There's nothing to say it's definitely a grip problem unless you have actually seen him play the shot. Lifting your heel will enable you to make a better turn on the backswing and in my view is totally acceptable, however it is best to keep it firmly planted if you can. I would doubt it if your grip is making you slice AND hook. It sounds to me like you have an out to in downswing which can cause you to go both left or right, depending on where the clubface is pointing on impact. My advice is to get yourself along to a good local Pro to have a proper diagnosis as a lot of the advice on here seems to be hit or miss, including mine becaue I can't actually see you play.

Hope this helps.
