hey guys, after going to the range frequently I felt some pain in my 4th and last finger of my left hand.. anyone had such an experience before? was wondering if it is a case of improper hand grip or I gripped too tight (I grip very very tight when I'm using thee driver).

IMHO it might be due to the tightness of ur grip. Always remind one selfs that the grip should only be a firm (4-5 /10) rather than tight.

Use ICE treatment ie; hot towel it for 5-10 min followed by cold towel 5-10 min x 2. It will help on the swelling of ur fingers.

Seniors here pls advise.

I m sure it yr tight grip, loosen it up. Your grip shld be firm n not tight, this is what my coach teach me.

I m suffering from it too, guessed my grip was too tight......plus my right elbow pretty sore too....

even when driving, just a firm grip will do? I tend to tighten my grip a lot more when I'm using the driver

Try one of those magnetic bracelets.

Works for me.

Apparently taka got a sale going on, so those things going on sale.

Or..... You could practice putting for 2 weeks to let your body recover...

The putter is used much more than the driver.

Sian right? That's why I bought the bracelet.

Had the same problem when I first started. Was gripping too tight. Relax your shoulders at address, grip pressure should lighten. Works for me, no more pain in fingers.

All golfer will suffer some form of pain here and there. Impt is to allow your body to recover and find out what is wrong ( likely too strong grip ). Force it too hard and you will get injured. I too suffer a bad shoulder blade pain, after 10 over years still hurt at times.

Look after your body and enjoy the game.

Cheers.

Gripping too tight guys. I had the same problem a few months back. If you are not careful, it will travel up your arm like me.

you will develop tennis elbow (on left arm) and tricep might also get affected in time.

Take about 2 weeks off golf. i know hard to do. keke.

If not, loosen that grip and the pain in the fingers will go away. you'd be surprised that you actually will start hitting longer and straighter too.

many ppl have commented that i grip the club way too tight. and i'm making a conscious effort to change that.

I would go see a chinese doctor if you want it to recover faster. Western doc just gave me MC and some cream to apply and pain killers.

MC! I want

i got the same problem but more due to my finger's flesh??? so when the calluses are up, with the dead skin, i didn't feel pain anymore. just like the calluses you get when you go pull ups.
