This video has over 300K views, so I’m sure there are a lot of confused golfers out there wondering why they’re blocking their ball dead right, banana-slicing it across three different fairways or pulling it clear out of the golf course.
Let me put this out there right now – I have played baseball, and I have played golf, and I struggled for so many years trying to swing a golf club properly because I had played baseball first.
I came across a comparison video between world long driving champion Kyle Berkshire and home run hitter Shohei Ohtani and there’s only one problem with the mechanics, albeit a glaring problem.
I wonder if anyone would be able to say what it is?
I played softball/baseball for years growing up, and while it helped me to be able to make very powerful swings in that sport (along with having swung axes and sledgehammers growing up the son of a carpenter-then-construction contractor), there is an element in the baseball swing that can really inhibit good golf swinging.
That element is the non-requirement to swing the bat behind you before swinging at a ball.
