Put Your Swing on Cruise Control

photo credit: danperry.com   The golf ball does not recognize what club you are using on any given shot.  The difference from one shot to another is all in your mind.  When hitting a long iron (two, three or four) many golfers think they have to swing harder to get the added distance.  Nothing could be farther from reality. 

Your swing should remain the same at all times whether you are using a driver or a loft wedge.  The only difference is the loft of the club and the shaft length.  Longer shafts automatically generate more clubhead speed.  Combine the longer shaft with a less lofted clubface and you will naturally receive more shot distance.

Always maintain the same swing tempo with every club and your handicap will drop dramatically.
