Cure a driver slice by rotating your forearms

For golfers who slice the driver, Maude (relaying Pete Cowen's approach) adds forearm rotation on top of the trail-elbow drill. From a square face at 12 o'clock, rotate the forearms more toward the ground so the face arrives around 11 o'clock (slightly closed) at impact. The face is squared by rotating the forearms while the trail elbow stays in, not by consciously closing or flipping the face with the hands as most golfers try to do.
