    This is a great swing tip to follow. This is the ben hogan way of swinging the club. Its simple and repeatable. Im now breaking 80 consistently with this swing and im already 63 years old😊

    This idea of thinking of the golf swing as the baseball swing is the single best tip I’ve heard of. And I’ve heard of a lot of them. I don’t need to run 10 swing thoughts through my head when swinging at a baseball. Brilliant

    Excellent idea Ross, and thanks for leaving the blooper in! Shows that you are truly human.

    I worked this out some time ago and it has made such a difference. Just swing the club like you would a baseball bat and everything else will follow. Your body will turn, you will use your legs more, your right elbow will stay tucked in, you'll watch the ball and your arms will extend to the follow through.

      i noticed this also. My elbow doesn't fly at all when I use this grip. I think because the wrist become locked and stable there isn't anywhere for the elbow to go except in the correct swing plane

    I once had a golf lesson from Randel Vines. He told me to do exactly this and it changed my golf game forever. No more complicated swing thoughts. Thanks for the reminder.

    This is a great video!! The more it feels like a baseball swing the better the ball goes. You hit through the ball.

    I like how you instruct to swing gradually lower- I will try this at the range and on the course. Thanks

    Ben Hogan studied good baseball players actions! i think at some time he said the golf swing is a baseball swing on the ground.!

  • @MSDOGS1976

    Speaking of baseball.......what are your thoughts in using a 10 finger grip instead of overlapping or interlocking?

    • @bladedog4110
      @bladedog4110 Před rokem +1

      I have a bad wrist, I can’t do the interlocking. I use the 10 finger.

    The secret of the Baseball Swing is keeping the right ellbow tucked to your body.
    But: do not follow the clubhead with your eyes as shown here but stay down at the tee. Makes all the difference in precision.

  • @MrMark945
    @MrMark945 Před 5 lety

    Great advice...literally it makes so much sense...I just envision the ball as a low pitch that I have to put in play...swing path is great everytime (still need club face control tho) but this is the most logical way to correct swing path

    Hi ! Do you need a stronger grip for a baseball type golf swing?

    When I do a level turn my head moves off the ball. Your head came off the ball in your final clip.

    Great drill,I,m convinced now the baseball action is the best drill to practice regularly,unfortunately i,ve been trying others and getting myself into a muddle i tried it before but should have persevered with it,so it,s baseball action from now on.S/j,i,m out.

      Hi Sydney..thanks for the comment....glad to hear you are a fan of the Baseball Drill, it really does work and with lots of practice you will see some great results.
      I actually just did this drill this afternoon with a group of golfers in Portugal.....they are now big fans too! Cheers Ross 👍

  • @johnwilson6319

    The lower body movements yes but most good hitters have there elbow up not down they make moves with their hands to get in lag position power hitters are elbow up I grew up in pro baseball and know this to be true

  • @johnnynight2301
    @johnnynight2301 Před 4 lety

    Nice Try but not quite... Striding into the left side just as you would when hitting a baseball is what you really need to do when hitting a golf ball... It really is a simple move but gets lost in all the golf instruction...

  • @davidmcnamara3243
    @davidmcnamara3243 Před rokem

    Just swing the club, like a baseball bat.
    Don't pull don't push, instead throw the club around the circle, using the whole club, like a baseball bat.
    This will negate, all the useless swing thoughts, that are peddled online!!!!
