If I were swinging correctly, I probably wouldn't be posting this or requiring protection for my hand. But was wondering if anyone would care to suggest
a grip and/or glove especially suited for absorbing the shock in a swing. Lamkin
manufactures "StingFree Crossline Tour" just for this purpose. Has anyone tried it or would suggest another? Any gloves that absorb better than others?
Thanks.

No, because you should focus on hiting the ball solid. If you do you won't have a need for any of this. Don't spend money on THINGS that could take the shock away, spend your money on a LESSON that will take the shock away.

I'm not trying to come off wrong or like a dbag, but if you were properly striking the ball it wouldn't be an issue.

You're absolutely correct--no offense taken.
At the same time arthritis may not be an issue with you, but there are
times when it creeps up and you wish you had something that would lessen any impact.

my Dad has arthritis and uses Bionic Gloves. He wont use any other glove now.

Although Bionic gloves are expensive, I've heard it does the job in shock absorption. Most of the grips that advertise "stingfree" do their jobs. I tried one from Lamkin.

Ok, well, I didn't realize you had arthritis. I actually get it in my wrist usually once a month since I play everyday, but it must hurt pretty bad if your getting pain after each shot that you don't hit solid?

I would recommend Bionic gloves as well. Another thing you may consider (if money permits) is reshafting your irons to graphite shafts (if you don't have them already). My grandfather used graphite shafts in his irons after nearly giving up the game due to joint pain. He played 3 more years before buying the farm and never complained of pain at all from mis-hits.

Thank you all for your advice. I just ordered the Bionic Silver glove (illegal for tournament play--but just right for recreational play) and will get a few of my
clubs re-gripped with Lamkin stingfree. Point well taken on steel to graphite.

QUESTION: Would it be advisable to re-shaft wedges to graphite?
I've not seen them ever available in graphite probably for a good reason.

Thanks again.

Feedback from the golf club is very important. You wouldn't want to do anything that would minimize the feed back the club is giving you. Right now, the club is telling you that your ball-striking needs work. As you get better, you'll begin to appreciate the feedback you get from your clubs.

Maybe you should check with a Sports Medicine doc about things you can do to prevent this. It seems awfully expensive to reshaft and regrip your entire bag.

When you get older, compromise becomes a byword. I understand the feedback is very important when hitting the ball. I understand exercise and stretching are immensely important. I understand address and proper swing are key. Hey, but sometimes an accommodation is necessitated. We don't live in a perfect world. If I were twenty or thirty or forty again. . . .

I doupt that the glove would have much effect on the feedback you get from hitting the ball maybe just a comfort difference between leather and synthetic gloves.
I use titleist cord grips in my irons and my wedges, i dont think its a feel thing more of a comfort thing & i dont feel a big difference between the cords i have in my irons & wedges and the normal ones in my woods & hybrid, but then again theres a difference in feel between irons and woods... deeerrrr
I know that the grips used on scotty putters are made in a way that they give a better feel for the user and the odyssey grips are made specifically for the feel of odyssey putters, im not sure that they do the same thing for the rest of your clubs.
If they do it would be interesting to know what differences it makes... it may also change the feel depending how many papers you have under your grip... i use 4 for my right hand and 5 for my left (not a difference in hand size, just i feel more comfortable with that). If you had 2 papers im guessing it would be different.

    • Feeling a tiny bit more upright, more width, and a slightly faster tempo. Still not enough confidence to bring a square face set up to the course but will get there one day. Interestingly, it didn't take this long to bring the driver square set up to the course. Its is like rehabbing my ankle all over again. Slow, painful and wanting for patience. I guess this is how you fill this bucket - one spoonful at a time.
