About the same thing of swing goes bad. ‘This §s equal to saying that the golf | swing, heing a matter of exact move. ments, must be dominated by one con- trolling factor—poise. Or, in a plainer word, balance. The moment yon get out of halance your swing goes bad. Many players do not vet know w it 1s to make a swing with balance throughout. Balance refers here to the control of the body so that the ex- ertions flow one into the other until the exertion as a whole is finished. Because of the wrong mental pic- ture so many golfers get of the pivo they begin the back swing with the idea that the first thing is to begin twisting the entire body to the right. That s not pivoting. And turning the body that way leads immediately to the bad practice of starting the club with the body instead of with the hands. The hands lead, the body fol lows. In Figure 1 we see a player who has started back by twisting his body around. The club head, being only a few feet back from the ball, the body should sl be facing the ball, as in the address..
