I have three partially torn tendons in my rotator cuff. Everything I have read on the internet warns against getting a cortisone shot directly into a torn tendon as it could damage the tendon and cause it to detach from the bone. I'm tired of golfing in pain but I get by and, obviously, don't...
I have had such success punching my shots from within 50 yards, using my GW and SW (depending on the distance), that I have recently expanded that success to punching my shots from 100 yards using my PW. I have never hit my irons well, so I find it much easier placing the ball outside my right...
I have three partial tendon tears in my left rotator cuff, none of the three are detached from the bone so surgery is not required. Still, I'm golfing in quite some pain and am looking to find a stance and swing that would be more 'shoulder friendly'.
Open or closed, wide or narrow golf...
I've had so much success opening up my stance & playing the ball back in my stance with my short irons, I recently did the same with my driver, woods & hybrids with an equal amount of success. Has anyone else here gone to an open stance with the ball in back of stance with all his/her clubs?
I've been trying to find a golf swing that can help take the pressure off my torn left shoulder rotator cuff (lefthanded, but right-handed golfer), but thusfar to no avail. Anyone here with the same injury that has found a golf swing/stance, open vs closed, ball position forward vs back, that...
I have recently found that it is easier for me to 'trap' the ball at impact with a slightly closed stance and keeping my weight more on my lead leg (left) during my entire swing. The slightly closed stance also allows me to have a more inside/out swing as opposed to my dreaded over the top...
I know this is totally contrary to all swing instruction, but since I started putting the ball further back in my stance and increased my forward press over my left leg I immediately started hitting more consistent shots with all of my clubs. And, as an added bonus, I also gained yardage due to...
I play with an exaggerated wide and square to the target stance and am just not getting much rotation nor distance as of late. I was considering trying a more narrow, closed stance to, hopefully, allow me to get better rotation and draw the ball for better distance.
Anyone here play with both...
From tee to 125 yards, no problem, and from 75 yards to green, no problem. However, somewhere between those 50 yards (125 yards/75 yards) I enter the "Twilight Zone". I've been thinking of discarding my 8 & 9 irons (I don't hit them far) and buying a 42 degree hybrid, say from Thomas Golf, and...
I've been really struggling with my Odyssey 2 ball lately and have decided to dust off my old Ping Zing. I've been putting in the basement with it the last day or two and I have to say, after years with my Odyssey, putting with the Zing feels like I'm hitting the ball with a brick. Still, I'm...
Can anyone here recommend a thin back support that really supports the lower back? I have spinal stenosis and need extra lower back support when I golf, but want to be able to wear the brace under my golf shirt so not to be noticeable. Thanks!
I struggle with a bad back (spinal stenosis) and am considering getting a 10 inch extension put on my Odyssey two ball and try side saddle putting to relieve the pressure on my lower back. Has anyone here been in this position and tried to make the same adjustment? Thanks!
Got to play with my new Epic Max Driver, set it up with extreme Draw bias, and absolutely loved it! Loved my BB Fusion, as well, but the Epic Max is much, much lighter. Now I'm thinking of upgrading my fairway woods from Fusion to Epic Max. Has anyone played the new Epic Max fairway woods yet?
It seems everyone I know lately has a new driver. My BB Fusion is now 5 years old and I have been eyeing the new Callaway Epic Max. Just not willing to pull the trigger because of the price and, maybe more importantly, because I still love my BB Fusion.
Anyone else here play the Fusion and...
