![]() ![]() We also found a Butch Harmon Instagram post from earlier this year that helped illustrate the concept, and I’ve shared the video from Tiger Woods’ former coach below. The fix was right hip rotation, and I worked to find the correct position. Schiavo and I joked that the tail was wagging the dog. My arms were doing a lot of work, and everything else was along for the ride. And I wasn’t turning as much as I should. To generate power, I swayed right to left - much like I do when I play slow-pitch softball. I always liked a wider stance in baseball.īut the biggest tip, to me, was all in the hips. Batters are most likely to miss the pitch on a 0-2 count and less likely on a 3-0 count. We moved my feet together a couple of inches. I always liked an upright stance in baseball. I moved my right thumb a little to the right and removed the pressure I was applying Schiavo said my knuckles were white. During a series of my first-ever golf lessons, we went about un-baseballing my golf swing. Schiavo is a swing coach at GOLFTEC his office is in Englewood, N.J. That previous paragraph was what I confessed to Nick Schiavo a few months ago. Over the years, I’ve made it all work, but consistency has been an issue. I also have a weird “dip” on my downswing, which probably has something to do with the thought of me ‘going to get’ the ball, as you would a low pitch in baseball. I was a pull hitter in baseball - if you were to have lined up your defense against me, you would have been wise to line up all of your fielders left of second base - and so my miss in golf, especially off the tee, is a demoralizing low snap left. And when I’m not on? Straight-to-left hooks. They can only strike out on a swing and miss or a ball they fail to swing at in the strike zone. When I’m on, I hit a very playable draw I slice about every other year. Fails to swing at a pitch that crosses the plate in the strike zone, swings at a pitch and misses, hits the ball out of bounds with fewer than two strikes against them. Today, my right-handed baseball ‘move’ remains, annoyingly, though completely my own doing. You don’t necessarily want to hear you’re a golfer with a baseball swing (or hear you’re a baseball player with a golf swing, for that matter.) The trash talk from a 16-year-old was pro level. And since I taught myself how to play golf, of course I would have a baseball influence, But the truth hurt. ![]() Truth was, my opponent was right: I did play a lot of baseball growing up. Ruling: In NFHS, B1 is out and R1 returns to first base. His follow through on the swing comes around and hits the ball out of F2’s glove immediately after he securely catches the pitch. ![]() The comment came all the way back when I was playing a high school golf match, and a few things are in play here. Play: With a runner on first and a 1-0 count, B1 swings and misses the pitch. The author works on his right hip turn at GOLFTEC. ![]()
