Re: Lefty r Righty

dude, you could dislocate your left forearm like that because it wont clear through and the power of the right arm will create stress. you should be a lefty. Its all about your body, not the outer elements like a golf club. But you can groove to become right handed and become successful with those clubs of yours. Change your grip to right hand below, visit the range for at least two weeks straight with those clubs and you will be ok.

Re: Lefty r Righty

your a righty with a wrongy grip lol, I've tried it after seeing someone on tv hitting like that, it would be the end of golf and my job in no time because of messed up wrist, why don't you just swing left handed(buy new clubs) or switch your grip(time and practise). if you can hit a ball swinging like you are you can surely hit one with the correct grip.

Re: Lefty r Righty

thanks wildwillie

tried right hand grip, even had a few lessons with the pro at the local club but all i was doing was bounding the club off the ground (maybe its from playing hurley when i was a kid). one of my main problems was not being able to use the woods but bought a hybrid, great club, and dumped the woods

Re: Lefty r Righty

you have to swing with the body more, with cross handed grip you eliminate alot of your body swing, the pro should have worked on that first with you.

If you are bouncing the clubs off the ground with the proper grip, then you probably need to go try a set of left handed clubs. Swinging the wrong way with a lot of people will make them do the same.
