Choking the club for more accuracy

Hi with my woods and rescue wood i find that i choke my club a bit further down for more control and accuracy.

All i want to know is if choking down on the club is a bad habit,and do any of you guys do this.

Nothing worng with it, the shorter the club, the more accuracy, so if you choke dwon, you should gain a little bit of control.

It's quite ok. Any time you need more accuracy, you can grip down.

its ok untill you start to do it for every club then you may find you catch alot of balls thin

What does hitting a ball thin mean exactly.

It means you hit the ball above it's equator. The shot runs low and hot - and sometimes it's just as long or longer than a well struck shot.
