My fiancee was an avid golfer for quite a few years until we went snowboarding and she fractured her wrist which now prevents her from enjoying the game of golf. Basically, I am just wondering if anybody has a similar experience and can recommend a good wrist guard/support so she can swing a club without any pain?

Thanks,

Do you think its something like a brace that is used for bowling might help? Basically something that keeps your wrist from flexing.

Also, there is a golf glove (sorry, can't remember what it is called) that has a plastic insert that covers the back of the hand and extends down to the wrist and then there is a velcro wraparound at the wrist. I know they sell them at my local golf store.

I have ganglion cyst (its a cyst that occurs in your wrist) that I've had surgery on a couple times and basically I used something similar to a bowlers brace. It helped a lot but it might not take the pain totally away. Luckily for me it was pain that went away with time.

If I could get the name of that next time you are shopping that'd be great.

Thanks to everyone for the replies/advice so far.

No problem. The golf store is really close to me, I'll take a run there right now and post a bit later. I need to go get some golf balls anyway.

I used the Swing Glove once a couple of years ago, the bowling wrist strap will do a better job of maintaining a wrist position if that's the goal.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.

      Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
