From a pure teaching/mechanical standpoint you might be surprised at the answer, which is .....TWO.

How do we come to this position? Keeping it as simple as we can.

The two swings are:

1) The FULL SWING ...where we go from the bottom (address position) to the TOP of our comfortable range and back to the bottom where we make IMPACT. Solid , magical results always...RIGHT?

2) The LESS THAN FULL SWING...where we do not get to our comfortable top of the swing. This is an abbreviated swing and we use them often.

So TWO swings with fourteen or more clubs. This includes your putter which makes less than a full swing.

To ensure clarity, once our bag is calibrated (In other words, we know exactly how far each club goes), we should generally make all full swings until the yardage is shorter than our full swing pitching or sand wedge. From this distance in we then adjust with less than full swings.
