Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - You keep losing to people who cannot hit the ball hard.Their drives are slower than yours. Their drops are no better. They win anyway, and they win the same way every time, which is by hitting the right ball to the right person from the right place.That is a decision, and a decision can be copied.This is a decision book. It teaches no stroke. There are no grips here, no swing paths, no contact points and no diagrams. The mechanics are free to watch anywhere, filmed better than prose can manage.What is here instead: the four states you can be in after the third ball and the default for each one, the middle-ball ladder that ends the argument about whose it was, the four conditions a speed-up has to meet, where a reset lands and what to do with your feet afterwards, how to read a stacked pair in the first four points, the one lob you should never hit, how the score changes which ball is correct, and a ten week calendar for practising decisions rather than shots.It also says plainly who it cannot help. A player who cannot yet make contact on a soft ball needs a coach and a wall, not a book, and that is on page six rather than page ninety.For a club player stuck between 3.0 and 4.0 who already owns the shots.No stroke instruction. No fitness, injury or medical content. Ratings used loosely, and none issued.…

The final 8 pp. are a publisher's catalogue. Thomas Burgeland Johnson (c. 1778-1840) published a number of illustrated sporting books in the first decades of the 19th century. His attempt to break into the emerging and now highly competitive world of sporting journalism, with the launch of "The Sportsman's Cabinet, and Town and Country Magazine" in 1832, failed however. Here he is using the pseudonym of "B. Thomas". He also wrote under the name of "T. H. Needham".…
