Accentuate keeping your head down a little longer(ala, corey pavin) and learn to feel the lag position as you strike the ball.
This is the position you want with every club. |
This is something I really focus on in practice. I keep the shaft pointing along the extended ball to target line as it traces behind me in the take away, at the midway point the butt end will point at the ball, then trace back along the line to the top. In the down swing the but traces back along to the point of release where the shaft end comes back along the line again.
There are a few nice graphic examples on this Golfdigest site from Nick Bradley's book.

This laser device sold by Butch Harmon does exactly that. The video probably explains the action clearer.
