Shallowing the club is incredibly counter-intuitive. However, the one thing I have learned is that swinging a golf club is MUCH more similar to throwing a ball sidearm than it is to swinging a baseball bat. That side arm motion simulated shallowing the club and the hip movement is bang on to swinging a golf club. 1.

I often see baseball players get very aggressive from the top of the backswing. Instead of remaining patient and allowing the club to work, they simply pull across the shot as if they were trying to the ball 40 feet foul down the left field line for the right handed hitter. This causes the dreaded slice shot and leads to rounds of frustration and l...
If you are someone that falls into the common swing fault discussed above, it is time we change our perspective of the game. As you stand over the shot, imagine that you are standing at home plate in the batters box. 2nd base is your target and the foul lines are the edges of the fairway. The golf here is to hit the ball towards right center and ha...
Far too often, we hear the advice to take your hands out of the golf swing. This might be the single worst tip for any golfer, let alone former or current baseball players. The best baseball players are gifted with any amazing set of hands. Let’s utilize those hands to control the club face and hit the shots that will allow us to shoot great scores...
Golf, just like baseball take rhythm and timing. The fortunate part for baseball players is that they have trained their rhythm and timing for years by hitting batting practice and taking many reps swinging a baseball bat. The one advantage in golf is that the ball is sitting still. You don’t have to rush it and try to catch up with the fastball, b...
The key as you make the transfer is to swing the clubhead or the barrel of the bat. Don’t stand over the ball and think about any of the following that many golfers seem to get caught up in: 1. Where should my left shoulder go? 2. How open should my hips be? 3. Am I swinging the club too far back? 4. Does my head move back or stay centered? Too man...
Many baseball players already have some great speed. The key is to have your distance be the number one strength. We know from studying the analytics in golf that the longer you can hit a ball, the better chance you have of scoring low. Some basic logic will tell us that if we hit a driver 300 yards and have a 100 yard shot instead of a 150 yard sh...
Let’s face it, in order to get really good at golf, we must practice frequently. About three years ago, I made the leap and invested in a golf simulator build for my garage. I went with a SkyTrak Launch Monitorand the TGC software and can now play over 100,000 courses including Augusta, Pebble Beach, Bethpage Black, Whistling Straits. St. Andrews a...
Here is a simple baseball swing golf drill that you can try to improve your connection with the golf ball: Start by making some swings where you take your driver over your right shoulder and swing level with the ground. When you drop your club down to waist height, your forearm and the club should be in a matching position, square to the ground.
Sep 1, 2024 · 1. You’re More Likely to Make a Proper Weight Transfer. In baseball, much of a hitter’s power comes from the stride, which is where the weight is transferred from the back foot to the front foot. The golf swing also requires a transfer of energy from the right foot to the left foot (for a right-handed golfer).

Jan 19, 2010 · The only major differences are the baseball is moving and in the air when hit, so the swing is closer to parallel to the ground. The golf ball is stationary, on the ground and the swing is more diagonal or on a tilted plane to the ground. Both swings are similar in that the baseball player waiting for the pitch is already loaded on the back ...
