Fix your driver slice with the prop drill

The prop drill targets slicers who come over the top and chop down on the ball. By propping yourself so your lower body stays underneath your upper body instead of letting it pop out ahead, you avoid the 'slice tilt' swing that sends the ball curving out to the right. The instructor calls it a brilliant feel for slicers.
