Lee Trevino once said, “You can talk to a fade, but a hook won’t listen.” Remember The Merry Mex before changing your out-to-in swing path for more length. Not everyone has the swing and ball speeds required to hit a high draw. Perhaps a simple adjustment in equipment is all you will need to dial in that slice and find more fairways.

Various manufacturers offer an anti-slice driver, but which technology will help you avoid the short right miss that plagues most golfers? After putting the best draw-bias golf drivers to the test, I found that more than a few will help you lock in a fade and improve your accuracy—all available in different lofts and shaft flex to suit your game.

The more you slice the ball, the more the ball will spin, robbing you of the distance you need off the tee to shoot your best score. You need a driver that will reduce spin on impact and bring your misses closer to the fairway, allowing you to play your natural ball flight and turn your slice into a manageable fade.

Five Best Anti-Slice Drivers

On my mission to find the best anti-slice drivers, I put all of the major manufacturers to the test. There are a number of features engineered to prevent a slice, and I experimented with them firsthand.

For each driver, I tried different swing paths, from my normal swing to a banana slice, to see how the technology would react to different impact angles and speeds. The drivers reviewed below are the five best anti-slice drivers that separated themselves from the rest.

1. Cobra AIR-X Offset Driver

Cobra had speed in mind when they created the AIR-X Offset Driver. Its feather-light design makes it easier to increase clubhead speed, produce power, and correct an out-of-control left-to-right ball flight.

Let me first start by saying that this is a draw-bias driver designed for a player who struggles with a severe slice. This is not a tour-ready driver you will see on Sundays on TV. It is geared toward players who swing across the ball and generate high levels of left-to-right spin at impact.

While you will not see this driver on tour, various types of players can benefit from its technology. For seniors, beginners, and mid-level handicap players who are fighting a slice, the AIR-X makes sense at a price that is hard to ignore.

At 277g, the AIR-X is the lightest Cobra driver on the market today. It feels like a driver that I can grip and rip.

The clubhead is offset specifically to correct a slice. When a driver’s head is “offset,” it refers to where the leading edge of the clubface is constructed in relation to where the shaft is. The clubface of this driver is set slightly behind where the shaft meets the clubhead to correct the natural swing tendencies for those that slice. An offset, combined with the clubhead's heel weighting, leads to straighter drives.

If you send drives out of bounds (OB) right throughout the round or into the wrong fairway, this driver can help you straighten it out. The first key to lowering your scores is eliminating your foul balls off the tee and giving yourself a chance to hit a green in regulation with your next shot.

For seniors with less swing speed struggling with a weak slice that typically leaves you in the right rough with a long shot into the green, this driver can help you get through the ball faster, maximize distance, and narrow in your misses.

The AIR-X is a reliable option for those battling a slice and searching for a lifeline. This driver will keep you in play, out of the right tree line, and closer to the fairway instead of in your pocket.

2. Callaway Big Bertha B21 Driver

Since the ‘90s, I have been a fan of the Callaway Big Bertha suite of drivers. They are forgiving, long, straight, and some of the best golf drivers that I have hit. The Big Bertha B21 is no different, and I can attest that it is a worthy slice-fighter.

While all skill levels can successfully utilize the B21, Callaway designed it specifically for a high to mid-level handicap player who slices the ball off the tee, generating high levels of spin. The club is designed to maximize accuracy for the slicer, achieving lower spin and producing penetrating ball flight.

Callaway did not design this driver for a player who plays a draw with high swing speed. I am a drawer of the golf ball and found that the B21’s draw bias increased my hook. I was rarely able to fade the B21 due to its draw bias, but I can confirm that it can also assist low-handicap players.

The B21 is long off the tee. I generated exceptional ball speeds on the range and did not sacrifice any distance. While it increased my natural draw ball flight, I felt in control and comfortable swinging hard.

I see how the B21 promotes a straighter ball flight for any player battling the far-right miss. Callaway added an adjustable hosel to sync with your swing, and the driver has reduced face compression to assist you in starting the ball more left at impact.

The B21 has a large sweet spot similar to other Callaway models like the Paradym X. It is a sturdy, forgiving option for anyone trying to correct their slice while not sacrificing distance.

3. TaylorMade Sim 2 Max D Driver

TaylorMade makes the list with its Sim 2 Max D Driver. And you guessed it: the “D” stands for draw. This club is specifically designed to cure a slice off the tee, getting you closer to the straight fairway finder.

Like all TaylorMade drivers, the Max D is designed with twist-face technology. This technology promotes a straighter ball flight overall by altering the face angle of the club in areas that are prone to mishits. Shots struck off the toe or heel perform like shots struck closer to the center of the clubface.

In addition, the Max D is made to be set up closed at address. This means that when you grip the club, the clubface is slightly closed, even if it does not look or feel that way. At impact, your ball will start further left and slice less.

The center of gravity has been moved forward in the Max D to create less spin and maximize distance with a high launch. I found the driver to be long and straight, increasing my draw much like the Callaway Big Bertha B21 did with a few yards of extra distance.

The Max D is for low to mid-handicappers looking to lock in their accuracy off the tee, change their shot shape, and straighten out a slicing ball flight. TaylorMade created another fantastic option off the tee, and this driver proved to be as long and straight as any I tested.

4. Srixon ZK5 MK II Driver

This Srixon driver reverts from the newer carbon face to an all-titanium crown. Srixon believes this leads to a more pleasing sound at impact and greater energy transfer. I love how the Srixon sets up at address, and it feels solid standing over the ball with a more traditional look.

With a draw bias design, the MK II can correct your slice and minimize your shot dispersion off the tee if you typically find yourself spinning off into the right rough. While this driver is suitable for all skill levels, it is geared towards mid-to-high handicap players who hit many tee shots weak and to the right.

The MK II is more than capable of honing in your slice and hitting more tee shots closer to the center of the fairway. The MK II is one of the best-feeling golf clubs that I tested. It is forgiving, and I noticed that shots struck off-center kept their distance. The draw bias is clear but more subtle than the Sim 2 Max D and Big Bertha B21.

5. Callaway Rogue ST Max D Driver

Callaway makes its second appearance on the list with the Rogue ST Max D Driver. This driver is specifically for anyone battling a banana slice and struggling to find the fairway. While the setup and performance of this driver could warrant attention from a scratch player, it is designed for a mid to high-handicap player looking to improve accuracy and increase distance.

The Rogue ST Max D sets up slightly closed at address, much like the Sim 2 Max D. This may bother some golfers at first glance, but if you continue to suffer hitting balls OB right, you need to try it.

The D still stands for Draw in this model, and I could feel the draw bias at setup and impact. That said, I was comfortable at setup, and the club felt solid and great overall. The loud smack echoed across the tee, different than the ping of some drivers, and I felt in control of the ball flight and trajectory.

Callaway hits the mark for any player trying to turn their slice into a straight ball. This has the look and feel of a tour-ready driver but is equipped to help the high-handicapper.

Finding the Right Driver for a Straighter Ball Flight

No matter your handicap or skill level, if you are fighting a slice off the tee and want to discover a straighter ball flight, you must give yourself the best chance to succeed with the proper equipment. You don’t need a full-swing change to lower your scores. You need a driver that will help a slice.
