But this is a wrong choice, do not let that get in the habit.

What kind of swing the greens is the best? The fact is that you want to swing slow down. Why? Improve swing speed will increase the back spin of the ball, the result is leading to the ball flight path high. Windy conditions, if the flight path of the ball high, it would be difficult to predict its impact point will be where.
