Driver Problem

I'm having a problem returning my hands to square. I currently have a bad slice and I'm pretty sure that this is a large part of my problem. I don't struggle with this with any of my other irons. I usually have a very straight iron shot with maybe a little fade. I can draw it if necessary. But my driver is just out of control right now. Any tips or drills that I could try? Is it the length of the club that causing me the problem? Any advice would be helpful.

heres how i got rid of my slice big time and now hit a soft draw, you need to kinda let the club fall down the correct line, with a slight knee bend, your probably not releasing the club either, so let the club fall from the inside, then you release it, that worked for me great and no more slice

It could be any one of a number of things.

-move the ball 1 to 3 cm forward (toward left heel)
-take the driver back a few inches less at the top
-make sure your hips are not too far ahead of your hands
-is your head moving forward in the downswing (should be still or relatively so)
-focus on a high finish will usually help you get your wrists through the ball
-slow down, don't overswing

might be one of these, might not be any of them. Hard to tell.

When I'm having control problems I will sometimes choke up part way, THEN start working on it. Once I get it straight with the choke, then I can think about letting out some more club.

Try this drill. Swing your driver in a flat, shortened line keeping it about a foot off the ground while rolling your wrists as the club comes directly in front of you. On club length, you'll tend to fade or slice if the length is too great for you.
