Ideal Swing Plane
BY SAM sNEAD

Colts Greatest Teacher and Player
/ like todays picture because
il shows so well the ideal plane
through which TO swing a club
This swing Is in as nearly a verti-
cal plane as a human being could

built in the middle must neces-
sarily use a fiatter swing.
The player who lacks distance
often compensates by using long
shafted clubs, which have the
club-head leading from the shaft
at a fiatter angel than normal
And. by using a club so designed
