I guess that being 60+ is asking for some age related problems like stiff and arthritis fingers. It doesn't effect my swing much yet, but I notice that the fingers unfortunately are not what they used to be .. Does anybody have some good advice in such matters?

Because today 2/15/2011 is my Mom’s 99th Birthday, I am in a good mood so here are ideas from my wealth of useless information.

Avon Chamois grips
Warm Epsom salt hand bath-
Glucosamine supplement
Ginger ale
Copper bracelet
Sleep with hands closed

As I am here let me mention some pivot ideas.
The ideal is hands control of pivot. BUT FIRST, Learn your pivot. All power originates from the pivot. First learn how to make your pivot move your hands. Soft, hard, delayed, power into impact bag etc. Because the pivot is way out in front of your hands. Once you have learned where the pivot can take your hands you can start to use your hands and they , your hands will get the pivot out in front as needed because they will now know what the pivot is capable of. Hope this makes sense. It is my feeling.
