SNAP Putting snap into air-tight tennis balls by imprisoning nitrogen therein recalls some earlier experiments with golf clubs, says an American writer. Willie Dunn, the veteran, had a scheme for a hollow club shaft and head, half full of mercury and it wasn’t a cross with a thermometer either. People who knew Willie in the old days when he was the first American national open (unofficial) champion, refused to believe that he would ever deign to use water for anything. The idea was that the fluids would rush up into the head of the club on the down swing, imparting a tremendous wallop from the added weight. In the pre-war days we knew plenty of hollow golfers who used to fill up with liquids in somewhat the same way. Apparently, the weight was all in their feet, for they seemed to have divers’ shoes on when they tried to get set for their stance. There is no question, either, that the juice all flew up into their heads on the down swing. Ask dad!
