Ok hang with me on this one.  It might be difficult to explain.  In this recent two year slump from good golf that I am having, I have started to split my middle finger on my left hand from the way I am gripping the club.  I am left handed as my profile says.  It will literally split from almost the end of my finger to the base of my nail.  I can move my hands around, adjust the way I am holding the club, and yet it still will do it.  I can put less pressure, more pressure, take the finger off completely(NOT RECOMMENDED), change to a complete different grip all together, and yet still the split. Would this be a pressure problem or more along the lines of an entire grip problem?  This is really aggrivating me because no one can seem to tell me what I am doing, all of a sudden.

What grip do you all use?  What have you found to be the most effective way of setting your grip, tips and tricks of the trade?

When its breezy swing easy!!!!!

This was a problem I used to have, too. I used super glue for a few weeks, and haven't had a problem since. I was spending A LOT of time at the range when this happened, too. I felt like it was the weight of the club on the downswing pulling the skin on my right middle finger (right handed swing).

When I cut my nails too short I rip the edges down a long ways and it kills. I would cut tape the ends up to stop the ripping. Now I just try to leave my nails a little longer and use a good glove.

Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
