In Fig. you viii see illustrated the
common practice Of letting the right
shoulder droop just before the ball
Is hit. This results from pressing
Keep within yourself-that Is. hit
only as hard as your natural swing
calls for-and this shoulder Will keep
to It's correct place. The correct line
for the clubhead going through, in
Fig /, would be from 8 H to d, but
because OF this droop Of the right
shoulder the clubhead will travel
from 9G to Z G.. This causes the club
face to open up or toe slant away
from the ball, and the slice spin re-
suits. The position Of the club face
going through the ball in this way is
shown in Fig. 2.
Many golfers have the bad habit of
shrinking from the ball at the mo-
ment Of impact. This does not result
from a so-ca1led psychological fear
of the ball so much as from an In
stinctive feeling that the clubhead is
not going to hit the ball right This
results In the player trying almost
unconsciously to correct things in
time to hit Doing this. he draws In
the left elbow to keep the clubhead
from hitting into the ground and also
he falls back away from the ball.
