    You are slicing, topping the ball or hitting it thin because you teed the ball too low towards the ground.
    what the best practice, or ways to solve this problem?

    Don't be afraid to tee it a bit higher. Now, if you're topping it, you are most likely lookin up before your club meets the ball. If you are hitting thin, you are also most likely raising your head. This premature head raising pulls your club up and away from the ball. So, keep your head down. Really focus on the back of the ball and allow yourself to swing through before peeking. Now, for the slice: You are probably swinging the club too much up toward your head and down - putting a spin on the ball and causing the slice. So, to correct the slice, think of swinging around at the ball, more like you would if you were swinging a baseball bat. Good luck. These things worked for me. I'm now hitting it straight and around 270. By the way, I use a Snake Eyes Viper ti 460

    With today's drivers they're suppose to be teed high. The sweet spot of the driver is actually above the center line. Think of sweeping the ball off the tee instead of striking it.

    OOops I also forgot to add. That if you hover your driver behind the ball when you address it, this helps to relieve some tention, or at least you'll be more aware of it. Then draw your driver back slow and low to the ground. This will help you get your shoulders turned and this will help eliminate your slice.
