"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
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
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 : "... 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."
