The Otago opener endured a torturously lean run last season but has started the summer with back-to-back 100s.
It is a rare feat - only eight Otago batsman have managed to score a 100 in each innings of a first-class game - and made even more special because the 33-year-old was playing in his 100th first-class game.
Who knows, perhaps that is some kind of first?
But the former Black Cap does not like to dig too deep. He is just happy to be playing again and puts the turnaround down to something as simple as deciding to enjoy the game.
He had got too analytical, too consumed by scoring runs and had forgotten why he played the game.
"What I've done in the past is over-analyse and try to tweak my game," Redmond said.
"I put a lot of pressure on myself but now I've taken that pressure away and am just going out there to play the game for the right reasons and that is for enjoyment.
"The biggest thing is I've just cleared my mind and got rid of all the clutter. I've got to the point where I'm not even worried about it - my technique is my technique."
To put Redmond's efforts in context, in six first-class games last season he scored 157 runs at an average of 14.27. He lost the captaincy, was dropped in all three formats and sat out the last month of the summer.The break turned out to be a blessing. He had a chance to stand back and look at what was really important.
Refreshed mentally, Redmond has made as good a start to the season as you can hope for with 133 in the first innings and 123 yesterday to help Otago seal an eight-wicket win in its opening Plunket Shield match against Canterbury in Rangiora.
It was the second time Redmond has scored a 100 in each innings. He managed it two years ago and joins Bert Sutcliffe and Glenn Turner as the only Otago batsmen to achieve the feat.
