A NEW WAY TO BRING RHYTHM TO YOUR SHOTS.

Delaying Wrist Action,

The majority of golfers find the utmost difficulty in this delaying of the wrist action until the unwinding of the hips is bringing the clubhead to its maximum speed. Swinging to music co-ordinates hip and wrist movement.

Every golfer has reflected at one lime or another on the wisdom of the old quip that golf clubs are "weapons singularly ill-adapted for their purpose." It is the fact that a golf club is a difficult weapon, to handle that makes players behave with it in a way that they never would behave with anything else.

Better Results.

golf club gives better results than any other instrument could possibly give-if the ball is correct- ly struck.

If the ball ie badly struck, dis- aster is Invited, for there is a minimum margin of error: The golfer, knowing this,. Is inclined to awing too stiffly. He bunches his

That, at least, is what a number of golfers have told me.

The Musical Swing.

I am ready to believe that they are right, for, there is a very aound reason why a musical swing should be a good swing.

A swing that is not proying effective will often be found to bo too hurried or too long The club is taken back too quickly. The wrists are brought in too eoon on the downward swing, so that their force la spent before the ball is reached.

A rhythmic swing brings the wrists in at the right moment-and does so by keeping the clubhead in time with hip and shoulder move ment.

Two Movements,

There are two movements in the awing that lend themselves to musical treatment.

Deliberate Attempts Fail Deliberate attempts to use the wrists in the swing will inevitably fail.

Mastery of Timing.

The strains of the "Blue Danube" should help the golfer to come to his swing in an easter frame of mind. He is not bothered with thoughts of "slowly back" or 'snap the wrists." The correct action, in fact, is If he goes back to music, allows a rather to strive to avoid using the beat for the cocking of the wrists como in and the pause at the top of the wrists.

mastery of timing.

It will be found that the wriste, at the top of the swing, tend to "cock." They poise themselves with something like the action of the cocking of a pistol. This is the angla at which they should be kept for as long as possible on the down ward swing.

Power is stored up in the cocked wrists, and released' as the clubhead The first is the winding and un-goes through the ball.

Stroking to music does not apply only to the driving swing.

Statching at the ball is a fault of many, players in approaching. The golfer needs. rhythm in his shorter shots as well as in his drives from the toe. The musical; wwing suggests a way in which the golfer may harmonies his game.→→→ (China Mail Copyright)..
