3. If you consistently slice the ball, you're tilting toward the target on your backswing. Your upper back will be closer to the target than your lower back once you reach the top.

FIX: Place a shaft in the ground on the opposite side of the ball at a 15-degree angle leaning away from the target. On your backswing, maintain your forward bend and move your chest even with the grip end of the shaft. This correctly tilts your upper back away from the target and eliminates the slice-causing reverse-pivot.
