Choke Up on Driver: Does It Really Help?

Choking up on the driver can really help with control! However, many golfers make the mistake of not adjusting their stance. It’s crucial to keep your feet aligned properly to maintain balance.

Great point! Another common error is gripping too tight. This can lead to tension and poor shots.

Practicing with a shorter club can also help you get used to choking up on the driver. It feels different, but it builds muscle memory!

Definitely! Try a lighter grip and focus on a smooth swing. This really helps to release the tension.

I often recommend a drill: place alignment sticks on the ground to help with your stance and ball position. It can make a huge difference when choking up!

That’s a fantastic drill! I’d add that consistent practice is key to breaking habits.

Absolutely! Keep practicing, and don’t be afraid to take it slow. Golf is a game of patience.

True! But I sometimes struggle with the patience part. Any funny stories about choking up gone wrong?

I once choked up so much I topped the ball completely! We all have our moments. Just part of the game, right?

Haha! That’s classic. But on a serious note, are there specific drills to avoid that?
