Choking Up on Golf Clubs: Improve Control and Accuracy Like the Pros

Golf is a game where small adjustments can make a big difference. One such tweak that professional golfers often use is choking up on the club.

This simple maneuver can help players fine-tune their distances and improve accuracy without overhauling their entire swing.

Choking up involves gripping the club slightly lower on the handle, which can lead to more controlled shots and better contact with the ball.

While it’s a common technique among pros who know their yardages well, even regular players can benefit from understanding how and when to choke up.

This adjustment can be particularly useful when the ball is above your feet or when you need to make precise shots around the green.
