Two very important points that have already been mentioned are to ensure you do not give in on the downswing and to keep looking at the ball position right through impact.
Hi Brain,

Cheers for the info on how I should play the shot. I think I am not doing exaclty what you say in my shots on the course and looking up staright away. I do feel that I accelerate through the ball as this has been pointed out in my lessons by my pro that I do quite often show a natural acceleration in my down swing.
Cheers for the help
Mark
