90% of the time I drive or hit with an iron, I slice the ball hard right. I can get the air and distance, but it slices so much it’s out of bounds.
I try to face the club more inwards and it will still slice. I’ve tried different distances from the ball, different stances, and different grips. What am I doing wrong?

you are probably coming too inside on your take away, causing you to come over the top
try taking practice swings, but stop the club right before you hit the ball, if it is open, this is probably your problem
try taking the club to the outside of the line on the take away
Put the ball back in your stance, strengthen your grip and more turn around the ball like a baseballplayer and finally, focus on releasing the club through impact.
You’re bent over too much with your back arched and your head is bent down looking at the ball. Your can’t swing with your spine in a single line bent over like that.
Stand up straight and just stick you butt back 6 inches. It is that simple. Then hold your head more up (almost looking straight ahead) so you have to look down with your eyes to see the ball. Watch the pros stance.
This keeps your spine in a line so you turn on it as straight pivot and not hockey stick as when you’re all bent over. Slice be gone!
A simple answer is to try and get your hands to do more work as your hands are the thing that control where the ball goes. If you try and use your hands more you will find that the club face is more square at impact and therefore it will not slice.
In a slice there is a push slice a pull slice and a normal slice think of it this way a pull slice is a club face that hits across the ball path that hits the heel of the club when the face is slightly shut. A normal slice cuts across the ball hits it pure with a wide open face. A push slice is a club face the is severely going underneath or pushing the ball right the face is open but your coming from the inside. All of these flaws has many variables just work on Your takeaway so its either a little inside or a little outside or even straight back if you can manage that it doesn’t matter! When you hit the ball it can cut across the ball a little or hit the back of the ball or just come from the inside and hit a light draw. Pros do this on demand good players do this at random and keep the ball in play its all takeaway and just making a good balanced swing.
This is really simple all of the pros swing differently but do the basic things correctly make sure you have a grip that is in your finger on your right hand if your right handed and firmly secure in your fingers and palm in your left Vice versa for lefties. This is all you need just hit the ball in balance voila!
