looks interesting ... I am working on my wrist collapsing at impact.

I purchased a smash bag today for this very issue.  This could be the think to help. Would like to hear if someone has tried this.

My son has one.  I saw him using it on the course many times.

He originally got it to help with his slice.  It seems to do the trick.  Now he's hitting a draw with occasional pulls.  I've also noticed that his short game got quite a bit better with it.  He used to chunk/blade a couple of shots a round but seldom does it now.

If you have any specific questions, I'd be glad to ask him for you.

Looks like the Sklz Smart Glove I bought when I first started out.

From my perspective it helped a lot to get my wrist in the correct "flat" position at impact although there was a certain amount of limitation with ulnar deviation as the solid part doesn't move. I did see a similar glove with a "joint" in the wrist to allow for ulnar deviation.

MiniBlueDragon,

When you said 'ulnar deviation', did you mean movements like hinge%20up.JPG and hinge%20down.JPG ?

If so, I know the glove with a "joint".  It's called "Dynamic Swing Glove".  I used to buy them for my son every other months except during the middle of the summer when it's too hot to wear them.  He wore them out at the thumb every time.  It's kind of expensive to have to buy five or six gloves a year at around $30 a pop

Now that he's supporting himself, he found a cheaper solution.  I guess when your are spending your own money, you pay attention to the costs a lot more.

Yep that's the movement. I can see from your pictures though that the wrist section on that glove slides across the back of the wrist. The problem with the Sklz one is that it's strapped to the wrist and can't move. As long as you have that movement I can't see a downside to the one he has other than making sure he only uses it occasionally to check that he has a flat wrist rather than relying on it to flatten his wrist for him. :)

Yes, it seemed kind of stupid to me too until I saw my son's improvements.  I used to give him strokes but this season we are even.  Maybe my age is catching up to me It's definitely cheap comparing to the Swing Glove or the Tour Striker.

My son doesn't wear it on every hole now that he's used to the feelings.  He puts it on only when his swing is shaky or when he's got a tough lie.

One thing I noticed when he let me try it on the putting green was that the feel of the putts were different.  It's like I've found a new and better sweet spot.  Every putt felt very solid and the ball came out hotter.

    • My handicap has dropped from 16 start of last year to 9.9-10.0 this year. I had monthly coaching last year - which did help a ton but I always had the feeling deep down they were just applying band aids and temporary fixes to keep me going. My handicap has probably dropped through a combination of those plasters and playing more over the last year rather than any sustainable improvement. Which kind of annoys me that I have somewhat wasted that money but at the same time - I did reach my goal. The more the year went on the more I realised that we weren't really addressing the key issues (which I think I have a good grasp on) - just throwing different feels and different positions around until something that worked temporarily for a month and rinse and repeat. There was even one session where I actively chased another feel just to tick me over an upcoming golf trip - the feel didn't work. I'm no longer getting coaching as it became unaffordable this year due to a severe price hike but truthfully I wasn't really fancying another year of band aids. I've probably exhausted most of the coaches in my area at this point over the last 5 years but it seems to me nobody wants to, or has been able to address the root problems. My main goal was always to get the handicap down to 9/10 range as I knew I was capable and hey I did it. I started this year off pretty hot scoring wise including a personal best round where my timing must have been impeccable as my ball striking was unreal that day. I am now trending in the wrong direction again because my ball striking is genuinely atrocious - it varies from heel to toe, from bottom groove to top groove.  I can manipulate shape by setting up super closed or super open but ask me to hit a straight golf ball it's never going to happen.  As I say, currently a bit of a crossroads with golf and I find myself asking where do I want to go with golf from here - do I want to continue to float around in the low 10's handicap just searching for feels that work for a month or so then begin to fall apart again? Or do I want to seriously explore addressing the root problems with my golf swing and ball striking to take me to that next level? My biggest issue is my ball striking. It's terrible, not to be harsh on myself as I can obviously move the ball around a golf course but until my ball striking seriously improves my scores are never going to drop. And I don't want band aids or temporary fixes - I want to know what is causing the poor ball striking, what is the root cause and what is just a symptom, is it fixable and if so what is that going to take in terms of effort, grind, money etc, am I even physically capable of making a proper golf swing and so on. Many questions which I will hopefully get the answers to. The more I had coaching last year the more I've had lessons over the years I've always had this lingering thought deep down that I don't turn/pivot properly in the backswing and that might be the root cause - but maybe I'm wrong of course.

    • In your experience what is the one counterintuitive thing about the golf swing that beginners usually cannot grasp without a professional's help?
