II is rather a dangerous shot to
play, because number of the cham

trapped in such manner that the
pulled ball is often times badly pen

obtaining greater distance.
The bah seems to have an over
spin which causes it to run for some
way after ii first strikes the ground.
OF course this is in direct contrast
TO the slice ball which having spin
sideways tends to stop the ball.
1t is a very great advantage to be
able to play the slice and pull
because oftentimes a tree or some
other obstruction presents itself and
no stroke need be lost by playing it
safe when there is a possible chance
for one or the other.
But for all that. never play either
shot when "a straight one may be

straight ball down the middle of the
