BY SOL METZGER.

II read an article in golf maya
zine the other day by Walter Hagen.
He says that on pitch shots he hits
the ball just below its center.
Does he mean that he strikes 1t
with the edge OF his mashie? He
also says that one cannot pitch a
ball to great height and have it
drop straight down on the green.
i wish you would explain what he
means" queries a player.
Hagen IL quite right. He does hit
the ball below it's center line on
pitch shots. but he means a line
parallel to the ground and running
through the center of the ball.
When I first took up golf had an
idea. from reading various articles,
that backspin was impaired to
pitch shots by some trick Of hitting
the ball below this center line with
the sharp edge of the pitching club
and driving that edge on through
and into the sod. as / have sketched
at the top OF the drawing.
Instead. the ball is hit with the
Jaw Wa AhC 1AAb oh AAC
downswing and before the sharp
edge makes contact with the sod.
It's the same contact the palm OF
your hand makes IL you toss a ball
few inches and cut down on il
with a sharp blow that permits the
palm to strike the ball as 1t goes by.
That gives an underspin TO the ball.
just like the one the club face i'm.
parts TO 1t when the pitch Is played
properly.
No. you can't get tremendous
height to pitch shot. The eleva.
ton of the shot will be almost at
right angles TO the face OF the club
as 1t rests on the ground. That
lofts II at an acute angle. But the
wind resistance the ball encounters
ifrftsgirt shows ft-eradually. SO that
il drops at a much less acute angle
than IL had when leaving the turf.
Cnderpin now aids In preventing
It's be;nding forward. In other
words. this underspin tends To
make II bounce up and down.
