Here is a great tip from golfdigest.com. This simple mental image will make a dramatic impact on your swing.
Brush up on swing basics
For solid contact, think of the swing as a painting motion
PAINT THE BALL: Coming down, mimic a painting motion. The handle leads the bristles, just as the grip should lead the clubhead.

The wrist action you use with a paintbrush is similar to that needed in the golf swing. It's one of the most vivid images we use in golf instruction. I first learned it years ago from my own lessons with Ken Venturi and George Fazio.
The premise is that when you paint, the handle leads the bristles in a loose-wristed motion back and forth. Same holds true in a good swing: The handle leads the clubhead. This is especially true on the downswing, where clubhead lag leads to an explosive delivery for crisp, powerful shots. Think of Sergio Garcia's swing, with the clubhead lagging well behind his hands until just before impact.
Next time you hit balls, think about a relaxed-wrist painting motion. You might be surprised how easy it is to hit the ball solid.
