Chocking down is so KEY have a go this weekend and let me know how you get on!
Anthony Kim said long time ago.. you choke down ONE INCH on any club especially your scoring irons will.take 10 yards off any shot… works for me…
have grip trouble because of difficulty with forefinger. any help
Great tip! I also do this on some of the longer clubs. Choking down on my 4 iron gives me a controlled shot to a 180yd par 3. Doing it on my 3 hybrid gives me accuracy off the tee or the 2nd shot when the fairways are tight..
I absolutely choke down as a rule. That way I spend less getting out of the way of the shaft. Generally choke down on the driver especially early and add shaft length if I have a fairway with room for a high honking fade.
Great tip from 80 or so yds in I have been missing left, I suspect this may help, thanks
Hi Alex, I guess to sum this on up is the fact that some tour pros actually shorten their drivers by an inch just for greater control and consistency. 👍😎🇦🇺
I've been playing golf for about two and a half years. I managed to work my way down to a 8.6 HCI. Chocking down was something I just naturally done since I've started playing. And my friends will always say how good I am from 100 meters in, yet they don't copy the way I "choke down" when they play their pitch shots 🤪
I play around the grip to add or reduce distance, but also instead of a full shot, I will take an extra club, choke down and swing easy. But ofcourse im driven to spin the golf ball and what ever i said, i will not do myself🤪
Grip finger tightness, a +1 handicapper told me he (he's RH) grip tighter with the LH pinky, ring finger and middle finger, then with his right hand he grips tightest with his thumb and index on all shots. He was taught at a young age to do this and has won many club championships and at many different clubs. I tried this and I did feel lots more control. I always had a firmer grip on the right hand ring finger and middle finger, and the index was loose and like a trigger. I'll be using his grip for a while as this seems to work for me.
Well done alex 👏 👍 more control when you choke down
Muchísimas gracias Alex por sus videos, llevo mucho tiempo viéndolos, tan solo una pregunta, sería posible ponerlos subtítulos en español? Nuevamente gracias.
This tip is amazing! Thanks for explaining it so clearly. Tried this out on my round at the weekend and made so much difference. Felt so much more in control and shot my lowest score ever. Broke 90 for the first time!
Great advice alex. Your methods with the approach shots has really helped my short game lately👏👏can you help me with something…. Im hitting driver straight about 1 in 5 shots. Now I have a terrible hook going on and don't know how to fix it. Please help🙏
I love practicing those low burners with the choke down especially with the wedges. I have a whole matrix of distances I hit different wedges with different clock positions, all the way down and choked down.
Everytime I choke down on the grip, i hit it thin… I prefer to control my distances shortening my swing based on the clock method.
👍tried this today Alex in a knock out match which I shouldn’t have done but worked brilliant. Shook his hand on the 12 hole get it in. Keep up the good work
In America we would call that choking up.
Mate, I'm in uk and been slicing for years on the range. only been on my 1st course last week and I was terrible as usual with teh driver. Couldn't figure it out. Then I got my whiteboard pens out (just now) only to realise that at 5.8 im at the bottom end of a Standard length……..so i drew a few examples. My Angle of attack requires more precision as i'm shorter. the taller you are the less the angle is and the less likely to slice…..So then I cam to YT to look for examples and …………….you're the 1st vid nd you literally Nailed it…..Can't wait to get back on the range to try it out. Subb'd!
Thank you for another clear & very helpful video.
great video, but what about if you don't have fitted clubs but are only 5ft 5 tall
I have long arms and short legs. Gripping down for me is essential, or i get very flat.
Assume someone is wearing out his/her glove out at the base of the heel pad and had “standard” grips on their clubs. Would the combination of choking down and switching to a thinner, undersized grips assist in getting your heel pad in the proper place on the golf club correctly? Do you think this combination (choking down, thinner grips) might also make it easier to get the lead wrist into the proper position for shaft lean at impact, reducing flipping action (adding loft) at impact?
It works. It works so well I think about getting fitted for shorter clubs.
Alex, just watched your video on choking down on the club. Ironically, just yesterday, and before watching your video, I played 18 holes at Meadowcreek course in Charlottesville VA. I went out at the start with yet another experiment in my swing "repertoire" to lower my score. I choked down on every club, except the putter, sorry to say. Because I shot a 75, from the white tees, 5,685 yards per the card. My average is 82.3 (last 20 rounds). My usual nemesis in scoring is hitting GIRs, or missing GIRs, to be more to the point. Well, I hit 14 of 18 greens yesterday. It was stunning, and couldn't believe what was happening, but it did. The only reason I had 6 bogies was due to 6 missed putts within 5 feet. A crushing downer with my putting, but happy to hit the goddamn greens for a change. I didn't think of choking up on the putter yesterday. too bad. Will do it next time.
