Usually players try to reduce put-

a mathematical stance. For exampis,

the right foot at right angle«. The
whole body is held rigid, including
the head. The arms are kept out of
the shot. Every part of (he body he -

take the club hack with mathematical
pteeiaion. Logieally one' is impressed
with these systems; they are su very
