To change your path, you must feel the extreme opposite of your current natural swing tendencies.
Higher swing speeds naturally force the club back into old patterns; practice at 1/10 or 4/10 speed to groove new path movements.
The 'secret ingredient' is ensuring your hands stay close to the body line rather than 'tipping out' or pushing away from the ball at impact.
Trust your start-line: slicers must try to start the ball right of the target, while hookers must try to start it left.
Path is the primary factor for consistency in ball striking, power, and starting line.
