Billy and Craig Harmon Stop Slicing

I've published some of Billy and Craig Harmon's golfing.Com films before, but this one has one honestly cool tip which could assist you restoration your slice FOREVER. (And no, I do not say things like that very regularly.)

Here, test this little 2-minute video:

Billy's tip about taking your grip and then holding your arm straight out in front of you to see whether the club face is open or shut is one of the coolest little spot checks I've ever seen. PLEASE NOTE that when he straightens his arm, the back of his lead hand is facing the target. This is the key! If you aren't getting the back of your lead hand to face the target at impact, you have one of two choices:

1. Correct your backswing because you're twisting your forearms (and the club face) open on the way back. This is the best solution.
2. Take a much stronger grip than Billy recommends... but if your problem is caused by twisting your forearms on the way back, that won't fix the problem.

If you want to experiment a bit, I would suggest taking a Impartial grip -- that is, where the club face is square when you take Billy's "test" -- and see what happens when you hit the ball. If you hit the ball straight or draw it, pointing the V in your lead hand toward your trailing shoulder will likely make you hook it too much. But if you hit a slice, then you need to get that V pointed toward your trailing shoulder pronto!

The entire video is loaded with helpful hints however Billy's tip also can assist you learn how to shape the ball left or proper at will surely via strengthening or weakening your grip. That's a completely useful little method to have on your repertoire.
