the arm In being backed up by the
shoulder coming forward caused by the
waist motion. Very often the athlete
will follow the shot too far with the mo.
ton OF his body. and even though his
front foot Is firmly on the ground. his
arm being extended SO far out. combined
with the movement OF his body. may
tend TO overbalance him. aud he will fall
or step over the line. which IL foul
and renders his effort useless. To Offset
this there Is In every good put a feeling
OF being pushed back from the line. for
the athlete Is showing against the shot
aud In doing SO he pushes himself back.
Good putiers have often said that they
experience this sensation In making their
best efforts, aud IL can only happen
when q straight push Is used. for II the
shot gets away from straight line the
athletes body gets ahead OF the missile,
aud he not only loses force, but Is apt 70
fall over.
The fourth illustration pictures an
athlete who has just delivered the ball.
he was evidently a novice. for his feet
have not been changed. His right arm
Is extended rather lower than would be
the case II he had put the shot right.
and his left foot Is the forward ono.
which proves that he did not know the
motion. He may have assumed posi-.
ton in the beginning similar TO that
shown la the first illustration. and NIL he
probably did was to shove his right arm
out and turn his body just little. The
body could not be turned much with his
feet In the position as shown, and the
difference between the ending OF this de
livery and that shown ia the third MIC
turc Is very marked.
