Hi Peter, I don't own the driver you mention but if I can offer some advice. I also suffered from a bad slice with my driver and tried a different club, initially it was better but then came back. I have found my grip was at fault causing the club to become slightly open as I came into the ball. Try this (if you play right handed) take your normal grip with your left hand, then as you look down at your hand move your grip slighlty more clockwise on the shaft. As you look at your left hand, you will be able to see at least 2 knuckles on your left hand. I found by doing this with my grip it gives the clubface a more slightly closed position as I come into the ball. I hope this helps you

Peter

I recently got the chance to test and review the Wilson Dxi Superlight for Golfshake. You can see the review here. http://www.golfshake.com/news/view/4944/Wilson_Staff_DXi_Superlight_Driver_Review.html

Having said that before you go and splash out on a new driver to cure your slice Id suggest you speak with a good pro and have a lesson or two as you may find that it is cheaper and more productive way of helping to cure the problem.

A lot of players slice when hitting their driver (this certainly includes me) is due to their body getting ahead of their hands. If this happens then when your club strikes the ball your chest will almost be pointing down the fairway, massively opening the club at impact. This is something I am working on now to make me hit more fairways.
