Wind Play Tip

"When it's breezy swing easy."

How many golfers have heard this old stand by? Let's get
into just a little bit more detail about this. What will
swinging easy do for you when the wind is up?

For one thing it increases the chances of solid contact
creating a more penetrating ball flight. (Swinging harder
in an attempt to fight the wind makes it more likely you'll
make poor contact for various reasons: contracting the wrong
muscles in the wrong sequence, losing your center of balance,
increased grip tension, the list goes on...)

For another thing it compresses the ball less causing it to
spin less, which also creates a more penetrating ball flight.
Notice the theme. A solidly struck ball with a more penetrat-
ing trajectory is less affected by the wind. Swinging harder
when the wind is blowing is a powerful instinct to overcome.
But if you can discipline yourself to use more club and
swing easier (like all the textbooks and great players and
teachers have been recommending forever) it will have a
wonderful effect on your ability to control the ball in the
wind.
