ok right handed golfer- 20 handcap-typically reliable driver...i had 3 torn ligaments in my shoulder, had 2 ligaments screwed into my arm bone and my shoulder cap scraped. shoulder has lost alot of flexability. now 3 months out of surgery, im back on the course trying to gather my game together. my short game is coming along. the problem is my driving- distance is there, drive starts straight then takes a wild dogleg right, every drive. i feel like im having to relearn the drive with my lost movement. help help?

This almost sounds like my same surgery. Is it in your right or left shoulder? I'm a righty with the right shoulder done. What the loss of flexibility has done to me is make it very easy to chicken wing it. The chicken wing will cause an outside-in (your fade) or a snap hook.

Had a similar surgury in october, be patient once you get your strength back in your arms you'll be fine. I'm a righty and had my right shoulder done still not a hundred percent but alot better. dont forget your stretches and make sur to warm that shoulder up good before you make any swings

    • Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well. 
    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands
