In this way the slice will be cured and distance gained instead of lost."ORIGINAL GOLF FUNDAMENTALS 1897, 1907, 1922, 1930, 1934

"IN A GOLFING SENSE THE HANDS IN A WAY REALLY WORK IN OPPOSITION TO EACH OTHER AT THE CRUCIAL MOMENT"
WALTER J. TRAVIS SAYS:
"NOT DISCERNIBLE TO THE EYE BUT IT EXISTS JUST THE SAME"
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."

"In other words, there was in his swing a sort of left hand against the right hand, a resistance to the right hand somewhere, and I think people overlooked that, and still do. If the shot is to be pushed the hands remain ahead of the ball at impact. If an ordinary shot is required, then the wrist can be allowed to 'throw' or 'flick' the club."Henry Cotton
