Have some fun learning how to hit a ball! Yesterday I shared a Golf Digest article about weight shift. I asked the question, why do so many athletes have trouble shifting their weight properly in golf? There was a reply that you shouldnt compare baseball and tennis because the ball is moving in those sports. Not necessarily. There are times when someone has to initiate the motion.......like, the pitcher in baseball, serving a tennis ball, tee ball, a free throw in basketball.... I have told students (with any sense of athletics) for years, if I asked you to meet me and we threw a baseball or softball for a bit, then played tee ball a bit, tennis, hit some hockey pucks and some golf balls, you ought to recognize 3 common denominators. WHAT ARE THEY? And the question still remains, WHY DO GOLFERS HAVE TROUBLE SHIFTING THEIR WEIGHT when they can do it in other sports?
