I'm not really sure if this has to do with my golf swing or if my foot just randomly started hurting, but every time through impact as my right foot lifts off the ground (right handed golfer) I get this terrible strain in the top of my right foot, closer to the toes than the ankle. Has anyone experienced this before? Am I doing something wrong with that right foot?

Another place I'm having pain is on my right pinky finger (where I interlock with the left index). Right above where the fingers meet the palm is touching the grip and that's where I have a monster callus as well as some pain through impact on that spot. Almost like it's bruised. It probably is. Maybe it just needs to toughen up. The overlap grip isn't painful at all but my hands aren't nearly big enough to use that grip.

I know this is a long shot but I thought I'd check to see if anyone of you knew what was going on.

The foot just started hurting a couple days ago.

Notable career achievement: I have NEVER four-putt.

I was getting that with my left foot. Try to loosen the middle laces on your shoe, or get ones that are bigger through that part of your foot. The offending shoes for me were Keens - super comfortable and roomy in the toebox, but too small through the laces.

It's a really common hockey "injury". Loosen your skates . . . er . . .

I often take full swings without my shoes on. If I see something I want to work on (on the forum or what have you) i'll try it out right then and there.

I don't see how shoes on or off could make a difference though.

Perhaps I swung WAY too hard and tweaked it a little. I don't recall doing it, however.

What do you do for a living - I mean, do you sit at a desk? It could simply be an ergonomics or fitness issue. That was another issue for my feet, ankles, and achilles tendons.

Nope, I stand 90% of the time. This hasn't happened before and is bearable to play with, I just wanted to see if it was a common issue with those who swing too hard. I'm sure it'll subside. I just hope it isn't a product of my golf swing. Thanks for the help sean

Sometimes pain can be attributed to something as simple as Dehydration. Are you drinking plenty of water when on the course? I don't know if this is your particular issue, but cramping and other aches on the course have effected me due to that.

      Day 35 (6 Jan 26) - Got opportunity to play today, opted to mix it up - pulled Driver, 3w and 4h, keeping 7w, 5-Pw, 50 and 55 wedges and putter.  Played a set of tees up as well - goal: focus on the irons, especially the scoring clubs.  Had one of the sessions in a while (3 over 39 front, 6 over 42 back (a couple late round poor shot choices)).  Had a blast working a 10 club setup…

      Stryper Training Aids and US Import Tariff Increases

      By Stryper · Posted

      Hi all. I have sought permission from admin to post this here. First, here's a quick link to my products on TST, which a few of the mods have been road-testing...  Most of you would be aware of the import tariffs imposed on importers to the US circa September last year. Prior to their introduction, I was selling a decent number each week into the 'States. Since the tariffs came in - which added ~AU$60 to the total cost of getting them over there - sales have dropped to virtually nil. I think fear of the tariffs is the biggest part rather than the actual cost increase, despite me declaring everywhere on my site that we pay the tariffs and have successfully got every order into the US without any problems since. What is still unknown to most US consumers is that these tariffs will DOUBLE in February as Australia Post will no longer be allowed to offer "private" rates, they all change to "commercial". I do indeed think that this will make the products uncompetitive to ship there. So what's the backstory?  I'm a small Aussie business, not some corporate juggernaut. I invented these products - not a reseller for someone else. The import tariffs double in February, so add another ~15% to the total cost. If you want StanceMate alone I can do a super deal on a run-out model PREVIEW HERE (note you cannot purchase this yet. I think the shipped price will be about AU$110 inc Shipping (tariffs included). If you want to reduce the cost of the whole Stryper Plus Bundle I can swap the runout StanceMate to reduce the overall price by AU$60. These work EXACTLY as the newer version, just not as premium quality in the way the finish is achievbed in production) IMPORTANT: All import tariffs are PRE-PAID at my end, and clears customs no problem. I've sent a half dozen since October with every one delivered. NB: I'm not here to get into the politics of the decisions on tariffs, so let's not go down that road. It is what it is! So StanceMate to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - about US$70 Bundle to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - US$240 Bundle (with version 1 StanceMate) to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - US$200 Cheers Corbs
