Shute Emphasizes Loose Wrists For Putts At LA Open
Denny Shute credits wrist freedom and a relaxed grip for his success in winning the $10,000 Los Angeles Open in 1930. He recalls a 450-yard par four hole where a loose wrist and a No.6 iron aided a long second shot to the green, followed by a four on the hole. He notes he has since adjusted his stance but maintains the core stroke fundamentals and advises players to grip loosely to allow wrists to act freely.
