player spoils his brassy shots in his
effort to get too much power into
them. He should allow the club
to do more Of the work for which it
is designed. If, however, the ball
is cupped the problem IS not so
simple.
In.s kind of shot is especially
hard for a player who uses too
high a tee. The brassy shot, of
course, usually follows shot from
the tee and the difference in height
from a ball teed too high and a
cupped ball makes the brassy q diff
ficult club for many a player.

club should come to the ground q

believe this tendency goes back
very largely to the question of de-

The object of the spoon, of course,

with the brassy, excepting that the
