One of the most pressing questions 2nd Swing experts receive is about when to choke down on the golf club, and what the effect is of gripping down on the club. In this video, 2nd Swing master fitter Thomas Campbell uses Trackman technology to put that to the test. After hitting shots with a driver, 7-iron, and wedge with a normal grip and a choke down grip, Campbell analyzes the data and makes recommendations on when to choke down on the golf club and when to avoid gripping down on the club.

Very imformative and ive been experementing with this lately . for me choking down helps with control on uphill and downhill lies otherwise gripping to the end of the shaft works beter

It would make sense then to grip down maybe less than you were for all regular iron shots. I have been considering this because the control of your shots will improve and it feels easier, not to mention control of the grip is better.

The “down” was extreme and most would move down about an 1” to 1½”. That would be a more realistic comparison and would add insight to whether a club should be that much shorter. My experience has been that 1-1½” has produced *higher* ball flight, more distance, with a little draw. Going to an extreme is useless. The only time yo grip down that much is for green side chipping.

What I found, is increased Swing Speed, more Consistency in strikes, and the same or more distance off the tee, the only two issues are, if my armpits come off my chest/body and reaching too far, I hit the ball very low, besides, What I had to change is playing the ball off my left toe, tee height and low point were a struggle at first, needed to be higher for me...that's me, no lost of distance if anything more distance and more control hitting the center of the clubface with Irons and Driver.

how about on my irons if i get them custom 1" longer and then grip down 1" as opposed to stand and to choke down at all

Since your a club maker or fitter I'd like to ask , if I am gripping a little to high high on yhe grip can it impede my grip because of the built in counterweight on every club at the very end . And would just adjusting my grip position affect the swing weight for me or lie angle etc , can half an inch or so create problems , inconsistencies or a poor grip if it's to high on the grip , is it possible that would make the club length to long from person to person

Needed to know by how much you shortened the driver; looked like you choked down 3-4 inches, maybe excessive compared to most of us.

It was to the bottom of the grip for this test. With the driver it may be a little excessive but I regularly choke down on all other clubs when needed - Thomas

How far down were you gripping down on the irons?

@Thomas Campbell okay, thanks.

With choking down the driver, why if you added loft to the club. Say 12.5 degrees of loft to the driver while choking down the club. This would be interesting

It would be an interesting test incorporating loft changes and either choking down or not - Thomas
