Better Golf through Baseball!

Posted on April 15, 2016

One of my favorite ways to teach golf to my students is through comparing other sports to golf. For your video today, I am going to show you how the side arm baseball throw can help your golf game. Your golf swing happens in under one second and this will help you move your body better. Since golf and baseball are both side-on games it’s great to see the comparison. Imagine yourself as a pitcher and make an under arm side arm pitch. Next, grab a golf ball and hold it in your fingers of your trail arm. Go ahead and pivot back putting your trail arm in a backswing position. Your right arm should be bent and your palm will be facing the sky.

Next, make a side arm (under arm) throwing motion. You can throw the ball down the fairway or at a target. Notice yourself moving towards the target, your hips turning, weight moving to your front foot and your trail arm fully extending. You will also feel how your right shoulder tilts down and you actually side bend similar to a golf swing. This is a motion of tilting and turning all by a simple move of throwing the ball under arm. In the video below watch how simple you can make the golf motion by imagining and practicing in this manner.

You can greatly effect your ball striking by creating a motion. Your motion is fluid with no “hit” at the ball. You will be able to hit through the ball. Watch all of the greatest players in the world and you will see a fluid motion with no thought of the ball. Watch this video and you will see a motion that allows a good pivot with the shoulders, hips and knees. The shoulders and hips open properly on the downswing with no thought of doing. Your trail foot will move properly. Your trail arm will go from being bent to straight and your trail wrist will retain the bend. Your head will appear to be staying down but we know from 3D you are turning, tilting and extending.

Most importantly, your head will move on the pivot. Many of my students come to me trying to keep their head down. Your head will stay in place by moving your body correctly. There are so many wonderful golf swing motions you will garner from this video.

Jess is a great instructor! As a beginner golfer, I learned a lot in just one lesson. We met at the driving range and he instantly knew how to sculpt the lesson based on my hitting a few balls. I highly recommend and will be returning soon.

Spent an hour with Jess..really liked his style of teaching. The use of video to show me my swing, coupled with a good drill to help me shallow my downswing..was just what I needed. I'm hitting shots much straighter and farther..thanks, Jess!

THANK YOU JESS!!!! I'm a former collegiate golfer but lost a lot of my fundamentals due to years of not golfing nor having time to practice. I was hesitant to pick it back up again but as soon as I met Jess and had my first lesson, my ambivalence vanished. Jess very simply explains corrective improvements while focusing on building muscle memory. He is supportive, personable and amiable. If you are considering trying golf for the first time, or picking it back up after 15 years like myself, go see Jess. Fair warning, he'll have you addicted!

Had my first lesson with Jess today and I can't thank him enough. He noticed I needed a grip adjustment which led to an absolute change in my stroke. Pretty crazy to see such a major change all from a tiny correction that he pointed out.I highly recommend a lesson with Jess. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much!

I cannot begin to say enough good things about the instruction I received from Jess. We did it through email. I would send him videos and he would send me back instructions to help me improve. I was at the point of hanging up my clubs but with Jess's help I am playing some of the best golf I have played in many years. I could not have done it without him.

I have been taking lessons from Jess for several years now. He is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the game, from the physical side as well as the mental side. His communication skills really set him apart from other teaching professionals. Not only has he helped me drop numerous strokes off my game, but he is great with junior golfers as well. My sons love going to see him because he really makes the game fun. They have literally fallen in love with the game, so much so that they play in tournaments almost every weekend and want to be professional golfers. As a former collegiate golfer and mini tour player I would highly recommend Jess to anyone who wants to improve their golf game!

Jess is a fantastic individual who provides his clients with excellent golf instruction. On top of that, he is a highly motivated and supportive individual that can work with new and or experienced golfers.He has transformed my golf swing into a much more natural and fluent process. With the help of Jess I have been able to add power to my shot, improve my mechanics, and find more fairways.

I had barely picked a golf club before my first lesson with Jess Frank. By the end of the hour I was swinging away and hitting balls with consistent accuracy. My husband, an experienced golfer, came along for the lesson and was amazed at how well I was doing. Jess started by explaining the mechanics of golf, going over each club's purpose and encouraging me every step of the way. My husband even picked up a few tips to improve his own game. Jess is a great teacher and I can't wait to learn more. Thank you Jess!

Jess has been a fantastic coach and has helped me immensely. I have seen a drastic change in my ball positioning, swing path, striking of the ball and overall knowledge of shot selections, as well as my chipping and putting. He has tremendous knowledge and pinpoint my problems immediately. He made some adjustments to my grip and swing which completely fixed my wicked slice and right arm swing over the top. I am hitting the ball much more consistently and farther, and seeing the results as my handicap continues to get lower.
