To actually get back on subject, I can understand why AK likes to choke up on his clubs. I tend to do it myself, maybe I sacrifice a little distance but it just feels more comfortable gripping the clubs near the bottom of the grip than out toward the end, probably choke down an inch or more. I didnt even realize I did it until I watched AK do it on tv and then I started noticing my own grip more.

I wouldn't do it if you are trying to improve. I think it's a bad habit.

Ha, remember this is the guy who keeps correcting me in one thread saying that you need to swing a lot harder at the longer clubs, especially the long irons!

Yeah, that's good advice. Make sure to hit up on your long irons too, and be sure to use your arms, not your core.

A lot of people like the feel of gripping down because it changes the swingweight a bit. Anyone who plays the drums knows that when you want to have more power, you grab the butt end of the stick, but if you want control, you grab it at the balance point. When you grip down, you are closer to the balance point, therefore the club feels a bit lighter.

No, it's not at all. In fact, it's probably a good habit. If more people gripped down, you'd see less balls in the woods.


you'd see less balls in the woods.

I don't usually see any...i wait till they're done, then i go take a piss

The subject has nothing at all to do with Kim "choking up" on his clubs.

The original post was an inane post by a fool who knows nothing about golf asking how Kim swing with clubs "so" short, when they aren't short at all.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

    • It's from "Every Shot Has a Purpose" which was co-written by one of Annika's coaches. Decent read about reducing uncertainty and committing to the golf shot.
    • Ah, I didn't realize this was about standing over the ball versus time to play the shot. Definitely two different things there. Yea I would imagine being static over the ball/taking a long time over the ball does make things worse in the long run, hence all the waggles guys will do before pulling the trigger.
    • I'm not sure who said it first but I've seen it a lot. There's this "think box" vs "play box" theory. I've also seen it with a planning vs doing line on the ground. The idea is basically you stand away from the ball (a couple feet) and do your "think box". This is where you do your planning, your swing cues, your practice swings (if you believe in practice swings.) All of that is done in the "Think Box". Then you step into your "play box" address the ball and hit it. Sometimes it's done with a imaginary line on the ground. You do all of the think box stuff behind the line. Then once you cross the line you step up and hit it.  Here's Annika Sorenstam demonstrating the "Think box" and "Play box": So, Annika's time over the ball is really short. Because she did all of that other stuff not over the ball, but in her "Think box".  There are lots of variations on this theme. But I think you get the idea. 
    • I speak for myself. If I inventory my swing thoughts, swing tempo, optimum muscle tension and rehearse a swing before I take my address, then I pull the trigger reasonably quickly with usually acceptable results. Like a proper program download before deploying it. If I don't bother to by forgetting or just not caring, I am inclined to look for my cues while hovering over the ball after taking the address, while tension builds up and then I fire with a half ass program that is still buffering. I guess that's no better than rolling a dice. In other words, a good pre-shot routine does wonders. I am not advising folks to take 13 practice swings while the flowers wilt waiting for something to happen, but one or maybe two are reasonable and good for you. I am certain hitting half ass shitty shots and making double bogey takes longer than making a par.  My desire this year is to just that as I have not developed a habit taking a practice swing and as a result have tendency to freeze over the ball after address, that is counter productive for both time and result. I think that is what @saevel25 is talking about in the OP.
