How to cure a golf slice originates in the set up - ball position, posture, aim, and grip.
If you happen to be a slicer, more times than not your shoulders are open because your ball position is too far forward which also creates a weak golf grip.
To check it, using a 7 iron, set up for your normal shot then stand up from your posture lifting the club from the ground straight out, arms extended. This will tell you where the club is pointed. If the club is pointed to the left that means the ball is positioned too far forward.
What you want to do is set up with your feet together with the ball in the middle. Then take one step forward with your front foot and one step backward with your rear foot.
Then slightly move back so the ball is positioned slightly forward in your stance. Now stand up from your posture again lifting the club straight out. Now the club should be pointed in the center showing you that you have a good ball position.
Once you establish that good ball position, move your right shoulder slightly back to feel that they're square or slightly closed.
This should help eliminate your golf slice.
Please take a look at this video for a more detailed explanation on how to cure a golf slice.
