Here’s the website in case you don’t like my answer…

I have the same problem with My drive and My instructor said I should slow down my swing and the distance will come in time.
There are a lot of different things to try,IE foot work,a stronger grip etc…,but try slowing down your swing speed and see if that helps..Good luck !!!
The problem could be in your grip, your stance, or your swing.
I found an article that breaks it all down for you:

Hope this helps.
You slice the ball because of a few factors:
*You probably have an outside in swing, meaning your feet are lined up to the target but you start you swing back to the right then you cut across with your body and swing to the left. This creates sidespin which causes the slice. You want the ball to fly more to the left so you think by swinging that direction you’ll straighten out, but in fact it causes it to curve more to the right. You should work on swinging towards the target, and you can do this by placing a tee 6 inches in front of the ball on the target line and try to make sure you hit the tee after you hit the ball. you will notice in order to achieve this you’ll have to take the club back a little more on the inside and then swing out towards the target.
*Now if you don’t have the outside in swing but you still slice you’re probably leaving the face of the club open at impact, which causes the sidespin again. A way to fix this is by changing your grip. Grab the club and turn your left hand on the grip until you see at least two knuckles and turn your right hand the same direction until you see no knuckles. The “V”s formed by your thumb and pointer finger on both hands should be pointing towards the right side of your body.
*The last possible fix is to make sure you “release” the club after impact, meaning your right hand rolls over your left hand. You can check this by taking a practice swing and stopping at waist high on the follow through. If your right hand isn’t on top of the left you are holding off the release, which leaves the face open.
And if after all this you still have a slice, just aim further left, whack away and enjoy the game : ).
One of two ways. Toe club in at address and regrip or play ball back in stance. Swing the same way you usually do. Good Luck!
the problem could be that you tee your ball too low, tee it a little bit higher.
Do your drives start straight then curve to the right? Do your drives start off to the left then curve to the right? Does your ball go straight off to the right at impact? In order to give your a good answer you need to explain which of the above is your problem.
The cure to slices lies in proper swing mechanics…..where do you get them? Not from a website nor from a book. You get them from lessons from a Teaching Pro and hours of practice….there is no free lunch and there is no way to shortcut proper swing mechanics.
aim more to the right and aim your shoulders right and turn your hands over.easy……..this should sort you out
