"You must hit through the ball, not at it, with the sensation that the clubhead is still accelerating after it has made contact. This is the secret to distance"
'The way to perfect this sensation is to practice hitting the ball as easily as possible, then increase the force of the swingby degrees, practicing each degree until it becomes a habit. The time will not be wasted. Perfecting each degree will teach you to play half shots, pitches, and chips. The easiest degree will help your putting.'
