Staying away from the eerie wording
The best would be to shorten your swing, swing inside out and use the balls with lower compression.
thanks greatly,

ps. If that doesn’t work, then you should go to a big sporting goods store and get the Manager or at least the Asst. Manager and ask them What kind of fishing rod and reel you should bye.

Distance balls are the same as low spin balls. Meant to spin less, therefore reducing the slice/draw factor. High spin balls will slice or draw more, and also have better holding power when hitting shots to the green. That is why the better the golfer, the more spin on a ball he or she tends to like. Allows them to control the ball more. Most beginners to intermediate golfers don’t have the abilty yet to “work the ball” or alter their swing to make the shot draw or slice on purpose. They prefer to just hit it straight and far. Hence the use of distance balls.

The softer ones spin more, which will magnify your slice. Go for the harder ones like Topflite and Maxfli.

The balls have very little to do with your problem. The problem is your swing. No ball is going to help a bad swing by itself. Go to the range and ask a good player what you are doing wrong. 90 out of 100 will be glad to help.

Swing flaws (and yes a slice is a swing flaw) will not be corrected or even modified substantially by any ball. to fix the flaws you need to get a lesson or 2 from a trained teaching Pro.

little tricks and equipment is not the answer, u need to work on your swing first, watch youtube videos and goto the driving range and work on your swing, then it wont matter what ball you use. because when u get good, u want more spin and there are balls for that

Have a read at this website. It’s not the best layout but it has some good information:

Logically, the softer ball will stay in the club face longer and if the player has an outside -in swing, the ball will slice more than a harder covered ball .. First, take lessons to eliminate the slice or at least modify it and then use any ball for they all react in much the same manner.
