Coming over the top

My playing partner insists I have an "out to in swing" and I need to correct it, by trying to swing more inside the line.

I do slice almost everything.

Anyone got any good drills to stop me coming over the top ?

yea, feel like your hitting down a target line to the right of your actual target.
and focus on weight shift forward. you could be rotating with your weight on the back foot.
try a flatter swing plane. tiger used to be a fade hitter with his old upright swing. now hes on plane and a draw hitter. one plane swings also require less timing

Easy fix: focus on keeping your right elbow near your right hip (even touch it) on downswing. Swing out (20* right of target).

Effort fix: go to the driving range, stick an old shaft or something like a shaft in the ground at an angle leaning similar to your swing plane, 2-3 feet behind the ball. You will be forced to stay inside the plane on your way down-- or you will hit the shaft which is stuck in the ground.

I'm having trouble explaining it. Check out this pix of VJ at the practice range:

Also, make sure your left wrist is not cocked or bent at the top of your swing, it should be straight. This helped a lot for me and prevents the club from coming from the top

Try a search for Inside Approach, i think this could work for you.

I'm a hip-spinning, over the top golf swing disaster but manage to survive somewhat by telling myself to keep my right shoulder back while I'm swinging. Another thing that helps me is to begin my swing by moving my right hip back before my hands/left shoulder get going. -Illbred Hybrid

That is a brilliantly concise description of the problems I fixed during the last few years! If I had my way with words the way you do, I would post the fix in a sentence or so!
