Can't get rid of that pesky slice? You might benefit from one of these anti slice drivers and the best slice drivers for 2022!
We’ve all been there. The dreaded slice.
It’s one of the most common yet destructive shots in golf, especially off the tee.
The first thing that comes to mind when you’re spewing it onto the next hole is to change your technique, which is fine. But it’s important to consider the equipment you’re using too.
Nowadays, manufacturers produce plenty of options to help eradicate a slice when you’re using a driver – most notably draw biased drivers.
These aren’t guaranteed to fix a slice immediately, but they give you the best chance of reducing the severity of that pesky slice.
Purchasing a new driver is one of the most expensive buys you’ll make in golf, so if you’re in the market for one then be sure to check out our guides on the best budget drivers and the best drivers for distance and forgiveness.
So what are the best golf drivers for slicers?
Best Driver for Slicers & The Best Anti Slide
TaylorMade Stealth HD Driver
The revolutionary new STEALTH HD driver is equipped with a new face material that replaces over 20-years of titanium development, unlocking a whole new level of ball speed performance. Constructed with a draw-biased design to promote a right-to-left ball flight, by shifting the Inertia Generator closer to the heel it maintains draw-bias while creating the highest MOI in the STEALTH™ family of drivers.
Pros:
- Consistent ball flights
- Outstanding shelf appeal
- Very strong overall performance
Cons:
- Less confidence inspiring than outgoing SIM2
Titleist TSI1 Driver
The new TSi1 driver has an ultra-lightweight configuration which is engineered for players with moderate swing speeds. It offers maximum launch and distance across the entire surface of the face, to enable you to step on to the tee and perform.
Pros:
- Genuine anti slice driver
- Designed to be as forgiving and light as possible
- Great for slower swingers
Cons:
- Only designed for slower swingers
Callaway Golf Big Bertha B21 Driver
With an extremely low and forward centre of gravity the B21 driver is one of the lowest spinning drivers on the market and lower overall spin also means less curve on shots. Historically, a golfer has had to create above average swing speeds to get the most out of forward cg, low spin driver heads as failure to create enough speed would see the ball fall out of the air much too quickly. The Callaway Big Bertha B21 looks to change that by offering high launch capabilities but with incredibly low spin, giving the low to moderate speed players the chance to get the dreaded slice spin off the golf ball.
Pros:
- Adjustable hosel means you can get fully dialled in
- Feels fast off the face
- Also provides distance and forgiveness
Cons:
- Offset look won’t suit all visual tastes
Ping G425 SFT Driver
Ping’s new G425 SFT (Straight Flight Technology) is exclusively designed for players struggling with a slice, featuring a super high MOI and draw biased tungsten weighting for unrivalled accuracy and game-changing performance. With an ultra-premium matt black crown aesthetic, G425 SFT is a 460cc, straight necked design targeting mid-high handicaps.
Pros:
- Draw bias helps slicers create a straighter flight
- Very forgiving off-centre
- Consistently straight
Cons:
- Tinny sound at impact
Cobra LTDx Max Driver
A draw-biased, forgiveness loaded distance machine – LTDx MAX is the ultimate culmination of driver innovation and performance, sharing the extreme speed and stability of the standard LTDx alongside added draw bias for those who need it.
Pros:
- Improved sound
- Impressive forgiveness and consistency
- More refined aesthetics versus the last generation
Cons:
- Marginal gains versus last year’s Radspeed range
Cleveland Launcher XL Driver
The first thing to notice about the Cleveland Launcher XL Driver is the sheer size of it. Whilst all drivers are now bound by a maximum size of 460cc the designers are free to do with that 460cc as they choose, and the Cleveland team have done an amazing job of making the head look far bigger than the legal limit. Increasing the size of the profile has created a driver that offers the highest level of M.O.I which makes the Launcher XL the most stable driver Cleveland have ever produced.
Pros:
- Very generous head size inspires confidence
- Modern, premium finish
- Great for amateur golfers
Cons:
- Quite high pitched through impact
Mizuno ST-X 220 Driver
The Mizuno ST-X 220 has been designed as a confidence inspiring, draw biased driver for a slice which sees a heavy 20g weight applied to the heel section of the club head, and it is the ideal choice for the golfer than often struggles with too much slice spin on their drives. Aimed at the middle to higher handicaps with moderate clubhead speeds, the ST-X 220 driver produces more spin and allows these styles of players to launch the ball higher and maximise their distance off the tee. In a market dominated by lower spinning heads, the average golfer would actually be better served by slightly higher spin on their drivers, especially those that swing at slower speeds.
Pros:
- Easy to launch
- Stable ball flight
- Large sweet spot on club face
Cons:
- Not as exciting or eye-catching as offerings from some of the other brands
