try your best to do a snap hook. You can go as far as literally turning your wrists (a la a baseball swing) right at the last second before you contact the ball (try it on a range first, if not, it gets a bit ugly).
But that is the #1 proven method to fixing a slice.

This is not good advice IMO.... This will just lead to hitting a nasty hook, which is no better than hitting a slice.
The best way to fix a slice is to avoid coming over top of the ball. This basically means the club is hitting the ball from a right to left angle. Basically, when you get to the top, you're lunging at the ball with your shoulders instead of shifting your weight with your legs.
Take a club and get to the top of the swing. Now, instead of trying to get all of your power on it with your upper body, shift your weight from the right side onto the left side (if you're a righty) and watch how the club naturally drops down to where it makes impact with the ball coming from the inside instead of over it. This is the cause of the slice, and just trying to hook it with your hands is not a good way to improve.
