Without seeing your swing, there's nothing I can really do to help you cure your slice, other than to tell you to make the exact same swing you do with a 5 iron. Don't try and kill it, this can cause you to block the ball out to the left.

I'm a fellow lefthander

im thinking that what is happening is that my take away is not on line where it should be, or that my grip is screwed up.

It definitely could be grip, and it definitely could be takeaway. Just try to make the same exact swing with the driver as you would a 5 iron, just make believe it's a 5 iron lol. It could be so many things I would have to actually see you hit a few.

Your probably swing \ through the ball, rather than straight on |. I had a wicked slice for a while because of that. Instead of pulling the club back around your body, pull it straight back from the ball till you get a feel for it and it gets more natural. Also, think of how the club face is position when you his the ball. If your hands get there before the club, your face will be open and it won't go straight. Sounds weird but try it, helped me out. I used to shoot around a 90 on a good day.

You could be coming over the top when you start the downswing which is making you come across the ball. Coyld be the grip too. A little stronger grip may help you out
