I often encounter people trying to 'roll the wrists over' to cure a slice when the real problem is that their downswing is 'out to in' (coming over the top) or their left hand grip is too weak. I don't understand 300Yards' comment, as you need to initiate the downswing with a 'slide' of the hips, then 'turn' them.
Yes, you do, but too much slide causes a bunch of problems. It shouldn't be as much of a slide, more like a transfer of weight, then a turn. Of course, I also lift my left heel slightly, so I don't really slide, I just transfer that weight smoothly, and it's more of a turn, then a slide.
