If you are right handed and getting a blister on your left thumb, assuming you wear a glove, you might want to try a smaller size glove.

If you feel comfortable not wearing a glove then your good......if you feel you need a glove then chances are the glove might have been a little big allowing it to "slip" or "bunch" a little while you swing. Grips are cheap, so replacing them with say Golf Pride tour velvets (or something of that ilk) would only run you about $2-$3 a club and can never hurt.

About six months ago I first tried out the Winn DSi on a club, and never looked back. Best grip I'd ever used. Before I take any club home I make sure I get that one particular grip on it, I wouldn't take anything else. Before, I'd tear up my hands and be forced to wear two gloves at times, but since then, I've never had a problem. I'd recommend it for anyone.

i will try some of those winns. golfpride looks like the most popular but i will take them to my club to get it done. you know it is funny because when i had it taped tight it still bothered me. ya i had a glove and the thumb was a little lose. so i went with out it and still received a blister so the only thing i could think of was the grips or office soft hands.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
