among them George Duncan,
without success. and finally got
the solution from Stewart
Maiden.
I should describe the cause OF
shanking as failure to keep the
left elbow close in to the body
when the ball Is being struck
That, In turn, is caused either by
bending the arm too much at the
top of the swing or by making the
hitting stroke too much of a right,
handed affair from start to finish
If the left arm is relaxed toe
much at the top, the elbow is
left in the ideal position to be
thrown away from the side, and
the only way to prevent its going
out is to pull down hard with
the left arm.
BY assuming the position Of ad.

elbow held out from the body, one
can see Immediately that the socket
of the club is the very first thing
to be presented to the bait. 1t is diff.
ficult to see how a shank could be
avoided.
