First of all your posture and alignment have to be right, if your body is aiming to far left of the target you will swing back out across your line and then go farther outside to try and pull the ball that way, you want to feel like you are aiming to the right of the target some and hitting the ball out to the right of the target somewhat in order to stay inside the line. Second make sure that you set up with your back elbow (right arm if you are right handed) closer to your body at setup than your left elbow. If someone stands behind you looking down your target line they should be able to see a gap between your left elbow and your right elbow. Your target should be just to the right of your left shoulder as you turn to to look at your target. If you setup this way as long as you do not drift or rock back off the ball on your backswing you will hit the ball straighter or even right to left. Neutral grip works best. When people take too strong a grip they will often compensate by taking a weak stance and moving the ball too far back in their stance, opposite is true with too weak a grip. Keep your right arm somewhat relaxed on the back swing and the start of the down swing or a stiff right arm will throw the club outside the line you want. Hope this helps.
