On his show, he showed very clearly how higher handicaps take to too big of a backswing and then decel through the ball. He advocates thinking to yourself, as the club comes back think the work "SAAWWISH" and then when the club comes back through the ball think "SWISH" to emphasize the acceleration through the ball.
