For a mild to medium breeze (5-15mph or so), I usually just swing 'wide and smooth' - really focus on extensor action and not 'speed'. More than other shots, back and through 'feel' the same tempo. Smooooooooth. For a heavy wind, a driver 'knock down' is fairly easy to do if you practice a bit. Either a 'stinger' shot, low hard fade or simply a 3/4 driver choked down about an inch, slightly back with a very low running draw. Driver 'punch shots' can be useful too, choke down a lot for those. Again - smooooooth tempo is the key in the wind. __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
