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.

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.
