Anyone golf with one arm? Looking for tips and resources!

Golf Techniques
1

I’ve recently taken up golf and due to some circumstances, I only have the use of one arm. I’m really eager to learn how to adapt my swing and overall technique to enjoy the game.

I’ve seen a few videos online, but they don’t seem to provide the full picture. I would love to hear from anyone who has experience playing golf one-handed:

  • What techniques did you find most effective?
  • Any specific drills or practice routines you’d recommend?
  • Are there any communities or organizations that support one-armed golfers?
  • Any inspirational stories or personal experiences you want to share?

I’m excited to learn and connect with others who understand the unique challenges and joys of playing golf in this way. Looking forward to your insights!

I can’t speak from experience, but I’ve heard that using a one-handed swing can work wonders! Focus on your grip and body rotation. Anyone tried this?

I’ve seen some fantastic videos of one-arm golfers. It’s all about finding what feels comfortable. Videos can be super helpful!

Also, consider adaptive golf equipment. There are some great devices out there that can assist in maintaining control while you swing.

That sounds interesting! What kind of equipment are you talking about? Any recommendations?

There are specially designed grips and putters for one-arm golfers. They can really help with control. Check out some online retailers for more info!

It’s all about technique! You might want to practice using a one-arm swing without the ball first—just get the motion down.

Great tip! Muscle memory is key! Have you tried that approach yourself?

I actually did that, and it helped! I also set up drills focusing on posture and balance—it made a huge difference.

A friend of mine uses a tennis ball on a golf club to work on his swing! You might want to try it out for fun!

Yes! He said it added a unique challenge. It was a fun way to practice, and surprisingly effective! Always good to keep it lighthearted.

You know, every golfer has their unique style. Has anyone tried adjusting their stance to enhance balance while swinging one-handed?

Adjusting your stance can really make a difference! A wider base often helps with stability, especially when relying on one arm.

15

That’s a solid point! How wide do you think would be ideal?

I’d say shoulder-width is a good start! You can always adjust based on what feels comfortable and effective.

Another option is to look into training aids. Two-handed grips can be adjusted for one-handed use, and there are also weighted clubs that can help build strength and coordination.

I’ve golfed for years with one arm! As mentioned, reduced swing weight helps. Have you tried any specific adaptive grip styles? They can really boost your confidence and performance.

Not yet! I’d love to hear if anyone has links to good resources on grip styles or techniques for one-armed golfers.

There’s an awesome community of adaptive golfers online. Searching forums or groups on social media can be invaluable. Many share tips about their personal modifications and equipment!
