I had a bad slice a while back that I couldn't fix. But like someone said earlier it may be the angle the face of the club is at impact.

I had a bad habit of turning my hands and opening the club face on my back swing. Now I just tell myself and practice not opening the club face and it's not slicing anymore. Also idk if this pertains to you or not but I would have trouble turning my shoulders all the way (bigger upperbody) so I wasn't keeping my arm straight and was coming outside in on my downswing, so I started doing 3/4 swings or as far of a backswing I could while keeping my arms straight, elbow in, etc. and it cured the slices for the most part aswell, may not hit it as far, but ill take straight over the fairway on the hole over any day .

But it could be a number of things, not keeping your elbow tucked in depending if you're a lefty or righty, not keeping you left arm straight if your a righty vice versa for left handed.

odds are you're looking up to see where your ball is going.. this causes your head and shoulders to move forward which makes your club face go to a open position. Try hitting 5 balls without even looking at where the ball goes then address the ball and strike it. wait one second and look down your line. remember when your practice starts begin with a wedge or 9 iron and progress towards your driver.

Going to take a lot of time, but turning my face in a bit helps.
