Need to Employ Left Side
Correctly in Making Golf
Swing Emphasized by Jones

straight back from the ball and
straight down again do not advo-
cate what Is known as the fiat swing,
hut do firmly and unalterably believe
that the club must be swung around
and that full body turn is necessary
to develop power. II the left arm is
kept close in, the body must turn to
accomplish anything like a full swing
Now. then. about the wrists. and par
,ticularly their relation to q straight
left arm, ebout which We have been
told so much. In the matter Of straight
left, find that 1t is advisable to tenn
per advice with a word of caution
There can be- no questioning Of the i'm
portance OF having a firm straight left
arm at the moment of impact. This
difficult thing is to maintain a straight
left without restricting the motion of
the left wrist. consider that It IL i'm
portant that the left arm be fully ex-
tended at the top Of the swing. but
equally important that It should not
be wooden.
Wrist Break Important.
IN my own case I have played so
long with a straight left that 1t is
now one Of the very few things I need
not worry nv head about-that is.
during the doVnswing. But the wrist
break at the top Of the swing-the
complement of the straight left arm
is very important in connection with
keeping the left straight during the act
OF hitting. This is something that do
nnd l nave to keep reminding myself
Of from time to time
This breaking of the wrists acts as q
KIND OF connecting link between the
upsWing and the downswing Further
more, this action stores up a lot Of
energy. and the consciousness on part
OF the player that this power is present
and ready at his command as the
stroke nesrs the instant Of striking en-
abl-s him to complete the stroke easily
and comfortably and with the aceus-
toned rhythm If, however-and
have experienced this many times-as
the clubhsad approaches the ball the
player realizes that the wrists have not
cooked a. they should have done, there
Is sudden irresistible impulse to at
tempt to make up for the loss by
sudden desperate dash at the ball AL
most always the effect of this last
minute rush is felt in the left arm as it
gives way to the overpowering right
l md that generous break of the
wrists at the top of the swing almost
assures me straight, powerful left
arm at impact. 1t is the wrists, there
lore, more than the arm that I think
soout. l am certain that 1t has been
thls one thing more so than any other
that has been responsible for improve

troubles prior to that were all trace

my my swing and softened the blow for
the snort pitches, my wrist failed 70
