When it comes to general hitting, if you snap the shots off smoothly, es--1 pecialiy in the wind, you will be rewarded. If the ball seems to float over to one side, slap it off more into the imaginary pin or point. The rhythmic sharp hit is the one th.i’ keeps the line. A eLot is no good unless the clubhead hits agains’ the hall instead of shoeing against it. The two hands are fairly together at the ball The sweeping or ’he dragging stroke is related to the sloughing thtough shot and all three should be given a wide berth The hit should be a firm one. however, done cleanly and more with the clubbead. Keep poking the shots tn > the imaginary diiection line. I’’ you swing too hard, you will throw the citibhead over aim hit the ball on the toe.
