Favorite Drills for Correcting a Slice?

Tons of stuff on social media to fix a slice but what are some practice drills that y'all have found most successful?
On my fairway woods and irons, I play for a fade but it's not as controllable with my driver.

Easiest I’ve found is to set up address with extremely closed stance, & forces you to swing on inside to outside wing path. Usually after 10 or so balls, has me tuned back up to my natural tight draw, boring flight.

Towel drill. Tuck a towel between both arm pits and don’t let it fall during the swing.

Previously, that’s how I’d tee off, especially if I was trying to get a little extra distance. Drop that right foot back and turn the toe out a bit.
Been working to keep my elbows in front of my chest on set up and keep the toe of the club from opening up on take away.

Depends on what’s causing it. May just be heel shots. Would have to see your swing.
Spray some powder on your clubface and see where you’re making contact.

Hit balls with a ball bucket about a foot down the line but on the outside of the line.
Swinging this way, X is bucket, 0 is ball
<——
X_______ target line
0
Shoot. The ball was formatted to the wrong spot. Put the ball under the word target.

The club head has to win the race on the driver. Focus on making sure that happens and a lot of the rest may fall into place.

I think I saw a Rahm clip with the half swing, but I did something similar.
I had to do this move where I felt like I let my hands drop at the top to about where my lead arm was horizontal and then rotate through to stop my over the top move.

Rahm’s swing is already so short, what does his half swing look like, hand stop at the hips?

Work to keep the face closed in the back swing. Lots of lessons are moving in this direction.
Focus on hitting it to right field and not letting your hips get out in front of your arms.
If you’re swinging out to the right, aiming for the inside, lower left quadrant of the ball, and make contact with a closed or semi closed face, you’ll block the ball at worst. If you start to hook left, slowly back off on closing the face.
That water bottle drill is an extreme measure but it captures the idea.
Just have to get rid of that accelerated upper body rotation that feels powerful but is really just swiping across the ball and killing your distance. It’s a tough habit to get out of, really tough.
Pushing with your whole body, back to target, to right field and then what feels like a delayed rotation is the right feel. Will feel like you’re going to hit it a mile right but you’ll be amazed what happens when you get it right.

Motorcycle move/ wrist flex.
If you find yourself hitting it to far left(straight left not a hook) back off slightly on the flex or by opening your stance a little it will produce a fade.

Lol. Probably a just a wrist hinge.
Point being though was he used to have a longer back swing but the coach proved to him he could smash with an abbreviated back swing and the it was the body and not the arms providing power.

I was going to say the exact same. One of the best drills I’ve ever incorporated that will help you get on the right plane.
