There's three key elements that we might expect to see within our ball flight if we were to choke up on the club. The first one we've kind of mentioned this idea that will be short on the golf club. The club head is effectively going to be swinging slower therefore would expect to see a shorter distance. So the shorter you make the handle, the shorter the shot will fly out here on the practice range or on the golf course. Another area that we might start to see a different in our ball flight is actually the more we grip up on the club and we choke up on the club is we actually start to see a lower ball flight. That will happen because the swing is happening less club head speed is not going to launch as high, but also we tend find that the hands are a little bit quieter in this position, we don’t flip the club head underneath the ball because the club's not quite so long.

So we tend to sort of punch the ball in and hit the ball a bit lower. In fact if you deliberately want it to hit the ball lower gripping up on the golf club in this position would actually facilitate that slightly lower ball flight. One thing that’s detrimental to your game that could happen when you choke up on the golf club is there might be a tendency to pull the ball a little bit. So setting up pointing down my intended target line here, if I was to make a shorter grip on the club because you're feeling like the tempo might get a little bit quicker, the hands and arms could come down faster effectively overtaking the lower body that’s moving a bit slower and we could pull the ball down the left hand side.

So we've just got to make sure that when we do choke up on the golf club we still complete the back swing and we still swing within that normal rhythm at a normal tempo. So the lower ball flight, the slightly shorter golf shots and occasionally the pulled golf shots down the left hand side are all things we have to consider and watchful when we're choking up on the golf club.
