Can anyone point me to a back brace thread? I searched but couldn't find anything current and with many reviews.

Ive thrown my lower back out twice in the last 5 years, heavy lifting. For the first time i tweaked it really bad golfing yesterday. Im in good shape, strength train and do yoga twice a day. But I've been golfing A LOT this month and i think it took its toll. Averaging nine holes a day and always walking. 

Just wondering if anyone is getting positive results from a back brace and which ones they are using.

Thanks!

I thought @boogielicious might have used something at one time, can’t remember the name of it.

Right on. 

Also from searching I found this thread...

https://thesandtrap.com/forums/topic/8979-equipment-question-related-to-a-bad-back/

I might look into graphite shafts eventually, my clubs have always felt a little heavy for me, but I hit them hard and well so I haven't wanted to change. But I think in order to save my back I may have to get lighter clubs and swing easier. I don't know. Having a bad back sucks.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By M2R · Posted

      I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.
