IM new here and not no tiger woods I would rate myself as a intermediate beginner. Yesterday I was out playing golf and before we started I was at the driving range with my driver and after a couple hits I felt a sharp pain in my lower right arm elbow area and today my whole lower arm is black and blue swollen. Have no clue what has happened. And very frustrated with my drives, I cant seem to be constant with hitting the ball straight and was wondering if I can get some advice with my driver and clubs and what could have happened to my right arm area.

Thanks,

Well, I'm no doctor but you could have a wide range of issues, including a broken forearm.  See somebody if pain and swelling persist.

Sharp pain followed by swelling and black and blue = bad. Get to an urgent care clinic.

Post a video. There's lots of doctors on this site. Maybe @Ferguson can fix you up.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Go see a doctor, preferably an orthopaedist.  In the meanwhile; Ice it then put a compression wrap (i.e. Ace bandage) around it.  The acronym RICE, rest, ice, compression, elevation, helps relieve the swelling.  We can't speculate on what the injury is, but a good doctor will be able to tell.

Thank you all for the Drs advice but what about my swing?

It looks pretty good. :-P Start a My Swing thread and post some video. No one can really help without actually seeing what your doing in your swing now.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

@rayg1022 Sorry I left you hanging, I was on my phone when I posted so I couldn't really add more pointers and links. I was assuming someone else would hop in and fill in the blanks, unfortunately it looks like nobody did. Check out this thread: http://thesandtrap.com/t/38240/my-swing-video-threads-rules-please-read Nobody can really give any worthwhile advice without seeing your swing so I suggest you take some video. Be sure to read all the instructions carefully, if you don't get the correct angles when filming, swing analysis can be difficult. Once you have some decent video up I'm sure we can help you with your swing. Get that arm checked though, it sounds nasty.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Well update on the arm is I have torn bicep. Need to let it heel for 3 weeks on pain meds and ice. The bruising is the internal bleeding flowing were it can.

Last year, after playing very little for the previous 2 years, I played 6 out of 7 days straight.  I got a little bit of what felt like tendinitis in my right forearm, so I got one of those velcro wraps to wear.  After the first round wearing the wrap, my whole forearm arm turned black and blue like I'd been worked over with a hammer.  I think it had something to with the wrap, although I know it wasn't too tight because it even slipped down to my wrist on a couple of swings, but I'd never had anything like that bruising before.  Nor has it recurred.  Don't have any idea what really caused it, but it faded in about a week, just like any bruise would, and never really hurt that much, just a sort of dull ache that I didn't even notice unless it thought about it.  The tendinitis gradually healed too after I just quit playing for a couple of weeks to let the arm rest.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
