Is Tiger Woods' Golf Swing Actually a BASEBALL Swing??? 

I've been dealing with right knee pain after a very long 18. I noticed today at the range that letting my trail knee bend and rotate forward (towards the ball) made the swing painless, and I actually hit straighter and farther. Go figure!

The swings look identical from the chest down.

Former collegiate baseball player. Connected or “one plane” swings are very similar to swinging a baseball bat. Two plane swings actually have more in common with throwing a baseball. You essentially make an athletic throwing motion of the club at the target…and the ball gets in the way.

20 years ago I had 130mph club head speed and hit 330 meter drives regularly. My swing coach told me I drove my right leg too much. Got better with my irons but lost distance of the tee.

So true been doing this for years

A big difference between the baseball swing and golf swing is you don't hit the ball with the shaft of the golf club.

Mike Malaska did a great video last week, great teacher on the similarities between baseball and golf

Jaime Cavella calls it a Moving fulcrum. Babe Ruth being an ideal subject in baseball hitting as Ben Hogan and Tiger(year 2000) were in golf. This swing, pulling with both left and right arms, keeping right arm bent through impact(heavy hit) keeps the barrel of the bat and clubface square to the target longer, than most who Push the gulf club, straightening the right arm at impact. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DsJ9vPciEqk.html

I believe hockey is a good one as well.

Baseball swing doesn't square the face. I was a fell of a baseball hitter and I have trouble squaring the face.
