Feel the arms start down to the inside using a ground clock

Using a clock drawn on the ground (six to twelve o'clock), Craig Hanson takes the club away straight between six and twelve, then from the top feels the club and hands starting down more to the inside (he references about 30 degrees). He says this helps players who come in steep and hit slices or fades, and that swinging out more toward twelve-to-one can help many players create more of a draw.
