"The most common slice is the one caused by bad timing of the wrist whip which results in in the club handle going through ahead of the club head. Slicers should learn to get the club head through on time with the handle. In this way the slice will be cured and distance gained instead of lost."ORIGINAL GOLF FUNDAMENTALS 1897, 1907, 1922, 1930, 1934

THE DUNNS SAY: "THIS BACK PRESSURE MUST BE EXERTED AT THE MOMENT OF IMPACT"
Download : "Indoor golf is not by any means a recent development; its beginnings in this country date away back to 1896. In that year a school was started in New York on Forty-second Street by Willie Dunn of the famous Dunn family. The idea spread to Boston and a school for indoor golf was started on the top floor of Noyes Brothers' store which, at that time, was a shop carrying a line of haberdashery and athletic goods. To this store in the winter of 1898 came Willie Dunn."'INDOOR GOLF SCHOOLS' By JOHN G. ANDERSON' Golf Illustrated & Outdoor America 1915 January Vol. 2, Issue 4, pgs. 34-37
"If it were asked of me, "What do you consider to be the most important one essential in Golf?" I would not hesitate to say - "the correct method of hitting the ball". Give that item your full attention. Practise it, master it, and you will be on the way to playing better Golf.""E. R. W." 1947

"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
