Free Secret Golf Tips : The Baseball Swing in Golf

[modem815]

1. I wonder how long it took him to build that baseball/golf hybrid club

2. Does he know that you do not try to hit the ball right to the pitcher in baseball?

3. Is "waggle" even a word?

[alex10for2]

@modem815 is waggle even a word? oh man...pick five lessons before you hurt yourself

[cheetncat]

Jay's the man!!!!!

[TomCleverley35]

Im not a hater or anything but im starting to think this guy uses enthusiasm to cover the fact that he doesn't really have useful tips.

[alex10for2]

@TomCleverley35 he's got some stuff but you're right, a whole lot of fluff

[orpflog]

why cant I imagine spin that globe it worked on his last video but know my ball is *uckin embedded in the trees on the left.

[OnePlaneSpartan329]

Ay yo! Get outta heaya!

[MattOKeefeGOLF]

If you want me to think about my bowling motion when I'm swinging my golf club, should I think about my golf swing when I'm bowling?

[mistaHANN]

Okay then how to relate golf to basketball then??

[rw5791]

well,ray floyd used the baseball swing as a golf aid.Just take a practice swipe like you're back in little league and realize the reason why it feels so natural is because you're striding into the pitch with your lead foot while your upper body coils.Now,duplicate that feel in your golf swing without,of course,lifting up your lead foot.

[znov400]

gosh ur a dumbass. i wonder how many swings ur killing with ur stupid advice

[Jlk679]

its lots of various golfswings you can use.. if you see the players on the tour f.ex. they use lots of different swings.

I changed my swing this year, from a Tiger woods type of swing with lots of rolling on the wrists and where you are not using your hips to much in the backswing, to a swing where the hips are the one starting the whole backswing, and where you aint using roll at all..

so what hes trying to say is that you need to find the swing that fits you, find the swing that feels right.

[jatdetube]

vardon grip but swing like baseball

[ajmchief]

No, don't make your baseball game try and work for golf. They are different. Learn a real golf swing.

[SweetKooshy]

he's trying to give the concept that while your standing there with the club to think that your holding a baseball bat or whatever your used to to get a positive feeling..it really works

[balaw3387]

sooooo i should go have people stand in front of me like a pitcher and just smoke the shit out of the ball at them and this will make me tiger woods???

[ferncortes1]

Why are all the Expert Village videos so bad?

I don't like putting these comments but shit this is very bad. It's almost like you have to suck at videos in order to be on Expert Village

They should rename it to AMATEUR VILLAGE or NOTEXPERT VILLAGE....

[Dennisbean1]

wtf what´s about this baseball/golf bat?

[tidalturfdotcom]

oh man...this is somewhat comical...i'm just sitting in my office chair laughing. i think dude wanted to be a pro ball player as a kid. too funny...hey kids, don't hit the golf ball like you swing a baseball bat. you will TOTALLY suck at golf. confidence is one thing...technique is another. i felt like i was watching an ESPN snipit for MLB or something. this is comical.

[labelkilled]

This man doesn't actually teach any type of technique at all. Up here we play hockey, I'm a goalie. Should I hold my club with one hand halfway down the shaft? Should I set up like a slapshot and have my hands split apart?

I get that it should feel natural, but it should feel natural in a golf sort of way, otherwise I wouldn't be playing golf would I? I'd be throwing a god damn bowling ball at the hole or something silly like that.

[TheCWLPimp]

I'm gonna use what i use in sex so i can be more comfortable

[dcfc27]

jesus christ this is terrible

[murrayboy1234]

i thought this was golf not baseball

[woobieoz]

somebody get this guy some valium!!!!!

[Luckygpg2847]

didnt learn anything

[dollerante]

baseballclub nice...

[bdyftns]

AndJust.....He may be a member of the PGA but he does a poor job instructing on this video. The baseball swing is correct, but not for the reasons he mentioned. It's more of getting your hips through before you clubhead impacts the ball.

He leaves out so much. Like HOW your body and swing make the ball go toward the 'pitcher', or your target.

At least in this video he really shows nothing of importance.

[mtg540]

he was demonstrating a type of grip. The "baseball" grip.

[AndJusticeForMe]

I love how all the wanna-be's and never-will-be's criticize this instructor. This guy is PGA qualified and is trying to keep it simple for beginners. The ones who criticize are the ones who suck the most. Remember, playing Tiger Woods PGA on XBOX doesn't make you an expert on the golf swing.

[AlWat870]

"i feel baseball! i feel baseball!"

this guy is a few cards short of a deck

[BGMP]

What if all I understand is Quidditch?

[qrrbrbirbel2]

then you're a harry potter character that never made it into the books :P

[cardinalcrazy09]

probably the most incorrect explanation of a golf swing ive ever heard.  just be relaxed and hit the ball. its not that hard.

[robj118]

this guy is retarded

[camatt2989]

hes not using a baseball swing

[JetLi321]

This guy got it all wrong!! It is OK to use the baseball swing for golf only if the shaft is making contact with the ball, but it's not!!! The club head is making the contact, and that is what the equivalence of a baseball bat should be. Check out AJ Bonar's videos. He's got it dead on!

[nickblaze420]

hahahah bonar hahahahahah

[philipakasunny]

youtube community is just so stupid :D

he is really great. getting this comparison makes it easy fpr beginners to get better.

[djtblizzle]

You guys are all missing the point! He's not at all comparing a baseball swing to a golf swing. Pay attention to the video. What he is saying is that if VISUALIZATION helps you gain CONFIDENCE in your swing then USE IT. That's why he also mentioned bowling and tennis. This video has NOTHING TO DO WITH SWING TECHNIQUE. It has to do with finding what is comfortable for you, and gaining confidence when holding the club. You gain confidence with "knowing" where the ball is "coming from." Wow...

[Zolzitar]

This guy is really intense, but he's a bastard; Golf and Baseball are two different sport.

In my point of view, the two things that are similar is that you hit a ball, and you swing something to hit the ball. For the rest, too much difference. He's a crap

[dough80y]

The secret to Manny Ramirez's Batting average isn't * Its his golf swing!!!

[nittanylions08]

i think that this is a stupid commit you see the pitcher and the ball

[xKaveMaNx]

He does have a good point with some parts but DONT use the same swing. I've played baseball for 8 odd yrs and the swing is NOT the same.

[tdredsox34]

it's two different games?

[czastrow1205]

haha agreed

[dopekr]

i was going to make a bad comment but i think i dont even need to, this is self deploratory

[redzer109]

i agree :D

[PlayfulRanger]

Hes got a point as far as visualizing an instinctual feeling. However the pitcher and the golf target do not correlate as baseball is an act of reacting to an object in motion and where the ball goes is all up to timing, not approach.

[AceGuitarR7]

also i dont see how the tennis image could work. i play tennis and its awkward to me thinking about tennis and golf as the same swings... the mechanics are nothing alike.

[DE3TS20KH29KB5]

my dad used to play tennis and he told me it really helped him how to draw the bal or fade it, he said he would close the racket a little bit right before the ball came so he could put top spin on it, and really that all u do to draw it if u have a decent swing

[AceGuitarR7]

lol, you dont try and hit the pitcher, you try and hit it out of the park!

[iFuknOwn]

i think he knows where the pitcher is o.O

[vaaron2006]

I don't see any connection whatsoever between golf and baseball.

Anyway, he has a nice swing ...

[sessien]

Read Davis Love II and Davis Love Jr's book. It might surprise you what you'll find.

[IIvIIoNsTeR19]

you mean Davis Love III...Davis Love II=Davis Love Jr.

[FairwayJack]

This is the best expert village video I've seen to date. This good advice.

[dinkyman706]

this guy is an idiot, in baseball ur not trying to hit the pitcher even tho u do know where he is, u still dont know exactly where the actual ball ur hitting will be until it gets to u, where as golf... it's just sitting there: still!, in golf find a spot on the ground a few inches in front of the ball thats inline with ur target and hit at that... it's what the "good pga" players do...

[1tontomato]

This fellow hit most of those shots chunky if you look at where the divot started.

[shykago]

do you want to print your own pictures on golf balls ? 3w qdunique com will give you a answer.

[RUJENHAL]

here's a 90 mph fastball into your rib cage !!! this video is useless!!!

[joshmcconnell654]

I'm no golf pro but i played baseball and golf in high school and golf in college and during baseball season if i went golfing my batting average went down because my swing would change to a golf swing. I've always been told by coaches that they are two totaly different swings. I can see how u might relate the two to get a certain level of comfort but i wouldn't recomend using the same swing for both sports...But like i said im no golf pro just my personal experience

[Cff87910]

Guess I'm screwed -- couldn't hit a baseball either.

[MisterGn0me]

Awful just straight up awful... he's the reason why people go o the course or range and they hit the ball 10 yards... people can grip a club like a bat MAYBE but swings are two different things.

[utuba69]

Yh I'm a "PGA Member" aswell.

[treflipPK]

Hes, A decent golfer.. whats your problem with him?

[basketcase3000]

Actually a golf swing is very similar to a baseball swing. Practise a baseball swing with a golf club, and then do the same movement/swing whilst bent over in the golf stance over the ball. So long as you begin to uncock your wrists at the beginning of the downswing (as you would with a baseball swing) you'll get a good contact and the ball will go straight.

[CosmicSPC]

yehaaaaaaaaaaaaaa yehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!

[bs3ball3r]

this guy has no idea what he is talking about..

[redtippmann]

"I feel basball, I feel baseball. Heres my waggle." - Thats great!

[lickyrude]

hahahahaha. bullshit

[culleytom]

this is the funniest video i have ever seen. This guy obviously does not have a clue about golf.He is a complete retard. This is my waggle. go shove the waggle up your ass!!!!1
