Use the second ball – and your peripheral vision – to keep the clubhead behind your wrist as you swing down from the top.

When you cut, it’s likely because you’re allowing the clubhead to travel in front of your hand path on the way to the ball from the top. The club needs to stay behind your wrist until you start to go into impact.
Next time you practice, place the ball off your back foot like you see I did here. Set as usual and turn.
Using your peripheral vision as you start down, use the second ball as a guide for your clubhead, making sure it stays behind the ball instead of in front of it (like it’s away from you).
The trick is to allow your trailing arm to lengthen while keeping the bend in your trailing wrist (ie, how it’s set up) as long as possible.
Clubhead behind the hand path: no slice and lots of power.
Try it.
