J,

I agree with the above - acceleration through the ball is crucial. Swing at a speed through the ball that allows you to finish balanced. But remember don't be too quick in the first movement of the downswing!!!!

I'm working on letting the wrists release at the top of my back swing. A valued friend and fellow golfer (3 h'cap) brought this to my attention. He said I was quite rigid at the top. Apart from the extra distance this change has improved my tempo and finish.

I'm now hitting my 5 iron 140m on the fly (in winter). I'm impressed.

This wrist suggestion was also raised by pnearn in the last week or so.
