Get rid of them, they are probably the problem. It may be the shafts or the heads, but if they aren’t working don’t waste your time. Good Luck.

Unfortunately, it is not the clubs that is causing the ball to slice.
Your best bet is to work with a teaching pro to learn what causes the ball to slice or to hook, and to take measures to correct this.
Sorry but there is no simple answer to your question.

Most likely with your slice issue you are moving your wrists with your swing to much, try keeping your wrists straight when swinging.
A good exercise to fix this is using a wrist watch and putting a pen in the band. This will help keep your wrists straight.
You could be overswinging as well.

hey…I have this same problem with my Alien clubs. My brother in law says it slices because of 2 reasons.
1. Your hand isn’t tight enough, causing the club to turn slightly when impact occurs.
2. Your shoulders are turned too much instead of being square with the ball.

I’m sure someone will try to give you an answer, but it’s impossible without seeing your swing. With that said, your hands are probably getting out too far in front of the club head during the downswing. Try swinging a little slower to give the club head a chance to catch up.

you got to have an inside to outside swing path. start bye taking the club head outside the swing path (imagine a straight line behind the ball.)the when you start your downswing it should be inside going towards outside after contact with the ball I know it sounds complicated but if you do the opposite and manage to hit the ball straight it will go and average of 42 yards less.

I am going to guess that your irons are steel shafted and your woods are graphite shafted? It could be a simple as that the iron shafts swing a little stiffer for you and when you swing the softer, graphite shafts the head can’t catch up to your swing and the face is open at impact creating side spin that makes the ball slice. This is very possible especially if you were not fitted properly for the clubs.

Ignore all the answers you have already gotten, nobody can tell you without seeing your swing. Get a driving range lesson with a Pro at your local course, they will fix your slice in a hurry. All the tips offered here could help, or they could make it worse. Your swing has memory, and once you perfect a bad swing, it can be very hard to correct it.
