Medicus Driver question – Still Slicing?

I have been using the Medicus Driver for about a week and can very easy make it not break during the take away. However when I actually hit the ball it slices. Anyone have issues with seeing flaws on your downswing. I know that this is my issue but how does the medicus show these flaws. It doesn’t really break for me in this area as the momentum of the downswing keeps the club from breaking?

cross your forearms (right on top of left) at the bottom of your swing. I can’t slice the ball if I do this. If I want a slice, I keep the right arm from crossing over (the underhand pitch mentioned above). Try it, and you will hit straight and LONG.
The Medicus isn’t perfect, and I’ve seen many slicers swing it without breaking it. The key to avoid slicing is to swing around your body, not up and down, which is a common mistake. The golf swing is just like a baseball swing. Because you’re already bent over, the club is automatically going to be higher at the back of the swing than when it hits the ball, but most people fail to recognize this fact, so they try to swing down at the ball.
Also, swing underhanded like skipping a stone. Just imagine coming down is like skipping a stone across a pond, if you just threw it down at the pond (like most slicers), it’d sink, but if you throw it underhanded, it would skip.
I have a good answer for all swing problems, however. There’s a site where you can post videos of your swing, and get peer to peer analysis, or analyze your own swing, and it’s free (totally free, no BS!). Even a cell phone camera will do, just get your swing on tape and post it. Go to http://www.swingacademy.com/ and post a video of your swing if you want really good answers. It took me from a 40+ handicap to a 10 in a few months.
Try sticking a glove under your left armpit (if you’re a right-handed golfer). The idea is to keep the glove in place throughout the swing. This will force your arms to roll over and the hands to release the clubhead- two things slicers don’t do.
Keep your spine straight and swing around your body. Most people who slice are dropping their right shoulder through the swing(dipping they call it). Rotate your shoulders evenly and try not to dip.
