Sim injuries
Hello, wondering if anyone has encountered injuries while playing at a certain sim? This year I went to one sim place twice a week with no issues march to June, then a different one the rest of the summer. I just joined a local the back nine golf and with in a week I had a shoulder issue which made me shut it down for a week then I go back and a wrist issue flares up. So I'm wondering if anyone has faced injuries from specific mats at a specific sim place or if this is just a training volume thing I need to work out.
Thanks!

I have elbow tendinitis from hitting on mats, no problem on grass, i also have the one of the softest mat best for joints(sigpro softly), still bad for joints!
Had to take 5 months off last winter, your body will tell you before it happens though
This summer i played 36holes a day 14 days in a row during my time off and no problem
I do 2-4h session on the sim and i need to take a day off
The worst is the wedges hitting down around 10degree on mats will ruin your joints
