INSIDE GOLF By George O'Ncil. How can golf clubx of equal length fit players of all manner of length, arm reach, etc.t Many players are puzzled about this and think they xhould have clubs of a particular length, per- hapx longer or xhorter than the THIS CLuB SEEMS To regulation. shaft. Some are xo eonvinced in their own minds about this that they cut off a few inches from different shafts, trylng to make the clubs fit them. Golf clab.mnkers have Invested * tens -of thousands of dollars in designing. and redesigning dMTer- ent club models, and it ix a safe asspmption that the standard lengths now in use are about the best that can be devised. 1 know that there are a great many golfers, however, who are ®0 bothered by this matter that thelr game ix more of lesw dis- turbed and upset. 1 later will disciss how the player adjusts Bimself tg the standard length (Goprright, Jobn F.

Unless | the fingers are long this grip would not bo advisable Uses the “\P Grip. the left hand on the club with formed by the thumb and first finger pointing to my right shoulder. I place the right hand on the club, grip- Ding the shaft with the first three fingers and permitting the little finger of the right to overlap the first finger lof the left. The left thumb nestles in the palm of the right a little to the Tight of the shaft. The right thumb is placed a little to the left of the shaft and the “V" formed thusly points also to_the right shoulder. 1 find this the most convenient grip and one where there fs a_slight chance of causing any blisters, Vardon's hands are just as soft in the palms as that of a person who has never played the i game. There are variations of this grip. Jock Hutchison, for instance, overl‘:;gll with two fingers of the right. Some Rolfers overlap, but do not piace the left thumb on the shaft. Gene Sarazen and Francis Ouimet use {what we call the interlocking grip. I don’t think that this would sult one golfer in a hundred, as it feels awk- ward; however, these boys grew up with it and it's second nature to them. Many good players use the two “V** &rip with the hands barely touching each other. This is the way most bovs in their youth learned to hold a base ball bat. Chick Evans is a mighty fine player and he holds the club this way. Jerry Travers uses much the same sort of a_ grip. 1 prefer the Vardon grip because T can do more with it. The hands are close together and almost a unit. It is easier to switch the hold on the club from one hand to the other this way. We start pushing the club back with the left and start bringing It |down with the right so this is ac- complished without much effort. Right Hand Determines. The right hand fs the master hand in golf and to obtain the full power with it I place the hand well behind the club, the knuckles pointing to the ground. ‘This enables me to hit with the side of the wrist or forearm in- stead of with the flat part. If one wlll stop to think he will recall that he uses a hammer this way to drive 1 nail. If one pounds his fist on a table he uses the side of the fist and not the back of the hand. My grip for putting is totally dif- ferent inasmuch as 1 reverse the or- der. I overlap the iittle finger of the right with the forefinger of the left. This puts the entire right hand and all the fingers on-the club. Some very good golfers drive this way and ob- | tain a very good ball. If one thinks it advisable to get more of the right hand into the shot this is the grip to use. If one starts with the right grip, a great deal of trouble will be elimi- nated in the beginning. It is not ad- visable to keep trying & srip that feels uncomfortable.
