Between Two Clubs

Problem

You cannot decide between two clubs.

Cure

For a high handicap player, you will want to use the longer club, choke down on the grip, and take a full swing. Try a knockdown shot if you are a low handicap player.

Therapy

Place the ball back in your stance a little. Use the longer club and choke down on the grip as the higher handicap player would. However, take a shallower swing for the knockdown shot. Do not take a full finish. This is because you want to keep the club and the ball low to the ground. To help you keep the clubhead low after impact, focus on extending your arms as you would do with your driver. This shot can be harder than it seems; so, remember to practice it before playing it on the course.
