Sore hands?

[No1CeltsFan]

I was wondering if any of you have ever experienced sore hands, particularly when you first started playing or maybe at the beginning of each season?

My hands are sore, almost like a tight pain. Both pinky fingers are very sore, especially around the knucle on the finger (the middle knuckle). I'm not sure if they are like any other muscle when you first start using it, like say when you lift weights your muscles get sore at first, or if it is something else.

I really cant think of anything else it could be related too. Ive been going to the range like 4-5 times a week lately and since Ive been going that much they started to hurt me.

If anyone has ever had this and no A) why it happens or B) what I can do to help the pain that would be great.

You could be gripping too tight. What type of grip do you use?

I used to have this same problem. I switched to an oversized grip and the pain in my knuckles have gone away. I've been very happy with the new grips... Just a thought

Just started, its typical. My hands get sore when i first hit the range all year, but then your hands get use to them. What happens is that the golf club will rub in your hands, it just does. but it shouldn't be so much to cause blisters. But this friction will harden your hands a bit. Just like if you walk barefoot for a while your feat will develop hardened pads on them, its to protect the feat. Don't worry your hands wont turn rock hard, but they do adapt to swinging the golf club. If you do develop blisters, look into getting new grips on the golf club, or lightening the golf grip.
