I get a sore left wrist and even a sore left hand. I don't think I'm gripping too tight, and think this pain may come from trying to control the club after the impact.

Anyone else get this problem?

Personally i don't have th same problem as you. Do you have a wristy swing beacuse that might be the cause of your problem.

Just a thought.

I know how you feel. I also started a couple of months ago. Are you swinging too hard? You're only supposed to swing at 70%-80% of your full power. I have a lesson Friday and will ask about wrist pain.

Hopefully someone else who's dealt with this will post some advice.

I fractured my wrist 9 years ago and yes it bothers me during my rounds sometimes but it actually improves my impact position. It is amazing the power and control I get with a sore wrist.

If you hit down on the ball, as you should with most clubs, you may experience some pain especially in the colder months. I was plagued with tendonitis for a couple of years. I played guitar, bass and upright bass for 20 years and that didn't help. I eventually went to graphite to help, which it did. And FYI Aleve is an OTC Godsend for joint pain. Over time my problems subsided. But when I was ready to go back to steel shafts it kinda started back up sporatically. Anyway, long story short, ditching stiff shafts (which were too stiff for me anyway) made a huge difference. In a regular flex I have a softer impact feel, but that is specefic to my swing speed.

So in short:

It's not uncommon. Try Aleve to ease the pain. If it continues consider another shaft setup - graphite, another flex or one of the shafts with inserts. Also consider softer grips that are targeted to the arthritis crowd. This too shall pass. And if it doesn't, see a doctor and/or a swing coach.

Good Luck!

I get sore wrists from time to time. If I am digging deep on my iron shots it usually means my wrists are going to hurt later on. So if your making alot of sod then you will probably suffer the same effect. You can try to shallow out your swing and reduce the turf or take some Ibruprofren.

I don't really get wrist pain, occasionally I get forearm pain, but the worst is my left knee. At times it hurts to stand up or walk to my ball.

I broke my left wrist 2 years ago hitting a shot, but since it healed I don't have any pain from it. I even finished the round after I broke it.... hurt like hell, but didn't know it was broken until I saw the doctor 2 days later. I broke it on the 4th hole... still shot 84.... makes no sense at all.

Never had any wrist pain other than that.

Right handed and my left wrist can really hurt during some rounds.

The pain is a lot better if I stretch my wrist very well prior to playing. This is eaisly done by taking a long club and grounding it...grip with left hand only and moving only your wrist....raise the club upwards fully and slowly....keep repeating this and you're wrist will stretch and warm up prior to having to be taxed with impact.

There's always advil liquigels in my bag if things get tough.

Most of my pain was resultant from a full 4 iron shot I made back in June. I went full out on the shot...my ball was in some light rough and I dug down after it. The club hit the ball and stopped almost immediatley after as the ball was resting on some long rooted weed. That impact hurt an extreme amount and I finished out my round in pain.

It has bothered me since.

I have knee pain issues and for me the solution is to bend the knees slightly. If you stand knees locked straight, that puts strain on the knees. Bending the knees puts the stress on the leg muscles where it belongs.

I do bend my knees but I kind of squat and put a lot of force on my left knee on the way back up.

Hi, I started experiencing some wrist pain about a month ago, the pain co-incided with a push slice. After a little bit of work the problem seems to be because I am trying to steer the club through impact with the left wrist fighting the right wrist. Last week on the range and course I have just worked on making them work together and much reduced but not eliminated the pain in my left wrist.

I was having wrist problems a few months ago after a few days at the range and wondered if the steel-shafted irons I had were putting too much strain on my wrists. I switched to graphite-shafted irons and the problem seems to have diminished, though I'm not practicing as much as I was.

I also have to wonder if the use of hitting mats for my irons was contributing to wrist strain. I'll need to look further around here for a range that has grass instead of mats.

2011 Goals:
* Improve club-head speed to 90 mph with the driver
* Ensure increased speed does not compromise accuracy
* Prevent overextending on the back-swing (left-arm is bending too much at the top)
* Relax arms initially at address ( too tense)* Play more full rounds (failed from 2010)

I actually developed a click in my left wrist, closest to my thumb. It hurts a bunch when it flares up but only shows up after I keep playing too often. The problem arises when I cock my wrists back for lag so I can whip my club through. Once this gets started, it happens every time I load the shaft on my backswing and distracts me to the point where I break form and get an unexplainable, inconsistent kink in my shot (pick my head up, change my body position, stop looking at the ball, so on and so on). Has anyone else developed a click or a pop?

My left wrists hurts pretty much all the time now. It has been like this for probably 2 months straight. Not like real bad, and after warming up the pain pretty much dissapears. I can't really lift anything over like 10 pounds with it though. I don't want to go to the doctor because I'm 90% sure he is going to say just rest it for a few weeks. I have rested it for about a week and a half and it isn't getting any better. Psshh not playing golf for me in that long is like torture. I know the best thing is to go to the doctor and get an x-ray just to make sure, but I don't think it is anything that major

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.

      I have nothing to add other than I freaking love her swing and I think she's hot as hell and some of my golfing buddies disagree so I fought them

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.
