Power Slice Ring Adjustments
Below is a chart of ring adjustments you can to use when playing a power hook or slice with your driver. For those that are curious, this chart was created using 'known' adjustment values used by players far more skilled than myself and using linear regression to fill in values for every club and every level. In no way am I saying this is the best approach, but it's one way to get a starting point for your adjustments.

Zachary Jones
I would strongly encourage you to watch Zachary Jones's YouTube tutorials on playing power hooks/slices (Part 1 & Part 2). They address many different aspects/subtleties of the shot and can very quickly take you from a complete beginner to someone capable of pulling off some pretty impressive shots.
Nathan Taylor
Nathan Taylor has also done some incredible work on finding accurate ring adjustments for power hooks/slices. He has an in depth post about his adjustment figures. Here are a few links to his charts:
