Hey guys, i would appreciate any advice that you could offer.

I was in a nasty fire 3 years ago. I sustained 3rd degree burns to 25% of my body requiring extensive skin grafting. My hands got it bad, but at least i got to keep them :)

The last time i played golf was the week before my fire. My doctor has finally given me the OK to start playing golf again and now i need to find a set of clubs that are more compatible with my current situation. I know i need to find a set of clubs that are a minimum A.) Graphite  and B.) Very Forgiving. I also intended to get some big soft grips and also the bionic gloves look amazing.

I tried out the new Ping G20 and Adams V3 and both were actually pretty amazing. I would appreciate any other ideas or recommendations.

Thanks,

Ben

Winnlite Dry-Tac grips are the softest I have found, going a bit oversize allows me to grip them lighter. (I have lost finger dexterity due to nerve damage.)

Maybe have a look at those JumboMax grips. They are huge and may relieve some of the creasing in the hands, which I imagine is not too comfortable if you have sensitive burn damaged hands.

Good luck.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I would recommend contacting either Winn Grips or Golf Pride and ask them.  They would most likely understand your issue and give you a recommendation.

Best of luck.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
