Cross Handed

[MiniMoe]

Yesterday, I played with a 70 yr old man that looked 55. On the second hole, I noticed he chipped a ball cross handed and thought to my self.." that's different". On the next tee I realized he played everything cross handed..... and he hit it goooood. He was only about 15-20 yards behind me in driving distance and his irons were about the same as mine. And he hit the ball very straight. I think he shot even or -1. I have never seen that before. I was impressed.

I have played in a tournament with a kid who played cross handed for every shot to, he also was a very good player.

I saw some highlights of something on sky sports and they went to one of those little stories and it was interviewing a guy who plays on the europro tour i think and he plays cross handed. I looks very difficult to play like that -what i want to know is how they came to learn to play golf that way: who told them to ect

There's a crosshander that plays on two of my leagues.....very awkward to watch and even harder to lose to....he's pretty solid though. Have a friend that swings cross handed as well....never lost to him.

Maybe were left handed but had to play with right handed clubs cause that's all they had when they started? Isn't Josh Broadaway cross-handed, i think that's why he's like that.

Does he do a waggle like Josh Broadaway? He waggles the club in front of the ball instead of behind it.

A cross-handed player would be cool to watch.

What do you mean by cross handed? Like when you're a righty, then your right hand is on the bottom and your left hand on top?

I believe its the opposite....like if your a righty, and your right hand is on the top.

For the two players that I know, both just naturally took to being cross handed out of comfort. I also used to play baseball with a kid that would swing a baseball bat cross handed.....and he went on to play major college ball and was in the minors for a while....albeit that was as a pitcher.

It's not cool to watch at all. Not for me anyway.

Yes....a righty would have their right hand on top.

I have a friend who plays cross handed. Never played a round with him just a range visit, and I thought it was super weird. I tried it just to goof around. Never again.
