On the surface a baseball swing and the golf swing are essentially the same. The only perceivable difference being the point of contact with the ball. One of the not so obvious differences between the two is the method of transferring power. A baseball player gets his power by “stepping into the ball”, taking a stride towards the ball, shifting his weight from his right foot to his left foot, using this forward weight shift to add momentum to his swing. A golfer gets his power by rotating his upper body against his hips, affectively cocking his whole body. The golfer “un-winds” his shoulders, at the same time shifting his weight from right foot to left foot. For young flexible individuals the golf swing is easily accomplished, but as the golfer ages and flexibility wanes, swing power diminishes. I often wonder why there has'nt been an attempt at using the baseball swing. The kids play a version of Tee ball, with some success, one would think that adults could modify the procedure. All anyone would have to do is practice “stepping into the ball”. David Leadbetter demonstrated this swing in the March addition of Golf Digest, he seems to think it would add yardage to aging swings. Whats your opinion?
