Aims of Taping Tape may be used to: Stabilize or support an injury Relieve pain by de-loading vulnerable or painful structures Facilitate normal movement, muscle action, or postural patterns. a few things (like Kinesiology taping for golfers) and found out it seemed to be a form of golfers (or tennis) elbow. Radial nerve pinching most commonly occurs in folks who participate in sports (like golf!) and occupational activities with repetitive motions such as pushing or pulling, twisting, gripping with the hand or bending the wrist. Essentially once the tape is applied and stretched properly it lifts the skin, accelerating blood flow to increase the amount of oxygen available to the muscles, which reduces fatigue (and nerve compression) away from the soft tissue underneath the lifted skin.

Let’s just say it’s something that sits a bit outside the norm—on the fringe shall we say. LoudMouth I’ll be honest, at first glance, this product seemed pretty weird (one of the true odd golf products) golf. It seems to be getting some sound reviews (even we did one called, Feel True “Connection” with The Golf Swing Shirt ) and is endorsed by 3-time Major winner, Padraig Harrington. We all know how removing those pesky plastic golf cleats can feel like you’re trying to loosen a rusted nut from a bolt.

It’s as much about the game of golf and its role in society as it is about golf course design. There have been a number of world class US pros who ‘didn’t get’ Scottish golf course design the first few times they played. Just looking at the names of the holes in Scottish golf course design and their prominent features, you can see how much the Scots love this name. So the Scots have these easy walking courses, with hundreds of variables per hole, played under wildly changing weather conditions, where you can use a putter from 20 yards off the green, with bunkers you can get lost in, and holes that are fun for you as well as Tiger.

I believe that the intent of all the advice about holding the club loosely (like holding a live bird, for instance) is aimed at letting the wrists hinge freely during the swing. When your shots start straying left and right, there’s a natural tendency to try and ‘control’ the club via your hands/wrists. Scientific analysis has proven that the muscles in the wrists cannot control the physical forces that build up in the club-head during a full swing. In a good swing with the right wrist tension, centrifugal forces are going to close the club-head correctly at impact.
