Are you lining yourself up with the ball properly?
If right handed put the ball into the drivers head and back the club up about an inch (2.5cm). Put your left foot even with the ball, big toe should be right at the ball,then back up until you feel comfortable, add the right hand and swing. Try that. Now if you slice or hook after that, open your left foot until the hook/slice starts to die. But whatever you do keep that ball in the center of the driver and adjust yourself not the club.
Now for long irons, cradle the ball where the club and shaft meet. Nestle it in there. Again, adjust you not the club. The longer the iron the more the big toe is even with the ball.
That's how it was explained to me, I played around with that stance and adjusted myself never the club once I set it down and my score got better almost immediately, it really took out my slice.
I hope this helps.
