I play golf sometimes, and I swing my clubs not too fast. My iron shots go up high and mostly straight, but I struggle to make the ball spin. However, when I use my driver, I often hit a slice. I’m wondering if there are golf balls that can help reduce this slice, or if it’s just marketing hype. If they really do help, I’d like some recommendations.

Novelty balls, such as the Polara Ultimate Straight, actually help decrease a slice by using special dimple patterns when aimed right.
However, for typical golf balls claiming to fly straight? Not quite. Cheaper balls often claim straight flight because they have less spin, which theoretically can lessen a slice. But in truth, it’s more like reducing a 50-yard slice to 49.25 yards.

Range balls can help reduce your slice.
Get a few buckets of them and practice your swing until your slice improves or is easier to handle.
A good swing will make the biggest difference. But if you’re still curious about balls, look for ones labeled “low spin” or “distance” specifically designed for drivers.
The best golf balls for slice are typically those with low spin and a straighter flight path, like the Bridgestone e6, Titleist DT TruSoft, or Srixon Soft Feel.
Yes, it will help reduce the severity of a slice or any mistake, but the Chrome Soft X LS is still a very expensive ball. You probably don’t want to spend that much money regularly when there are cheaper low-spin options available. Look for balls that advertise distance. These are usually low compression, lower spinning balls that work well for high handicappers.
