As you swing down from the top, use the second ball – and your peripheral vision – to keep the clubhead behind the path of your hands.

If you slice, it’s likely because you’re allowing the clubhead to move in front of the path of your hands on its way from the top down to the ball. The club needs to stay behind the path of your hands until you start hitting the ball.
The next time you practice, place the ball on your back foot, like I did here. Set up and swing like normal.
As you begin your descent, use your peripheral vision and use the second ball as a guide for your clubhead, making sure it stays behind the ball rather than moving in front of it (as in, away from you).
The trick is to keep your trailing arm extended while keeping your trailing wrist bent (i.e. its top position) for as long as possible.
The clubhead is behind the hand path: no fade and plenty of power.
Give it a try.
