Wind Play Tip

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.
