Driver Problems!

before i use to have a nasty slice, i fixed that, now my ball goes straight everytime, but no where i wont it to go, sometimes i hit it, it goes right, other times it goes straight left.
Pretty sure its not alignment because ball goes left and right, but what am i doing wrong here.

start with this, work on a slightly bent but firm right knee (no locking up), keep it braced, and make sure that you maintain you spine angle through out the swing. (straight back, chin up, keep your head fairly stayionary, and don't try and kill the ball).

check your driver lenght it is possibly to long, anything over 44'' can cause problems.

Get a lesson from a knowledgeable professional. A couple of lessons and you can stop figeting with your swing. There is nothing worse than not knowing if its going left or right. You could play with that problem for a long time.I know what i'm talking about

With the info you have provided.
Checkoff:
If you are not slicing your closing the club head properly.
If your alignment is correct your feet are parallel to the ball and pointing to a spot to the left of the target (right handed).

You go left or right because you are pushing the ball. Concentrate on:
1 backswing - swing the club straight back and don't hinge until past parallel.
2 swing the grip not the club head and make the grip end point at the ball going up and down.
3 have the bottom of you swing between 3 to 8 inches behind the ball (for drives your own preference) and at the midpoint of the ball for irons.

You are almost there. Think about your aim more instead of mechanics when you play.
