Golfers who fight a slice tend to twist their bodies to the left before they start back.
That open position abbreviates the backswing turn, which gives the upper body a head start on the downswing. When the shoulders rotate open too fast coming down, the club moves out and away from the body, setting up an out-to-in swing. Result: pulls and slices.
Try this drill for more accuracy: Take your normal driver setup, then pull your right foot away from the target line about 12 inches—so your stance line is aimed right. Hit some balls, focusing on swinging your arms past your body through impact. The closed stance blocks your upper body from turning, so the club drops onto an inside path to impact. Bye-bye, slice.
