Buy it! I used to have a TM R5 draw and it was great - never sliced since.

Robert Lee 4 - very pedantic comment- the guy who posted this is complaining of a bad slice. Buying a Draw driver wont straighten this out. It will be a waste of money - all the offset built into the club face will do is make the slice look minutely less terrible.

I actually have some zero offset blades which are lovely to hit - when you get it right.

no offence Dave ,pedantic? wasn't meant to be , only an observation , most players play with offset irons , so why not woods ? , get your point though , offset might correct you back  left only a few meters or so but for mid to high handicappers like myself it can make the difference between edge of the fairway and rough. offset/closed clubface/weighting will help with open clubface which you questioned , but not excessive cutting sidespin caused by bad swing. it won't

A draw driver can help a bad slice actually. I had an r7 draw and it helped change my slice into more of a pull, straight left. Then it was just a case of sorting that. Try a MacGregor nvg2 draw. Its a great slicers driver.

draw drivers dont work that well, i actually felt at first it made it worst. instead i sorted my swing out and bought a normal biast driver, turned out to be a good decision

Slicing's very destructive for the confidence, you'll end up doing it with all the clubs if you dont curb it, by all means get a draw driver or offset driver, at least your doing something positive about it and that helps with the internal mind games.

What it will probably also teach you is that your swing plane is all to cock, with too steep a swing coming into the ball as the forearms have been thrown out a bit too far from the body forcing you across the line and hitting the ball off the heel.

There are as has been mentioned here, and elsewhere, lots of symptoms regarding a slice and its level of severity, it always comes down to swing plane and a healthy backswing and tempo, lessons can help a great deal but they must be made to pay else your back where you started from five minutes down the road.

 Why is it so easy to hit a slice and so hard to hit it straight? Bloody stupid game.

I tell you something that is weird. It is extremely easy to unintentionally slice the ball. However, If I set up for a fade, I cannot fade the ball. The ball flight is always arrow straight for some reason. I have no problems at all drawing the ball but I cannot fade it intentionally for toffee..
