    No way to diagnose the issue(s) sight unseen. Could be your grip, takeaway, swing plane, etc. As suggested, take a lesson or three.......

    A slice means that your clubface is open when it makes contact with the ball. Lessons are always a good idea, or else, go to a range and play with your grip, your swing until you hit one straight...
    my reco... DO NOT ADJUST your stance and aim left so the ball ends up in the fairway... instead fix your swing.

    I agree the answer is just go get some lessons, but try moving the ball forward in your stance...meaning, if you're right handed tee the ball up so that it's close to your left foot (forward) as opposed to middle. This could help.

    Nothing new to offer, start with lessons. It helps some people if they see themselves on video, shouldn't be too hard to find a pro with a good setup with cameras, if that interests you.

    1. Fix your grip
    2. Seek professional help

    Obviously there are a lot of things that can be causing the ball to slice. Before you change your grip, stance, or ball placement, have someone who knows what they're doing watch your swing from behind. Have them check your swing path. By that I mean, are you coming across the ball, pushing the ball out to the right (left if you're left handed) or are you coming straight on the ball toward your target.
