A far better "miss" is a block. That means your club is coming from the inside but your clubface is still slightly open BUT on the same path as your clubhead. So no sidespin. You need to release a bit quicker. If you do, y ou will hit a nice DRAW. So a block is a good start. Also called a push.
A push slice is the result of usually a inside or square path but a way too far open clubface. Could be a grip problem.
I went from a block to straight just by relaxing my grip. My death grip didnt allow the clubface to open. If I come over the top now I pull it instead of slicing it.
...rather hit a 5 yard pull than a 40 yard slice
