so lets say hypothetically, you lose an arm in an accident.  for the purposes of your golf game, which would you rather lose/keep and why?

i think i would rather lose the left one, i think i would do better playing with the right only.

I think I get the point of this thread.  I'm guessing you are polling to see if people are right hand hitters or left hand swingers.

I do drills all the time hitting balls with just my left arm and only lose about a club of distance and a bit of accuracy.  So I'd keep the left arm.

Driver:  Callaway Diablo Octane 9.5*
3W:  Callaway GBB II 12.5*, 5W:  Callaway Diablo 18* Neutral
3H:  Callaway Razr X, 4H:  Callaway Razr X
5-PW:  Callaway X Tour
GW:  Callaway X Tour 54*, SW:  Callaway X Tour 58*
Putter:  Callaway ITrax, Scotty Cameron Studio Design 2, Ping Anser 4

Really? None of you have ever thought, what if I was in a terrible accident and ended up losing an arm? I must be in the minority...

I think you are in the minority as well... the thought has never crossed my mind.

i got a question for you:   you and your parents are in a tragic accident.  for the purposes of playing golf, which parent would you rather lose and why?  i think i'd rather lose my dad, since my mom doesn't play golf and that way i can ride in the cart by myself.

Ha! See that's my kind of humor. I would probably say lose dad, he's not much for conversation...I told him once "I love you, dad" and he said "thanks"...lol...

Can I chop off the extra fingers on my hands instead?  Nobody sees the face growing out of my chest or the web toes, but those fingers freak everyone out.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
