One of the big reasons people slice the ball is because they don’t know how to set up the club properly to the ball. When hitting your driver you should position the ball up in the top of your stance towards your front foot. You should then get a good size tee. After that technique comes into play. Most people tend to try and kill the ball and end up having an un smooth swing and chop at the ball. When a player chops downward the club face drives into the ball and hits it with minimal distance. This usually results in topping the ball or spraying it. To hit your driver well you have to have a nice smooth swing that will allow you to generate power with your lower body and upper body. The arms should swing while the lower body remains still throughout the process. Swing through the ball and you will see that your hitting the driver better and better. The driver has a huge face but a small sweet spot which means you have to hit it exactly on its sweet spot for your shot to become a good one. This is the best I can give you here. Its best if you seek out instruction from a Pro who can help you with your swing.
I had the exact same problem but what I did was turn my driver head a little down towards the ground (Just a tad). Like if you’re squaring up, turn the club a little bit counter clockwise in your hand. Play around with how much you turn it, but this instantly cured my slice, and maybe it can do the same for you. Good luck!
if youre hitting your irons consistant the problem with your driver maybe your shaft go with a stiffer flex you may be swinging to hard and making contact with the ball while the club is still twisting and flexing another thing you may try is raising your tee a litle
