I'm a high handicapper and a big part of that is a wicked slice. I can hit the ball around a corner!
In trying to fix it I'm reading about coming over the top and outside in etc.
Found this archived thread that talks about "hit it to right field" or "put down alignment stick from 8 oclock to 2 oclock."

I saw alignment stick idea in a Golf mag article and they had done some research and it really worked and it really lasted.
Well, not for me. I have had two separate range sessions trying it and I'm shanking the ball and scrubbing it all over the place. I could sure use some help with this idea of "swing the clubhead along an 8:00 to 2:00 axis through the impact zone." For me that meant starting the club well behind me - instead of taking it away down the target line I was really working the club back behind me to get to that 8:00 position to swing through. Am I doing too much? Just keep trying it and it'll come to me?
The slice is killing me. It's got to get fixed and this "hit it to right field" or "alignment stick" idea seems to help lots of folks. Can someone give me some tips on implementing that so I can get some help out of it too? Thanks!
