The secret to using 14 clubs like 28: Grabbing the grip down
Let's start the story with an easy question. How many golf clubs can a player carry in an official game?
Kim Yong-joon, a professional columnist, will know the answer. You don't know? No way! The answer is 14. What if you get more than 14? You will get a penalty. Let's talk about the rules in more detail later. I'm not trying to deepen the rule talk today.
A rule limiting the number of golf clubs to 14 was made back in 1938. Didn't we limit the number of clubs until then? Yes, we did. There was no limit. So I carried a lot more. How many did I carry? It is said that I usually carried about 25.
Twenty-five! I can't even put all of them in a caddie bag I'm using these days. I can't help but ask why you carried so many things. It's to make more distance. Did you carry more clubs to brag about your wealth? You are a keen reader. There were many such golfers.
Twenty-five is normal, so the caddie must have been dying. At that time, it was not long after the steel shaft came out. The shaft was much heavier than now. As the number of clubs is large, there must have been a lot of cases where they shed somewhere on the course. It must have been a lot of delay in playing to find a club. It would have taken time to choose a club.
So in the end, we decided to limit the number of clubs. But why did we limit it to 14? Fifteen would be perfect. There was no specific reason. I just decided on fourteen. In those days when steel shafts first came out, it was normal to have Iron 1 to 9. You would have thought it was appropriate to add a putter and a few woods.
Was it enough for you to play a round with 14 clubs? There must have been times when you felt sorry for it. I wish I had another shorter wood. Was there a shame about an even longer hybrid club? What if you wished you could get another wedge in it? You must be a skilled golfer. You wish you could carry another screwdriver? One for fade and one for draw! You are a genius.
A true golfer would feel uncomfortable if he accidentally included another club. The same goes for a friendly round. He knows that he has to solve the game somehow with 14.
There are two main ways to make 14 to look like 28. One is to make your swing smaller. It is a way to shorten the close interval by swinging back less. The other is to practice a lot. The other is? It is called "Choke Down." In English, it is called "Choke Down." Chock down means tightening your neck, which is what Kim understands.
If you nod your head right away after being told to hold the grip down, you must be a golfer who is already quite skilled. You need considerable experience to reach a level where you naturally take the grip down in practice.
What is a grip-down grip specifically? It refers to holding and hitting the grip as short as a finger joint. It's a very easy skill. All you have to do is hold it slightly lower than usual. This alone can control the distance. Even if you make the same swing, the distance is less. In the experience of a lobster, it takes about five steps less. It's a story when hitting with an iron.
What about other clubs? It differs from club to club. A driver takes 10 steps less. Wedges are three to four steps apart. What if you hit a club by holding each finger down? The number of clubs doubles.
Hey, don't you think it's easy to hold the putter short? There are people who always try to nitpick when talking about something. You won't be a big reader. If you learn to hold the putter short, there's somewhere to use. It's time to calm you down and roll it gently on a severe downhill slope. In this case, you can hold it down more than a finger joint. It's not a grip, but to the point where you grab the iron part of the putter shaft.
The same goes for wedges. If you hold it short and figure out the distance when making a full swing, your score will definitely improve. If you have three wedges, you have six full swing distances. Even when taking a bunker shot, you can control the distance by choke down. Suppose you swing coolly in a bunker with a 56-degree wedge, you go about 15 steps. But what if you have 12 steps left? The answer is to hold down the grip. It is better to hold it short and swing as you always do. It is easy to make a mistake while trying to comfort.
Many players already know the secret to holding the iron short. Holding a longer club and hitting it short when the distance is ambiguous. This is much more accurate than swinging as hard as you can with a shorter club. I talked about why scientifically in the last column. It's a column titled Wisdom Learned in Alert, so please look it up.
Short grabs are very useful in wood as well. How nice would it be to be able to carry all three, five, or seven wood around? If there were any openings in the caddie bag. Hold the third wood for a short finger or two and swing it coolly to make it a fifth wood. Same goes for a kind of wood-in driver. What if you think you're going to make a mistake if you're coaxed and you're nervous about a 3-wood tee shot because you haven't practiced enough? Hold the driver short and make a full swing.
If you are a golfer who is constantly agonizing over the choice of a club, make sure to remember to hold it down before practicing. The same goes for those who regret that they do not have enough hybrid models by number.
