Hello sir, its been a long time since the last time u answered my questions.

When i go to tournaments, i see some players playing a long stroke and some playing short stroke.....

Which will suit me best? and what factors does it count for the type of stroke i play? Which is the more advisable stroke..short or long?

Hi Earl,

The more time you have, the longer your stroke can be.  If you don’t have time, shorten your stroke.  However, always try to stay at the same swing path.
