"Everyone has his own choking level, a level at which he fails to play his normal golf. As you get more experienced, your choking level rises." |

 A good example is Jack Nicklaus, who played a 42.5-inch driver in his prime but now uses a 45-inch model. When he misses a drive today, it’s noticeably to the left — definitely not the power fade he used to play. Of 13 statistical examples I have evaluated, 70 percent of the golfers needed a shorter shaft in the range of a half-inch to 3 inches. Before changing shafts, experiment how shaft length can affect your shot by choking down on the grip. The result will likely be more consistent and solid contact with the ball.
