The Way Of the Wakgle.

A 3 rule, when certain customs
~ or methods become fairly com.
~ mon there Is reason. Quite
ofte.- you hear golfers asking
why other golfers use the wAegle before
starting the back swing, the wAggle be-
ing q brief preliminary swinging back
and forth of the club head with hands
and wrists.
Ths reason is simple enough. It is
done t. release the stiffness and tension
Of the W. Is and to get the feel OF the
club head In Ray. It also helps to
loosen a:.y vice-like grip Of the hands,
which only too foten ties up the wrists.
TIE be no club head speed de-
veloped by arms and body. They figure,
of course, in the swing, but the greatest
impetus must come from hands and
wrists. Otherwise there will be more Of
pushing motion. II the hands and
wrists are locked, the arms and body
have little chance to keep the club
head swinging smoothly on It's way,
gathering speed on through the move
nhent Of impact.
It Is for this reason that Bobby Jones
says he considers the act Of cooking the
top Of the swing, to be one of the most
fundamentals Of any good
swing. It is here the act Of wagglinK
comes in. Too many golfers stand half
frozen oV- 3: the ball at address, as rigid
as posts, locking both hands and wrists,
killing of any feel OF hand and wrist
action. BY lightly waggling the club
had back and forth once or twice, illst
enough to get the feel Of the club head

A comparatively small number of
American shooters are interested in the
free rife game. The free rife does not
serve the practical purposes desired by
tn American shooter and the majority
Of most other countries. On it are used

no restriction on mechanical adjust
