If the pain is in the joint consider arthritis. Take an anti imflammatory like Aleve. Soak hand in parafin soak. Softer and larger grips, graphite shafts, hit fewer balls.

If the pain is located in the palm of the hand where finger meets hand consider trigger finger. Gripping club firmly with last three fingers of left hand dragging it down can cause it. It is common in rock climbers. Triggering occurs when closing the finger binds or catches, then releases. Caused by inflammation of pulley thru which the flexor tendon passes. Treated by Cortisone injection which is highly successful or by surgery in injection fails.

Consider arthritic golf glove by Terris Golf endorsed and used by Bruce Fleischer. Different models for different hand pain. I have trigger finger model with palm pad. It helps.

Just hear Boo Weekley is now using graphite shafts cause of hand problems.
