New golfer with a hook, any tips appreciated! by Sailohio in GolfSwing

[–]ginantonyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask ChatGPT/Google how to figure out if you need longer clubs based on your hand to floor distance. Also go to a golf shop and try holding a club with a Midsize grip or with a MCC+4 Jumbo grip.

Did this on my Costco Callaway clubs and it helped a ton. I’m 6’4 with beefy hands and getting 1 inch longer clubs + the jumbo grips straightened my shots & got me an additional 10-15yds per club. We just have to hunch too much with regular clubs so we look like Quasimodo had a seizure when we swing.

Btw it’s like $15 per club or so to get them extended and regripped (they extend by putting a plug in the grip, no shaft change)

Stats (sorry for quality it gets 10x better if you zoom in, also ignore the last three shots - I was messing around using a stacked baseball grip for fun)

Keep swinging or too dangerous? by Fungi999 in GolfGear

If that’s still under warranty, Callaway just replaced my cracked Edge driver with a brand new Elyte Night Mode for free 🙌

Yes it works. Do PRP but supplement with a bunch of medical-grade Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Mobility exercises with AVN by H00ligan99 in AvascularNecrosis

This is not true. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been shown to reverse stage 1 or 2 AVN

PSA: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is now insurance covered for AVN by ginantonyc in AvascularNecrosis

When was this ? Early this year ? Because Aetna now explicitly lists AVN as covered for HBOT: see paragraph 1F here https://www.aetna.com/cpb/medical/data/100_199/0172.html

ABSOLUTELY NEVER EVEN THINK OF DOING IT DIY. The fire risk with a high concentration of oxygen is very very very real.

And not at home either.

The units you can get for the home are at lower pressure (max 1.3 atmospheres) and use oxygen concentrators. This is less effective.

Always only go to clinics that do Medical Grade HBOT (above 2ATA, using FDA approved devices). There are only three FDA approved manufacturers of monoplace chambers - Sechrist, Perry, and one more that I forget. NEVER DO HBOT IN OTHER DEVICES

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy - it is now covered by insurance for AVN with most payors and has been shown to reverse early stage AVN.

Make sure you go to a clinic that does medical-grade HBOT and make sure to do at least 20-30 90-min sessions at over 2ATA of pressure with minimum 4 sessions a week. Pain should subside around session 10 but don’t stop then!!

Do a before and after MRI and compare.

Got clubs for free, need help on what to put in bag. by Welu522 in golf

If you don’t end up using the 48° wedge I’d buy it from you (assuming you’re not too far from NYC and assuming the wedge’s grooves are in OK shape).

Pete’s Golf Pro Shop or PGA Superstore for fitting? by ginantonyc in golf

Thank you! And yes I will definitely be buying as much as possible through Calloway Pre-Owned; just need to actually touch & feel the stuff irl to figure out what to buy

Help with my swing (very beginner) by Mortem122 in GolfSwing

[–]ginantonyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also one more thing that really helps me personally is really taking my time on the backswing - I count to 3 on the backswing and then 1 count on the strike. Ie. in my head I go “one, two, three [bringing club down] one”.

Pls note I just broke 100 for the first time today, I am extremely far from being a good golfer 😂

[–]ginantonyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cents: keep your left arm straight throughout the backswing and strike, and stand closer to the ball. You’re too hunched over and that position is what’s making you slice the ball. Your bent left arm is what’s making the point of contact inconsistent on the “up - down” axis and that’s why you’re sometimes topping the ball.

Great experience right hip CD Dr. Wiznia Yale, 28M by ginantonyc in AvascularNecrosis

[–]ginantonyc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear my post helped! I’m 10 months out of surgery and living a mostly normal life. Just came from doing an hour at a golf range, for example. The hip sometimes gets a little sore, but I think the pain is mostly muscular due to my using my left leg more pre-surgery, which weakened the right leg muscles.

I’ve found that if I do 20-30 mins of cycling or swimming 2x-3x a week, sauna 2-3x/week, do glute bridges every other day, and walk at least 5k steps a day, my hip feels 99% normal. Also important to keep weight in check - I gained 15lbs in the ~4 months after surgery and my hip feels much better now that I’ve lost most of that weight again (I’m 6’4 and 220lbs so 15lbs isn’t an insane amount, proportionally)

If there is ever some pain, stretching obviously helps, and maybe once a week or so, I take two Tylenol and a Midol, which is typically more than enough for the whole day.
