Third hole of match something went funny in trailing (right) wrist. By 5, could not make hard ground contact and hold onto club. What is weird is on 4-9 I hit the driver better than I had all year, both accuracy and distance  MRI diagnosed imflammed ECU tendon. We can talk about cause at the school. Note: I will get cortisone shots if necessary and have several cc's of lidocaine I will have with me, so I will be there.
My question is how in the name of God did I manage to add substantial yardage while unable to fully release the wrists? Is it possible that this pain forced me to make the proper "karate chop" move at the driver?
Don't spend any time on this, I know you are busy, but if you have an idea, let me know. |
Phana,
Good to hear you are putting the pieces together on your own. We will take a look at next week's school to help you understand the distance gain... but sounds like to me the swing direction improvement has promoted some extra distance
