    I think the number one thing that sends ex-baseball players down the wrong path immediately in golf is a swing coach saying “it’s nothing like baseball, forget that”. Watching your videos this year has brought me back to thinking of the golf swing like all my years of baseball training. I’m by no means going on tour but I’ve had a much higher % of shots in my rounds that just feel absolutely amazing. Instead of leaving a round thinking about that ONE shot that will keep me coming back, I’m laughing at the one or two shanks where I just completely got out of sequence or something, like swinging early at a ball on the outside edge of the plate and popping it up to 2nd base haha.

    Milo, the first time I saw a down the line view of a pro golfer at impact I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was maybe a couple decades later that I saw that all good ballstrikers were in essentially the same position at impact. Your instruction is excellent and the drills you come up with really gets a person to "feel those feels" of the good strikers.

  • @ReSourceEnergetics

    I think that the trouble getting the shoulders open is primarily due to flawed ideas of how to do it. This is a great video that exposes a lot of these issues. Many people try to open their shoulders but if you do it too early it causes a stall. Hard for people to understand the sequence timing is probably the most important part of the swing (other than setup fundamentals).

    I think the main difference between turning into the ball like swinging a baseball bat and coming over the top usually awkwardly in golf is that in baseball you are swinging the whole bat thru while a golfer swinging way over the top is trying to hit the ball with the clubhead so they are not swinging the whole club thru they are just swinging the clubhead at the ball. This would be like trying to hit a baseball off the very end of the bat, even worse in golf the clubhead is at or beyond the end of the shaft and off to the side of the shaft. So in baseball you are swinging the whole bat where thru muscle memory the sweet spot will hit the ball not the very end or nub of the bat. When you do that most of the bat is being swung INSIDE of the ball so most of your force is turning and swinging thru inside of the ball. So its more like you are squaring up the whole length of the bat or club than swinging the end or clubhead and just trying to square up the clubhead. So in golf your arms are attached to your shoulders which are inside and above the ball, so your whole swing is inside and above the ball, only the very end pf the club, the clubhead, reaches the ball. So your forces you impart on the club are swinging thru inside and above the ball not right at the ball.

    I know you are a multisport athlete and seems like side on sports are your thing. Tennis serve which may be even harder than the golf swing is also shoulder over shoulder while most spin out in a circle. The forehand is the same with the left shoulder being replaced by the right for a right-handed player. The commonality in dynamic movements is a lot of fun to explore.

    Hi Milo! I’ve watched a bunch of Malaska videos and just saw some with you and checked out your channel. It looks like you two agree on a bunch but maybe not on the transition. You seem to be more about an athletic rotation and he talks about pulling the arms down. I know it’s a blend and neither of you disagree on the fact that the body is involved for power. Your swing looks great and has a ton of power and I feel like excellent compression is something I’m missing with L to L type drills. I can feel what you’re talking about but think I must be doing something wrong since it feels bad for my lower back when I do your drill where I hold an alignment stick past the end of the butt of the club and keep it from touching me through the swing.. Can you comment on where your philosophy is a little different than Mike’s?

  • @DocHolliday219

    Excellent stuff. Would you say it's harder to do that sort of swing with very high hands at the top (lead arm way above shoulder plane)? I tend to lift clup late in downswing so I find it hard to "re-connect". Guys like DJ have relatively high hands and hit a fade so I guess It would tend promote a more accross path logically. When I do a very slow and pieced-out "flatter" (for me) backswing (feels super short to me) and rotate around (feels under) my spine, it works amazingly well. just can't seem to get my backswing in control.. It's always been long and loose.. Runs on. focusing on that right now.

  • @radinho4753
    @radinho4753 Рік тому

    what mechanisms in the swing do you use to square the club face? Any time I feel the arms/hands reacting to the body opening up, the hands get late and the face stays 5-10 degrees open. The harder I swing, the more this happens - which leads to having nice fades for a 9 iron but terrible push-fades with the driver. I'm a 2 handicap golfer who often loses a ball per round out of bounds. The driver slice appearing is keeping me from the 60s.

      @@MiloLinesGolf so alongside the feeling of the body starting before the hands, the wrists should have their independent feeling of rolling into the ball and exiting low, i assume? Golf's just a tough game then. Most instructors say that getting set in a picture perfect position at p4 allows you to just turn into the ball as hard as you want, but dont mention the role of the hands. I can surely turn into the ball with a lot of power and be 10 degrees open lol.

    To keep the head at position far behind the ball is basically vital to make a correct and powerful swing.
    However , if we put anybit of attention at any where above the waist, the head would be pushed forward with a standing lower body.
    @5:45, the warm up of Si Woo King is misleading, his real swing is like this:
    ua-cam.com/video/t7ntIST8KB8/v-deo.htmlsi=8NYfLC54JsK3QBIh
    At downswing, he even move his head further away to the ball before impact.
    The swing of baseball batting is also inconsistent to the real. The baseball hitter doesn't rotate the upper body too much, they put the bat vertically right before the body, because they don't want to waist time to drag the bat back into the needed running path.
    As my opinion, there is no any rotation is helpful for golf swing, just the SIDE BEND and SHIFT along the club head path is meaningful!

    I have watched a lot of baseball swing coach tutorials and none of them swing the way you do. Most notably is the way they teach the arms. Your arms extended through the baseball swing. Every baseball swing coach teaches that the elbows are bent through impact where full extension doesn’t occur until well after the ball. I assume this is a speed thing since a baseball is coming down the line at over 100mph. They actually teach sort of a spin out method. I’ll send you a video link. I don’t think baseball and golf swings are the same at all and I think comparing the two is outdated. If the similarities were close, you would have pro golfers that could hit a baseball like a pro and pro baseball players hitting like pro golfers. Although I’m sure there are some exceptions, my statement holds for 99% of players.

    • @MiloLinesGolf

      There are a few differences but many similarities. How many big league hitting coaches have you spent time with to make a blanket statement about what is being taught? I happen to give lessons to a few big league hitting coaches and have spent many hours talking swing theory with them and we find lots of crossover. There are many professional baseball players that hit the golf ball like professional golfers only much farther, problem is to be good at golf one must master more than hitting bombs which is why quite a few of the top Long Drivers in the world are former baseball players.
