I got my ST for Christmas and got instantly hooked. I would spend hours hitting anywhere from 150-400+ balls. I developed Tendinitis in both arms and took 12 days off without any golf contact (torture!). I bought a new mat to hit off of in case I was getting the "CCE" elbow. I got a FiberBuilt FlightDeck and started my obsessive practicing again which led me to a flare-up of tendinitis. I then took 18 days off without golf contact (TORTURE!). I tried to be smart and govern my practice by limiting contact time and amount of balls. However, I woke up last Friday morning with tendinitis symptoms again. This time isn't as bad, but I am concerned about making it through the golf season as soon as the weather turns.
Questions for our experts:
I assumed my problem was from being such a poor ball striker and hitting the mat too fat.
1.Could my problem be from the severe toe or heel strikes that send the jarring/stinging feeling up the club shaft?
2. If so, would I benefit from getting graphite shafts? I have been in the market for new clubs since last Fall but keep putting it off until I got a 'consistent swing' to get fit with.
3. Would it be a cheaper/smarter route to have my current clubs changed to graphite shafts?
I appreciate any help or suggestions you guys have.
Thanks!
