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 the best teacher ! I had a 17 HC when I started lessons with him a few months ago. I shot my lowest round of 82 last week and breaking 90 almost every time I play now. Thanks Jess !

Had contact issues and a horrendous slice. First lesson with him he fixed my contact and had me hitting my driver with a draw at the end of the hour. Next lesson I resorted back to my slice. He recorded me and put me side by side to a pro and showed me my issues. I'm a feel player and cannot mentally change my swing I said I needed a feel. We found the feel and I can hit my driver straight with perfect contact after the second lesson. I played and was driving the fairways and on the green in reg with my irons. Great coach esspecially for me whose a skeptic.

Jess is an excellent golf teacher. He quickly identifies what I need to work on at the beginning of each lesson. He keeps it simple by helping me find the feeling of a good swing without using too much technical jargon. After a handful of lessons my ball striking is the best it’s ever been. More importantly, I’m having the most fun playing golf since I started 20 years ago !

Not only have I enjoyed the 2 lessons I have had with Jess but I have also seen very positive improvement in my golf swing. Simple approach and a calm demeanor makes a enjoyable lesson. Give him a try, you’ll like the results.

I had my first lesson today with Jess after not picking up a club in many years. He very accurately evaluated my driving, short game and putting skills and made some great suggestions for improvement. Within a few minutes I was actually driving down the middle, chipping onto the green and sinking putts. It was a confidence builder for sure and I look forward to my next lesson.

As a new golfer, I believe it is important to find a golf instructor that is knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, professional, and fun. That is Jess to a T! He has quickly identified my flaws and provided me with simple instructions and drills that I have incorporated and continue to practice. I highly recommend Jess Frank Golf Academy and excited to continue to see my progression. Oh and hopefully I’ll be kicking some butt on the golf course soon. :)
