Cure an over-the-top slice by swinging on an arc
Instead of swinging over the top in a straight line with just hands and arms, understand the swing as an arc that travels around your body, returns on line to square impact, and swings back around your body. Feel like you're going low and round, keeping the lead (left) elbow much closer to you so you swing from inside the line to outside. From there the wrists can release the club; if you keep swinging across it you have to hold the face off, whereas an inside path lets the ball draw.
