Very cool, @cipher ! Looks like fun. Glad you found a way to enjoy "golf" through your injury.

So is a good feel like you are pulling the disc down straight down the target line?

I think that's generally a good feel. Not around.

Erik already answered but yeah. Hardest part is actually getting that arm extended out at A4 ;-) with your back to the target.

I broke my wrist several years ago and went through surgery + rehab (not golf related). I m sure you will recover well. My advice to you is to avoid hitting any kind of irons/woods on the mats.

If you don't have any other choice (weather) , tee up always, avoiding any contact with the ground. Not only mats are damaging your tendons and ligaments but even your clubs and finally altering your swing. if you can choose practice only on real turf, if you can't tee up.

Best of luck to you

No real updates.  Looking to probably have surgery sometime around January.  That is about it.  Until I know more...thanks to all who have put in the effort to help my swing improve over the years.

Ditto. I'll talk to you off and on of course, @cipher . I know thinking about golf right now is depressing. That'll change around March. In fact, that's one of the things I want for my birthday: a happy Nate ready to play some golf again soon. :)

Attempting to claw my way out of the cave.  Yesterday I was able to make my first semi full swing in nearly 6 months after my initial ECU tendon subluxation injury.  I was swinging at about 70%. The tendon still feels pretty unstable and a bit painful but it did not fully pop out at any point.  I would say this is a victory in the road to getting through this. I had to cheat the grip a little bit.  It was a bit palmy in the left grip and not quite so much in the fingers.  This is not ideal, but it helps to reduce the amount of ulnar deviation that is problematic.  I also have to keep the left hand grip pretty strong which does help as recommended to me by @poser . Also I have to try and hold off as much supination after impact, by not allowing the club to overtake(which has always been a problem for me and continues to be).  So the question is, how do I get more Zach Johnson after impact?  How do I work to maintain a more wrist cupping/extension and hold off the rolling over of the club?

Welcome back!


Thanks Lihu.  I will try and get back to close to 100% over the next couple months.  If I have any setbacks it will be surgery time at that point, but this could be a good sign that I may not need it.  Right now I can't really swing anything longer than a 6 iron I would say.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.

      Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front.

      Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
