Check forearm alignment to fix a slice

For accuracy, check your forearm alignment at address. If you tilt the club so your trail arm sits higher than your lead arm the forearms point left; if the trail arm is lower than the lead arm they point right. In the demonstrated setup, a forearm line pointing left would make you come across the ball and hit a big slice. The fix is to look at the forearms and move them around until they feel lined up, which for a right-hander used to the old position may feel like aiming a little to the right.
