Ripped up hands...

What to do?

Hi,

I play full cord grips on all my clubs and playing 3-5 times a week really takes a toll on my hands. Not that they hurt all that much, but they just look horrible. I hope I'm not the only one (and I know its winter) but what are all of your solutions?

[thenewbie]

yeah, full chords here too, on my irons. and I don't even where a glove. my hands are tore up, but they're so tough now that they don't blister or hurt anymore. they just get tougher and tougher. its kind of like when I played high school footbal. every time I started to bleed I made a bloody line down my jersey. its a war scar.

 

and anyways, I'm a believer that a man should have tough hands. it shows that you know how to work hard. call me a traditionalist, I guess.

I get the same thing, nothing can really make it go away but i use a really good hand lotion, very feminish but gets the job done, keeps the hands from getting itchy from being dry and cut up

lots of hand lotion when you're not playing...

 

you might want to try a different grip with less cord as well...

 

i don't wear a glove, and don't even play cords, and my hands get dry as hell even after hitting a small bucket...

 

lotion is a no go during play though, cause you can't hold the club the same...

 

last resort is to wear a glove...

you should be able to find this stuff at any wallgreens or walmart, or any other Rx for that matter. I use to set forms and foundations in arizona, which means I was swinging an 8lbs sledgehammer hundreds of times daily, and concrete guy's don't wear gloves. wood handle + concrete + 100 plus temps + skin = some painfull sh*t. After a long search I found this stuff, and it is the only thing that fixed my jacked up hands. do not use before a round of golf!! drive home then use. I had

success using it before bed. trust me if it fixed me then it will fix you. hope it helps

I'm assuming a lighter grip wouldn't help any in this case, who know's? I haven't used full cords, so I can't relate, but I'll keep it in mind.

i get pretty brutal callouses too, I sometimes use a pumice stone to get all of the dead skin off of it and if its really bad clip it off with nail clippers

Ouch, I wear mine proud - i want people to know when i shake their hand that I work (or golf in this case haha). My hands are tough enough now - i've only ever had one callous peel off and that was from working with a dodgy pick axe

I never actually realised that cave men can use the internet. How enlightening.

You ever consider changing the grips?

This is an area that I can say that I'm an expert in. I own a window cleaning company and during the winter my hands split open and get roughed up pretty good because of the chemicals I use. I've tried everything and have found that the only thing that works for me (thanks to my wife) is salt scrub and body butter from Jordan Essentials. If you are married your wife can show you how to use the stuff, if not just follow the instructions.

I use cord grips as well and hit balls every day. First, I hold the club very lightly. Then, I use a good quality hand lotion (Ictyane hand cream by Ducray) in the morning and before going to bed. Works well for me.
