Hi gholam,

Iif it's the driver it will likely be EITHER your R7 had a 'Draw' preference (club head bend to help you get the club square at impact) or because the shaft is longer on the Cleveland (the longer shaft will make any swing problem bigger!).

Make sure you are not blaming the driver for a change in your swing path - are you definintely coming 'In to Out' on the down swing?

Re Pete's comments,
you can easily check to see if your swing path has altered - try taking your 3 wood off the tee a few times - do you still slice?
If yes - book a lesson. If not - it's the new driver!

Also........if your new driver is significantly lighter, you may have sped up a little and be casting from the top.
