Personally, 7 do not think that there

unless, OF course, you can get one to
70 out % or 30 yards further than a
tightly wound ball which Is not so
lively. Taken all round. l think that
. tightly wound ball at the full weight
Is very much superior from six lhandi-
cap down than lively one. because it
il easier to control in the approach
shots. Especially is that so when you
are faced with hazards and bunkers. A
lively ball is also likely to be terror
