Dear Shadowjack,

One of the best swingthoughts there is, is to think of driving a nail through the golf ball. Imagine the head of the nail sticking out of the ball about 1/4" and as you swing through, just imagine you are driving that nail right through.

This thought promotes a nice slow swing through the ball and happens to be one of the big tips offered in the "AJ Truth about Golf" tapes, a very good investment in their own right.

Incidently, in the Golf Channels "Playing lessons with the Pro's" John Daly also says that is the swing thought he uses when he is hitting his shots.

I use it myself, all the time. It works, give it a try.
