Thanks spectrophage. Ahh the ol slice. I used to slice the ball but after some good instruction I hit it straight or with a draw. I find it hard to intentionally fade the ball now. lol here's something to try. When you start your downswing swing your hands down toward your right foot. It will feel funny but should help you hit the ball from the inside. After you master that try taking the butt of the club right at the ball, as far into the swing as you can. Good luck.
