No Tugging
By BEST BALL
7.13
The trouble with letting the right elbow stray away from the side in the downstroke is that the clubhead will weave outside the line of flight and come across the ball from the outside in. Yet a similar error often happens in which the right elbow is not at fault. This is the player's tempta- tion to tug his hands in to- ward his midriff as the swing reaches the impact stage. The result is a slicing spin im- parted to the ball.
it
To overcome this habit, it concentrate necessary to on swinging out through the ball at this point in the swing to counteract the fault. Bobby Jones, shown in actual impact with the ball above, advises overcoming the trouble by having the right arm straight at impact. To accomplish this, the player will have to be swinging very much along the line of flight in a straight line as Jones is doing here. An inside out arc will also serve to cure the difficulty.
