LIKE I DON'T MESS UP MY GOLF PLAYING CRICKET(LOL).

Absolutely not, if you play both sports one will not hinder the other. The mechanics of swinging a baseball bat are very similar to those taught to golfers today and vise-versa. The biggest difference is the angle of attack since the baseball is thrown and the golf ball is stationary. The main thing is, the hardest thing to do, in both hitting baseballs and golf balls is, keeping the eyes on the ball until either the bat or golf club makes contact with the ball.

Hope this helps

The ONLY consumer cameras that even approach what you want are a few of the higher-end Sony consumer camcorders that have the "smooth slow record" feature. Be advised that even though these camcorders are considered "high definition", when the smooth slow record" feature is invoked, the video quality is degraded (and no longer high definition).

This is a common misconception in the golf swing.
Brian Manzella explains this the best at:

You have to sign up for the forum, its free (the forum has pictures too). But I can summarize. Alot of people hear that at address you should raise your hands and then bend your wrists straight up. This is WRONG!

Try this:

Put the club out in front of you parallel to the ground, toe of the club to the sky. Bend your wrists so that the club swings backwards, but stays parallel to the ground with the toe still facing up to the sky. THIS is the correct wrist hinge you should be after.

Took me years to find this out and once I did – I went from a 15 handicap to a 6.

These tips are great for beginners, but this guy hits nothing like tiger. Tiger generates a ton of lag and hits down on the ball. this guy generates no lag and thins the ball.

You want to hit down on the ball with your irons. Once you figure out how to do that, the game gets much easier.

Al-

The most important thing in a golf swing is a nice, smooth tempo.

You should always have only one thought in your head while you are swinging, whether it be tempo, weight transfer, straight-left arm, ect.

As far as hitting the ball crisp, a smooth swing should be your #1 priority. When you are practicing, you can even count it out. 1…2…3 on the way back 1…2..3 on the way forward.

Good luck!

hi. take the shoe . right shoe . the shoemaker puts a small piece of plastic . 3 inches long . 3/4 inch hi9gh. at the back of the shoe to the sarch. this causes legs to stay stable, forces right knee to stay stable , and foot connected to rthe ground . it does work. please stay away from shoemakers in a mall just go to a small shop. a very high number of medical staff have the same thing done to thier shoes. when you tell the shoemaker what it is for. he will understand. it is a very simple illegal adjustment . the shoemaker will have you wait . cost under ten bucks. go for a walk before playing with the brace. after two months you could have it removed . there were shoes built this way early 90s . they worked so usga banned them . ken venturi, ben hogan, sam snead and byron nelson to name a few used this method . good luck . sorry spelling eyes screrwed up from cancer hack saw surgery .

Using a marker is illegal in Golf. Don’t do it. Use a natural marker like a divot that already exists.

there isn’t much lag, and the shot looks thin.

ive been playin for years and i have the same exact problem, however instead of trying to fix it I use it to my advantage. Play the hook the right way and it could work just as well.

Aim the ball slightly more to the left when you hit, at first it will feel unnatural but once you see how your ball moves it will make sense. Plus on doglegs right you will have a natural curve that will really help.

I play my hook well but when I want to hit straight I drive with a 4 iron instead of a driver. You get less distance but you get the desired accuracy. I play every week and my average is around 79. You cant argue with results
