Download : "The upper arm muscles, that is, those about the shoulders swing the arms and the HANDLE end of the club while the muscles of the forearms operating the hands through the wrists swing the club HEAD. The muscles of the forearms must also control the direction in which the club faces... During this attack on the ball, I have always felt that there is a point which varies in every player, where the left shoulder checks momentarily to allow the "levering" which exists in a swing to take place. It is not correct to sweep "the whole lot" through." The DUNNS of Musselburgh Scotland, 1897, 1907, 1922, 1930, 1934

Download : "It is all very well to say 'sweep the ball away'. But no golf ball was ever sent a long way without some sort of resistance creeping into the swing - without hitting past the body and allowing the clubhead to overtake the hands..." and, "Now what sort of resistance can be found? I have played with the maximum amount of hands and arms in my swing all my life, ..."

The left hand resists the hit of the right Henry Cotton Open Champion 1934 1937 and 1948

Download : "The important lesson to be learnt from this is that any interference with the free hinging action of the hands in the impact region must reduce the 'whip-past' speed and therefore reduce what contributes half of the resultant speed. This shows how futile is the idea sometimes put forward that there should be some slowing down of the left hand to allow the right to 'hit against it'."

This is produced by the right hand striking forward while the left hand resists backward." 'Original Golf Fundamental 5. STRIKE WITH SQUARE IMPACT:'' 'Original Golf Fundamental 9.

Download : "Here is the greatest mistake of all in golfing theory... It is not correct to sweep "the whole lot" through." and, "...he will use 85 per cent. wrists and 15 per cent. arms and shoulders to produce his maximum impact speed... one of America's foremost instructors, gives the same figures in his estimate of the way the power is applied... implies effort, will power and resistance, for the golf-club is more or less a lever and the left hand resists the hit of the right hand." Henry Cotton Open Champion 1934, 1937 and 1948 The British Newspaper Archive 'Facts and Ideas', Sport & Country, 24.1.51

THE LEFT HAND RESISTS THE HIT OF THE RIGHT HAND HENRY COTTON 1951

"It has been said that the power which drives a golf ball is centrifugal force. It is not centrifugal force. A golf club is a lever. The force which drives the levers comes from the right side of the player's body and is delivered to the club thru the player's right hand. A short swing composed chiefly of wrist action produces a snap, while a long swinging arm action produces a sweep. If the wrists be strong, the player can get more distance out of a wrist snap hit than is possible from a long sweeping arm swing. So, make quite sure of getting 100% action out of the wrists." Original Golf Fundamentals, Dunns of Musselburgh, Scotland

Download : "The power is therefore applied between the fulcrum and the weight. If we want to relate this movement to the law of leverage, then the power arm is the bit of the forearm between the elbow and the point where the working muscles attach to the forearm, and the weight arm is the whole forearm from elbow to cup."

First published 1980 by John Murray (Publishers) Ltd 50 Albermarle Street, London W1X 4BD, page 24.

Download : "And the crucial point is the position of the left wrist at impact. The left wrist should remain firm, with the back of the hand facing the target. and the palm facing to the rear, just as it does in the address position. That firm left wrist is the recipe for consistency. Let the lesson be - the left wrist must still be in the address position at impact."

"Just before the moment of impact, the right hand and right arm begin to take charge of the swing and the wrists uncock. One great principle is that the fingers, wrists and forearm supply the motive power necessary to propel the ball. It must also be remembered that great physical strength is not necessary. Any power applied by the shoulder is wasted effort. Firmness of finger-grip, and firmness of the wrists and forearms are necessary to prevent looseness of hitting. It is the left-hand wrist and forearm that guide the direction, and the left side braced against a straight left leg as the ball is hit." Craig Wood

"The unwinding continues greatly aided by the shifting of the weight to the braced stiff left leg, and by the hard pulling of the left arm on the club handle. Then, without detailing, the wrist action levers away the balls by the right climbing over the left with what might be termed a scissors action and the pivot continues until the right shoulder is around in the line with the ball as the left was on the up swing." Jack Gordon

Download : "THERE has always been controversy between golfers on the subject of the controlling hand in the shot. The left hand or the right? Opinion is sharply divided and the question, "is golf a right hand or a left hand game?" - is always cropping up at the 19th." 'THE GOLF I TEACH' THE GOLF SWING HOW TO HIT THE BALL ERNEST R. WHITCOMBE

THE NO. 2 SECRET OF GOOD GOLF The majority of players who fail in transmission of power do so because their left hand fails to act as fulcrum for the right hand to strike against. The leftthand must bear back against the right. DUNNS OF Musselburgh, Scotland

The downswing must be smooth and unhurried. The clubhead is swept through the ball by power generated on the downswing. Don't let your head lift up too early on the followthrough." and PITCHING "Keep your left wrist firm and focus on striking the back of the ball."

Right Hand Hitting Past The Left Henry Cotton 1947

Download : "DEFINITION 1 Release of the club head occurs when your right forearm begins to cross over your left forearm at the moment of impact. When this happens, the club head is actually turning in unison with your arms and hands. This releasing of the club head ensures a straight and powerful shot." 'KISS' GUIDE TO PLAYING GOLF STEVE DUNO Keep It Simple Series A Dorling Kindersley Book First published in 2000 by Dorling Kindersley Limited A Penguin Company Text copyright © 2000 Steve Duno PART TWO Learning the Fundamentals CHAPTER 10 Swing Basics Page 157 Step 5: Releasing the club at impact

Download : "You'll note that we have not yet used the word "release" in this chapter on hand motion. In the golf swing, release means the rotation of the hands, wrists and forearms from their position on the backswing, back to a square position at impact, to their position on the follow-through. Some books spend a great deal of time talking about release. The fact is, if you study and master the hand movements in these diagrams with the drills we' ve given you, you shouldn't have to worry about release. Release will occur naturally when your hands and forearms are working in tandem." 'How to Feel a Real Golf Swing' Impact CHAPTER THREE FEELING YOUR HANDS "Release" The modern classic!
