Catapult the club so only the head moves down

For power and strike, only the club head should travel down to the ball at impact. Players who lose speed keep their hands and body working down toward impact, so the handle and clubhead move at the same speed and speed is lost. Instead, feel like you catapult the club: as it comes down the hands work upward and around while only the head descends to the ball.
