Hey everybody,
I was just wondering if you twirl or spin your club after you hit your shot. It's a funny habit like when I flick pens through my fingers. Just thought it was funny that I don't twirl the club but I've got this thing with the pens.

How many of you spin your clubs after a shot?

I don't do it too much after a shot, but I flip the putter in my hand just before I set up, because it "refreshes" the feel for me. This is a little move I picked up from my brother without realizing it, but have realized what it actually does for me since I've used it.
Damn you people, this is golf!

Damn Tiger.
Yes, I do after a shot that I really like.
But on a bad shot, I'm not watching long enough to do anything with my club except put it back in the bag.

Hey everybody,

I flip every club prior to addressing my shot. Not sure why but it's probably the same reason as lazebone. I think I picked it up while watching Kenny Perry at the practice range at Firestone some time back.

I do the club twirl between the fingers (like a baton) while waiting for my next shot. No, I was never a majorette.

I will sometimes do a little spin (not like a baton) after a good swing, sort of like Tiger does. I didn't learn it from him though... I've been doing it since before he came on the radar... maybe he picked it up from me????

I have no idea where I got the move from but I've been doing it for 25 years. For me it's just an unconscious reaction to a good shot.

No....it always struck me as a manufactured motion.

I'm a tad different, I suppose. I'll hit a flush shot and simply follow through and pick up my tee or repair divot immediately with the confident knowledge that the ball is on it's way to the best of my ability to stroke it. It'll land where it'll land.

On the other hand, I'll stare down a mishit or bad shot for two reasons: First to see where it ends up which saves time later on a ball hunt. Second is the ball flight may help me determine what went wrong with the swing so I can "fix" it in my mind and immediately swing a "repaired" practice stroke to anchor down what to do right.

Perhaps if the game ever got boring from hitting flushed shots every time I'd need to invent a "finishing" move like twirling a club. Until then I'll just stay the course.

Never do it. Ever. It's seems to be a way of acknowledging to yourself and others that you nutted a shot, when the results should be obvious enough.

But thats just me.

I do not twirl my club after a shot - it's just not natural for me to do so. However, like you with the pens, I have one thing I do about 100% of the time after holing a putt. I pull the ball out of the hole with my thumb and first 2 fingers, then toss the ball up a few inches so it spins and catch it in my palm - it's always the same. I think I started doing with when there was water in the hole so that when I put the ball into my pocket it wasn't quite as drenched with water. Now I find myself doing it all the time.

no twirl, either in the fingers (drumstick twirl) or in palm (Mickelson twirl that he does before every shot) or post shot (Tiger). I thought twirling was for baton girls, rhythmic gymnastics, and drummers......not golfers.

Now that I think about it, I have a long putter that I twirl once in a while (preshot to remove tension). I twirl in Indian Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark sword guy style (the one Harrison Ford responds to by shooting with his sidearm)

For guys like McIlroy and Tiger it's cool, they are good enough to sport such a motion. I do it once in a while if I hit a really good shot. Hopefully I'll be doing it alot this season. :P

I was at LSU's pitch and putt course and my first shot was a pin seeker that missed holing out by a foot. I twirled my wedge after that shot.

I do it when I hot a decent shot. I've seen it happen so many times that I picked it up subconsiously.

well, the reason I started this thread is that when I play racquet sports, I uncontrollably spin the racquet and twirl it when the ball is in play and yet, I still don't spin the club out when I finish my shots but I see some people doing it a lot. Just a small funny sense of irony.
