wv atrOus Has Punch
But No Body Sway
EY Sol. NETZGER.

One Of my readers recently asked
me if the leading golfers used a
body sway on their long iron shots.
He had noted that they seemed to
come forward as they swung into
the ball. They do, but l would not
call it body sway, but more in the
nature OF a lunge of hips forward
to throw in the weight. AS proof
of what l mean, / took some slow
motion photos of AL Watrous and
examined them carefully. Then
sketched the outlines of his figure
to illustrate what l mean. AS Wat
rous' left leg bends in at the top
of his swing and the weight trans
fers pretty much to the left, his
left hip goes back q bit. as does his
right. Just the turn in of the left
knee will cause that. as one shifts
his weight. But as he swings down
he braces his left side. That pushes
his left hip forward on line. And
after he hits-when his weight goes
in-the tendency is for the body to
follow the pull of the arms. The
brace prevents that, but not en-
tirely, for the force of this weight
going forward into the swing turns
the left ankle forward a bit. The
result is the left nip moves for
ward an inch or so more. There is
no sway to the body in such
stroke.
Note the position of Watrous'
clubhead at A, B, c and d on his
iron shots. These sketches will
give the golfer a fine idea of how
the face comes around to meet the
ball and carry through from the.
inside out.
