With how early it is in our season there is no reason to rush it. Heck it looks like it's going to rain for the next 5 days. Just make sure your ready for the Newport event and Erin. Patience is a virtue

It has been a long time coming but I made my first real swings today in a very long time.  I only hit about 30 balls, but it felt great.  The wrist has some very slight soreness but overall it felt ve

4 weeks after the injury and I can finally putt and chip the ball a little bit. I can do some slow motion mirror work as well. It feels great just to be able to hold a club again. Still no where near being able to make even a partial swing yet. Probably another two weeks before I even try slow little punch type real swings.

They recommend any 'rehab'?

That wrist needs to be healed come fall.....

It is a good thing that I have a new "Mission by Mathews" crossbow then.

Which one did you get? http://missionarchery.com/crossbows/

They all look pretty cool, but just be careful of this one .

That is old and was only with the first generation model.  If it ever really was an issue it has been corrected for a while now.

I agree, I'm sure that it wasn't a serious issue that couldn't be easily fixed.

They make some pretty fast crossbows. 400+fps? I wonder if PSE is feeling just a little insecure about Mathews? ;-)

Its a bad sign when the My Swing thread becomes a My Crossbow thread. Get well quickly Cipher, bring back the golf ;)

Not happening anytime soon really.  Tried to make some partial slow motion swings the other day and my ECU tendon popped out again to my delight.  Back to not even really being able to hold a club until it calms down.  I am making a trip back to the doctor's office on Thursday to give him one more shot at figuring this out.

Your breaking my heart bud. I'm sorry to hear that. At this point I'd maybe see if you can talk to a specialist for another opinion. Keep us posted. If you need anything let me know.

I know we talked last night, but keep the chin up. I've read a lot that says you can recover. I still think surgery may be an option, particularly since you want to play golf (the golf swing likely exacerbates things a bit with the ECU). Otherwise, that double wrist strap thingy looks like it could work pretty well. Or, again, a staple gun and a candle. ;-)

Fingers crossed for good news on Thursday.

Thanks Jake, will do.

Trying, it is a good thing I have some huge projects going on to keep my mind distracted at work.

:-) I probably will get one of those wrist strap things.  I will post what I find out later Thursday.

You're still young, and will bounce back. No matter how you feel now, you'll get better!

Like everyone else stated already, stay positive. You're one of the bright lights on this forum for me to reach out to. . .

      Day 85 - 2024-12-24 Practiced for 90 minutes (which probably means I hit about 60 golf balls). No launch monitor, but plenty of aids and feedback.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By GolfLug ·

      So got fitted in a 35" Odyssey Microhinge Double wide 'blade' yesterday at GG. Choice was between it, SQ to SQ, LAB DF3, Rose Axis and Mizuno Craft  (also a double wide). Apparently I'm pretty good a aiming right of the hole consistently regardless of putter type. But it all came down to distance control and the insert feel. We hit puts in the putting area for the fitting but then ended up on the aisle carpet to hit long 40ish feet putts. Which is where the Microhinge did the best for my stroke. The Mizuno was a close second. The DF3 and Axis weren't bad either but I just felt really confident over the Microhinge and slightly soft but firm contact resonated so well. FWIW, I wanted to like the lie-angle balanced putters more than I did and was prepared to spend a bit. I guess putting is the individualistic aspect of our game. Hopefully, I didn't leave anything on the table. Anyone who knows my putting knows I need all the help I can get.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug ·

      The driver swing honestly feels good. Haven't played in a/the course for a bit but did pretty good at the sim place yesterday.  The idea has been to reduce twisting shaft instinctively at impact. For this have weakened left hand grip considerably. Pushed higher up in the hollow of the palm to take out index finger and thumb in pressure application which is a major are major contributors of shaft twisting at impact. On the flip side, right hand grip is way down in the lower part of the middle fingers. Not using index or thumb much at all. It also is designed to prevent getting underneath the shaft too much at impact. More of a float-loady  'paint the ball' feel through the ball. Overall address and neutral grip keeps both lead and trail sides on respective sides of the shaft instead of over or underneath the shaft. It seems it allows/promotes moving the shaft/club unit in unison with wrist/elbow/shoulder joints similar to an elephant swinging it's trunk. It does not feel like I am guiding the club path or trying to control club face at all. Fairly organic. Playing TPC Sawgrass in about a month. Will see how it all holds up. I hear its a good test.. heh.
