What is the best ball for helping with a slice off the tee???

If your swing path is over the top there is no legal ball that will help your slice.

Invest in some lessons and fix your swing flaw rather than purchasing equipment that claims to mask it.

In the short run consider teeing off with 3 wood and hybrids to keep your ball in play. A slice with a driver will rob you of way more distance than a heavy fade with a 3 wood.

Every time I go into Golfsmith and ask this question, they point me toward the Bridgestone e6. So, of course, I bought a box and tested them on the course. For me, the ball did appear to go pretty darn straight. However, I wasn't enamored with the ball and can't say that this is definitely my ball of choice. From my last post, I took the recommendation to buy a box of the Callaway HX Diablo Tour. So I will test those out next week. Is there any consensus out there on the best ball to help keep close to the fairway without sacrificing distance and still has a little spin on the greens with a nice putting feel?

No - there isn't.
If there really were such a ball, the queue to buy it would stretch from here to the tip of Alaska. If you can't keep the ball on the fairway, can't hold the greens, can't hit it at a reasonable distance - it's not the ball at fault. It's you. Get a ball you like the feel of when you putt and with a receptive enough cover to enhance the spin you put into it. And then play golf...

I love Your posts in general.
Good and sane call on this matter. :friends:

+1 w/ the 3 wood... I use that 95% of the time off the tee, then again, I have been using the Adams F11Ti and now the XTD, and that is just about as long as a drive for me, but with 2x the fairways found..win/win. As for the ball I play, it is the e6 and the Gamer V2. Both balls will help with the slice some... the rest is up to you.
