greater proportionately han any increase
in the speed of its fight. Hence. he
points out that It takes more than ha,f
as much extra strength in the drive in
order to increase the gain in distance
by one-half.
To gain as much as ten yards In
your drive without the use of 'underpsin"
means a tremendous extra %cxpendl-

the extra distance can be obtained by
