What are some drills you use in practice to eliminate a severe slice?

I fight a hook but in the past have sliced some also. I had a band at one time that kept the elbows close from flailing apart but haven't seen one in years. I also have used a tennis ball or some sort of small ball under my right arm pit while taking practice swings. This keeps you from taking the club away outside and eliminates outside-in swing path. Try putting a tee about 2 feet behind the ball just slightly inside of straight away and one about 2 feet in front of the ball just slightly outside of straight thru the ball. It is either the swing path or the dreaded grip change. Could be a number of things, hope this helps. Maybe try Golf Digest or Golf magazine. They are pretty helpful.

Before you do anything drastic, try to move the ball up in your stance. Line it up just inside your big toe on your front foot. This will give your clubhead time to catch up with your swing. Try that first and see if it takes away some of the slice.
