| Well, for me, it starts with just plain hitting the ball solid. That old saying "swing easy when it's breezy", to me that means hit the center of face.
I have the ability to hit the ball a lot lower as well as hit a draw with that low shot, that helps. The adjustment I make is to keep more weight forward than usual, close my stance or at least square it up, shut the face just a little and feel like I'm really trapping the ball then extending the club head down the line, "chasing it down the line" is how I'd refer to it.
Wind is where IMO the GI equipment hurts. It's not as easy to control trajectory with clubs made to get the ball up in the air. Regardless though, hitting it solid is the key. I practice hitting 3/4 swing knockdown shots as I use them out of trouble on a normal day as well as windy days. Get a feel for how to move the ball around a little with a lower lofted club, from a shorter distance and playing in the wind actually becomes more fun than playing on a calm day.
