Very nice form! Have you noticed having more control, more stability in your club head path? It was something that I noticed when I gave it a whirl....club head speed was controlled, I guess the only way to know is to increase this speed slowly over time.
The fear is not rod breakage, its having a pseudarthrosis or non-union, which will result in breaking hardware.....and in one of Dr Lenke’s books can happen out at 5 years. Its in this book.

Integrity of fusion mass is the question here, and at what time period....they don’t know, the studies have not been done. I did my tests by shoveling about 5 yards of landscaping rock at 15 months. One yard weighs 4050#. I thought it was a pretty good test.....I needed to know. Of course, I’m fine.
I’m wondering if a “compromised” level under stress will correct itself. Will the integrity improve under stress? It seems logical with bone remodeling.....I wish I knew. I wish we knew. Maybe a bone scientist will chime in?
Should we walk on eggshells forever? When can we push the limits?.....These are questions that require some thought and a whole bunch of typing....I think that since you are where you are at in your recovery, doing quite well, that you will shine.
Glad to hear Fido is ok. I call all dogs Fido’s.....smaller dogs, Fidomatics and all cats Bad kitty’s. Its easier that way.
