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.

He fixed me! I developed the yips with my wedges and never recovered…they are like foreign objects to me and I hate(d) them…after years of duffing, shanking, chunking…all the bad stuff…listening to my friends…who BTW suck more than I do….my wife finally couldn’t take my whining and got me lessons as a gift…a self preservation move no doubt…well, I looked around … chose Jess … and we got to work…I now have confidence, a positive thought process, a way to fix things when I backslide…and a go to shot green side…I’m excited to play the game again, and highly recommend Jess, plus he’s one of the nicest people one could ask for…if you need help or want to learn the game, he’s your guy! Good luck!

I was lucky enough to find Jess who became the instructor that introduced my better half to the game of golf. He kept her interest, made it fun and maybe most importantly made her a very good golfer. After seeing this, I actually also ended up working with Jess and found that with his skill set he was also great with more experienced golfers that were working on corrections or tweaks that were needed. -- Thanks Jess - We are planning on coming back to you again to help raise our respective games and shave some additional strokes!

Jess Frank has mastered the art of teaching golf. He uses a combination of modern tech and hands on instruction to pinpoint where a player needs improvement and then works through the problems until the skill has been learned. He’s a great instructor for player of all levels and he makes learning golf fun. Jess is patient and really takes the time to know his students so that he can develop a plan tailored to their needs. My swing has improved 100 fold since starting with Jess and I know it will only get better.

In just 2 lessons Jess has already helped my game tremendously. He is professional and calm in his instruction and knows drills for every issue. He also has a slow motion camera that helps analyze your swing. With Jess’s help - I’ll be winning money from my friends in no time!

My wife and I each took a 1/2 hour lesson. Jess was able to spot exactly where we needed help and designed an exercise to get our game together. We are enjoying golf a lot more and playing more. Jess is exceptional!

Jess has a great approach based on providing an understanding of why each step makes a difference. He makes you feel very comfortable and I was amazed by the improvement from just one lesson. Definitely continuing!

Jess is the man!!!! After doing a ton of research online for golf lessons my wife found Jess Frank and purchased me a lesson for my birthday. In one hour Jess identified my problem and fixed it.... I’m not the guy that learns easily on someone explaining fixes but with the technology he uses it was easy for me to understand what I was doing wrong. After 10+ years not hitting my irons pure (or not at all) I experienced some great pure iron shots Within 30 min!!!! Thank you Jess for building my confidence and can’t wait for my next lesson!!!!! I highly recommend Jess!!! It’s not a surprise why he has the best reviews on the internet!!!

Travelled 1,500 miles to Florida with my teenage son. We took a couple lessons from Jess and noticed immediate improvements. My son almost had a hole in one and had a few 290 yards drives afterwards. Fantastic teacher!!
