so i was recently starting to slice pretty bad. id get good distance, but it would always fade off. welp i experimented at the range today and i figured out that for me i need to turn my right foot in more. i keep it pretty much the same angle as my left foot. i was hitting straight bombs! the contact felt much smoother. with this i had to lean back to the right a bit more which made the ball go much higher so i dont know how good ill do in any stiff wind though. try it out and maybe itll work for you.

Does "lean back to the right" mean you pulled your right shoulder back away from the ball? If so, that matches what my instructor had me do to cure my slice. In my old swing, I had my shoulders open at impact, meaning just before impact my left shoulder was moving back away from the ball, which pulled on my left arm, which pulled on the club, causing it to swipe across the back of the ball and impart that dreaded clockwise spin. Pulling my right shoulder back helped me come through with my shoulders square at impact, which allowed the club to swing straight through the ball toward the target.
