"Instructors have every reason for not dwelling too much on this essential point - the correct timing of the blow - for it is an indefinable sense that is required, and a sense that no instruction can impart, to bring it home to a learner's mind. This much, at least, it is both safe and useful to say, by way of instruction anent it, that the common error is to put the force too soon."H. G. Hutchinson

IT IS NOT CORRECT TO SWEEP "THE WHOLE LOT" THROUGH
Download : "During this attack on the ball, I have always felt that there is a point which varies in every player, where the left shoulder checks momentarily to allow the "levering" which exists in a swing to take place. It is not correct to sweep "the whole lot" through." Henry Cotton Facts and Ideas Sport & Country. 21.1.51. Henry Cotton Open Champion 1934, 1937 and 1948
THE LEFT HAND
RESISTS THE HIT OF THE RIGHT HAND
Download : "Whilst there is a lot of talk of the "Swing the club-head" theory being all there is to the golf game, unless the wrists are strong you can swing to your heart's content and not get very far. You have to make the club-head do the work. This is my slogan, and this "make" implies effort, will power and resistance, for the golf club is more or less a lever and the left hand resists the hit of the right hand." Henry Cotton Facts and Ideas Sport & Country. 21.1.51. Henry Cotton Emperor of Golf By Charles Graves, 1948
Download : "In a golfing sense the hands in a way really work in opposition to each other at the crucial moment, the moment that counts, that of impact between the club-head and the ball, the left arm stopping at the wrist for an infinitesimal fraction of a second as the ball is struck, accelerating the speed of the clubhead. This momentary stoppage is not discernible to the eye, but it exists just the same."THE AMERICAN GOLFER 1920, Vol. 23, Iss. 28, pgs. 9, 26 Building Up A Game V-The Grip Fifth of a Series of Articles Taking Up in Complete Detail a Course in Golf Instruction By Walter J. Travis 1920. U.S. Amateur Champion 1900, 1901, 1903 British Amateur Champion 1904 Cuban Amateur Champion 1913, 1914. The Walter J. Travis Society
"The club head is whipped through the ball with the right wrist, with absolutely no crumpling of the left arm - it must be straight at this point. Nor must there be any deliberate turning over or rolling of the wrists. The sensation is of a scissors action that is the right hand hitting against the left hand checking. In other words, the right hand catches up in its race through the ball and passes the left at impact."Jack Gordon
Download : "Sixty years ago I remember that outstanding instructor Seymour Dunn proclaiming that golf was 85 per cent hands and only 15 per cent body. Nothing in a lifetime's experience in golf has happened to make me think otherwise. How right he has been!" 'THANKS FOR THE GAME' The Best of Golf With Henry Cotton Sidgwick & Jackson London Penina 1980 Open Champion 1934, 1937 and 1948
Download : "I have said enough to show that a boy need not grow up from babyhood "teethed on a golf club handle" and play the game diligently in his young days in order to excel at it. And it was when I was twenty-one and in my second appointment at Bury, Lancashire, that I began to study and learn
golf in real earnest." BY HARRY VARDON THE MID-IRON THE DRIVING SWING 1914. NOW AS TO GRIP Harry Vardon Winner The Open Championship 1896 1898 1899 1903 1911 1914 Winner U.S. Open 1900 Chicago Golf Club, Wheaton, Illinois. Courtesy LA84 FOUNDATION
