About this listen

 When we inject more power than we can control, we introduce a degree of leverage, but, when it creeps in near the end, that is just before impact, it may produce no appreciable damage, provided the stroke has started as a swing and this action has been maintained almost up to the instant of impact. Furthermore, whatever of leverage is introduced in the brief instant just preceding impact is restricted to pure hand and wrist action, and does not involve conflicting actions between body movement and arm movement, which are bound to follow the introduction of leverage in starting the stroke. That is to say, if a levering method of applying the power in wielding the club prevails in starting the stroke, the later cannot develop as a swing. On the other hand, if the action is a swing from its inception, the hands and arms will swing on through, maintaining the swinging characteristic as the dominant movement, even though some small degree of leverage develops through the hands and wrists just before and at impact.

ERNEST JONES, 1937

It is generally admitted that the professional golfer is far stronger in his intermediate strokes than the man who follows the game merely in the light of a pastime, and so I suppose it will continue. The reason, I think, is that the wrists of the amateur golfer are not so powerful as those of a professional. The latter is playing the game, day in and day out, very
nearly the whole year round, whereas business or social duties will not allow the amateur to participate in the sport to such an extent. Naturally his wrists and the muscles of his forearms are not exercised and used to such an extent, while it is an undeniable fact that the iron clubs call for a far greater measure of exertion on the part of this portion of a man's anatomy than the wooden clubs. With the driver, brassie, and putter there are many amateurs who are capable of holding their own with the average professional, but when called upon for an iron shot they lose ground. So it will continue to the end of all time, presupposing, of course, that the amateur does not apply himself to his task so strenuously as the paid player.

J. H. TAYLOR, 1911

And ask yourself:
"What am I doing with the upper palm of my left hand?"
