Tell us this. Is is actually a slice are you experiencing, or does your ball start off straight, then fade off to the right, or perhaps starts right and stays right?

If your irons go straight, you are probably not coming from the outside too much, however it is a possibility. There is a tendency to overswing with longer clubs, which causes what is called a "cast" or the wrists uncocking too early which causes the clubhead to come from the outside. Usually you make a subconscious correction when this happens and open the clubface.

That's what causes those ugly open faced push slices. This is probably what is happening to you.

When you are at the range again, focus on swinging smooth with your driver and minimizng your hand action through the ball. Then once you get the ball going straight, add your hand action back in, making sure you are releasing as the grip of the club is pointing at the ball, not the ground behind you. If you do this, there is no way you are going to come from the outside.
