Arthritic Thumbs

I'm 73, and my thumbs are all but worn out due to arthritis.  In a consultation with my orthopaedic doctor in Nashville, he gave me two choices-- surgery, which I don't want to pursue, or injections of cortisone. He also told me that since I was a golfer I should find a way to take the stress from the base of my thumbs. Gripping the club with a standard grip extends the thumbs down the shaft, putting extra pressure on them. I had to discover another way to relieve the thumb pressure.. In my search I came across Enlow Grips and gave them a try.  My thumbs feel great and I now look forward to playing golf for many years to come. Check out this site.Enlow Grips
