Interesting phenomenon: I just got back from a week long Caribbean cruise, and played golf two days later...still with "sea-legs"' that constant rocking sensation even when on dry land. Needless to say, a TERRIBLE round, especially putting. Felt like the earth was rolling underneath my feet.

Anyone with a similar experience? Or with suggestions to speed up the recovery of my equilibrium?

I've had the rocking sensation, and I sometimes feel like i'm falling after I ride a roller coaster. I'm still suffering from the falling sensation even now, almost a year after the roller coaster. But I would wait it out, and not play golf until you feel well enough to.

Very normal. It takes 3-7 days to disappear.

Everything is harder after a cruise... especially the cooking and cleaning up after yourself.

It's mainly an equilibrium issue from the ship rolling on the water (as stated above) - I usually play one course as an excursion and I have trouble with spraying the ball because it doesn't seem like I'm still over the ball (I think I've only broken 80 once during cruise golf - however it was at the nicest course I've ever played (Puakea in Lihue, Hawaii)).

    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
