T4LTN14-tIp 4 Wally's Golf Hints Editor's Note: Following is the ninth of a series of golf lessons written by Wally Chamberlain, professional at Glen- coe Golf course, and head of the North Shore Golf School, Winnetka, in which, from week to week, will be presented many helpful hints for those who are just taking up the game of golf, as well as those who have been playing for some time but admit the need for im- proving their game. Too much time cannot be spent in perfecting the wrist action during the swing. It is wrong to take the club up with your wrist stiff and it is still worse to bend or break them too much. If you let your wrists follow the club, instead of taking it up, the result will be much better. .The angle you have between your arms and the club- shaft when addressing the ball, should be much sharper at the. top of your swing. This difference is made by cocking the wrists back just before you reach the top of your swing. Or, in other words, when your arms have taken the club back as far as they should, your wrists tip back just a little more. This little tip back or cocking is very im- portant as it gives you a recoil that starts the club back in the same path it came up, and gives you a tremen- dous throw with no apparent exertion, just at the moment of impact. Perhaps I can make that more clear, if I say you tip your wrists back at the top of your swing and straighten them out just as you get to the ball. One of the easiest faults to get into is tipping your wrists too much, so you will have to be very careful not to overdo it. If you keep your wrists good and firm and swing back mod-- erately fast, the clubhead will nearly always pull your wrists back into the proper position. To check them and see if they are, address a ball in your usual manner, and tip the club straight up in front of you with your wrists until the clubshaft has reached a point half way between horizontal and ver- tical. In this position the angle be- tween your arms and the shaft and the cock of your wrists are just about what they should be at the top. Try to get them that way but don't forget the wrists should work last go- ing up and last coming down.
