Starting From the Top

If you jerk or pull the club down, using your right hand, it will be impossible to bring the club to the impact zone properly.  Once you have slowly brought the club to the top of your backswing, begin down slowly using your left arm to pull the club towards the ball.  A golf swing dominated by your left side is the key to returning the clubhead to the address position.

Make sure, when you are at the top, that you keep your hands as far away from your shoulders as possible in order to generate greater power.
