Been playing golf my whole life. I’m 66. Recently the shaft started bent left thumb backwards. It’s now severely sprained. This ever happen to any of you?

I’m not sure how you managed to do that. I’m swinging a club slowly in my living room trying to figure it out.

Ice and rest brother

My left thumb joint has been hurting most of the year. KT tape helps when playing.

I’ve had it happen before. Early flip of the trail hand can get that thumb in a bind.

You got to flip it and come over the top to consistently hit the double cross.

A sore thumb is a small price today for an “elite” move.

You can't hit it through all 9 windows unless you can hit it through the bottom left one.

My windows:

1 = top dead straight
2 = low pull hook
3 = low push fade
4= shank
5= popcorn fart right
6= pop up from steep angle of attack
7= lucky draw
8 = lucky straight
9 = lucky fade

Yes, joint area like the post 2 down from yours. I had that happen earlier in life also. More than once. My Dad would always have something to squeeze when I was little to help his game. I never use those and probably why he has never had this problem.
