I hit a nice draw with my irons but my woods I slice ?? I couldn't hit a driver as it sliced too much. I've now figured out what's wrong. I used to position the ball way forward, in line with my left heel, but by moving the ball back 2 to 3 inches I no longer slice but hit it dead straight.The further forward you place the ball the more you open your stance compared to your feet.

Re: Curing slice with ball placement
ball position doesnt really have anything to do with how open your stance is. the solution is only temporary and you should see a pro.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.
For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
Re: Curing slice with ball placement
Bonzi is right, ball position doesn't effect your stance, however, ball position does make a difference to your swing path.
I thought I played the ball off my left heel for 1W - until I saw my setup on video. I was playing the ball off my toes. So I moved it back to my heel (in the video) - about a 3 inch move - and started hitting the ball straight.
With the ball too far forward, it simulates an out-to-in swing path which puts cut spin on the ball.
