Mental Mondays: Swing Easy With An Extra Club
August 15, 2011
When in-between clubs, the sensible thing to do is to play the longer club and swing easy or choke up a bit. The alternative—swinging harder with a shorter club—just has too many downsides. Swinging harder will get you of rhythm, pull you off plane and make it more likely that you will top, chunk or otherwise mishit the ball.

Alternatively, you have my formula for when I am between clubs- take the shorter club, choke down, and slow the backswing. Seems like that would be a formula for failure, but I think it is because I am always trying to kill the ball, when I actually take my time and make sure I contact the ball well this way I can get 10-15 yards more.
I have tried to extend this through my entire game, and lately have been having a little success with that, but usually I get distracted like Dug in Up.

Great advice,
I have personally always gone the shorter club and tried to swing the golf club a bit harder. I guess it also depends on where or if there is trouble at the front or through the back of the green.
I do agree though, a smoother more controlled golf swing should always be the first thought in the golfers mind.
Cheers

In fact I think the results we are getting this series and last series prove we don’t need the dance off.
