Feel the Club Going "Up the Hill"
Try 'Up the Hill' Drill to Fight a Slice, Learn Inside-to-Outside Swing Path
A rear view - the back shoulder dips, the hands drop and the club flattens out. It's clear that the club is now on the inside and ready to come through the downswing on an inside-out path with the club feeling as if it's going "up the hill."

Practice swinging "up the hill" on the side of a driving range, the side of a tee box or anywhere else you can take a slight uphill stance. Swing up the hill on the side of a tee box several times before each of your tee shots during a round to remind yourself of the proper feeling.
