Mental strain causes more butts to be missed than any defect in physical mechanics. Most players become tense, tighten up, fail to stroke freely when confronted with the exacting requirements.
 Take a completely relaxed stance.
 Place the feet fairly close to- gether at right angles to the line of travel Bend the body forward at waist, with knees flexed to over come tension. Play the ball off the left foot, the left eye looking di- rectly down at it.
 Keep the blade close to the ground, at right angles to the cup with the shaft almost upright.

The left hand is not turned toward the right, but the back of it is toward the cup. The right hand should not be so much underneath the shaft handle as in other shots. The arms may be crooked at the elbows, stroking is done with the hands

 Crackshots came from all walks of life, range in age from tender teens to snappy seventies, boys and girls, men and women.
