Show SLICING BIG FAULT MANY FAIL TO MEND Trouble Arises From Several Different Dif-ferent Causes. Slicing Is the bane of golfing existence ex-istence for thousands upon thousands of golfers. It Is really surprising how large a percentage never overcome the fault. The harder they try, the worse many of them get The fault arises from several different dif-ferent causes. Probably In the majority ma-jority of Instances It Is derived from the habit of pulling In the arms Just as the ball Is struck. That, In turn. Is due to the fact that so many golfers golf-ers are leaning backward as they complete com-plete their stroke. Nine times out of 10 the reason la that they are not well balanced at any stage of the stroke. The chances are that they are standing with legs too stiff at the start of the backswlng, so that when they try to pivot they merely straighten out the left leg and almost pull It off the ground In their endeavor to get tbe body around. This, In itself, Is enough to almost throw them completely off balance, the body can't get much of a turn, and practically all the weight remains on the right leg from start to finish of the stroke. Then as a rule the right arm goes out from tbe body and they bring It In as It comes down on the ball. This means coming across the ball from right to left and Imparting a spin which sends the ball to the right That left leg must not be stiff and straight on the backswlng. |
