It bothers me that after 8 years of watching RUclips golf help videos I finally understand the entire swing and how to produce lag. This works like a charm and you should get a medal or award for putting this video up!!!
I highly recommend this swing. I'm smoking the ball. Got me out of a too steep golf swing. Flattened my swing. No more over the top.
Nice!
Me too!
The baseball swing at address has made me a different player. I feel my body rotating the way it should and getting much better distance now. It is also helping me crush my fairway wood like never before. I love taking a few baseball swings before letting it rip!
Great simple to understand video! I’m left-handed, but played right handed my whole life because I started off with my dad‘s clubs when I found them in his garage as a teenager. I always struggled with consistency even though I’m a good athlete. But the baseball swing feels really intuitive and simple to me right handed since the ball is in the air and not on the ground. This drill has helped me a lot and especially helped teach me how to clear the hips because I naturally clear them in the baseball swing. Thanks!!
You're welcome!
Thanks for this very helpful video, Clay.
After playing 'over-the-top' golf for 40 years, I was just messing around with swinging a golf club like a baseball bat. I noticed that the transition with the baseball swing seemed to make power possible. Similar to the loop in a tennis swing.
I had always thought of the golf swing in two parts instead of one continuous motion. The exercise with the baseball swing helped me to understand what 'getting into the slot' really means. Everything changed from that point on.
Hi Larry, thanks for sharing. Nice work! Quentin | TSG Instructor
You transformed my golf game with this amazing exercise. I went from struggling to compress the ball and having a tendency of losing my shots off to the right and topping out at about 250 yrds with driver. (Overthinking entire swing). 10 mins in at the range and I was crushing awesome draws. Get my hands in a slightly lower slot smooth through the golf ball like i would swing at an outside fastball driving it to right field and rotating lead hand's knuckles down and now im having a blast and losing less balls. Shooting consistently in the 80's and i can easily feel it anytime either of my check points are off and i thought i was having fun when i was struggling to break 95 lol.
Just turned 60 and feeling it. Started doing this drill, changed to a baseball grip and went to graphite shafts - boy what a change 🤓
Nice!
This drill literally cured my swing. Nothing but long slight draws since I started doing this during practice swings.
That's awesome!! So glad to hear it!
I PUT THE BASEBALL SWING ON MY DRIVER AND IT WAS UNREAL LIKE I SAID BEST THING I HAVE USED YET THANKS
Baseball grip helped my driving also
CLAY BEST ONE I HAVE SEEN YET
this is an excellent way to think about the swing
This is very good and fun drill 🙂 I have seen many videos how baseball relates to golf, but Clay is only one who really explains how it works 👍
Thanks Jukka!
Swinging like a baseball bat is the single biggest thing that has helped my driver. It’s less things to think about and it incorporates a lot of things
Thanks for sharing!
It really helps to see the golf swing performed standing straight. I can see perfectly the moves made to get into the slot with lag. I think maybe people should learn these moves first and when they can do them , THEN bend forward at the waist into the correct posture. What people think they can see is often an illusion caused by the forward bend at the waist. Good job Clay.
Thanks Jason!
think u r right in learning the swing standing upright and after that learn to do the same thing bending forward at the waist.

Started hitting the course with baseball bats in my bag instead of golf clubs. Don't care what people say, I've had the best rounds of my life. Only need to figure how how to properly putt with a bat now.
Haha...Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Clay, you are the best
Thanks Nicolas!
As Gerry Hogan wrote, " The Hogan Manual of Human Performance: GOLF, 1991
Keep the right palm(dominant hand) facing the sky from top of BS, through impact.
Left hand dominant..back of left hand facing the sky from top of BS through impact.
One key difference with golf and other sports is that in golf you start in the down position and worry about the backswing form etc. For ex. in baseball if you were thinking about sequencing or hitting an inside pitch, an outside pitch, a high 95 mph fastball, a low pitch, a slow changeup, or punching the ball to right field, you would always start with the bat up and then figure out a way to hit the ball. If you know you don't want to come over the top and hit a glancing slice in golf, if you just start with the club where it would be at the top and then feel how do I have to swing the club from here you wont lunge over the top. So if you just get to a decent top position then try to figure out how do I swing thru from here, your body can figure out how to naturally swing thru. This can even work if you want to hit an extra big drive and you normally only swing back 3/4 of the way. Instead of thinking how do I tork back and swing back all the way past parallel, Just start there with the club at the top past parallel ( while keeping decent posture and width) then just feel how do I swing thru from here and hit the ball solid.
Hi Eric, thanks for sharing. Hope you're playing well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
For me this works really well by swing one baseball swing and then tilting for one golf swing over and over repeatedly. But it needs hundreds of repetitions to bed in properly.
Ladies and gentlemen it really is this simple! Take a few swings standing up to get the feel and then assume your golf posture and rip away.
Hi Ron, that's exactly right! Thanks for the comment. Hope you're playing great! ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
Tq mr clay...ur tips and video very usefull...and i learned a lot..cant wait to⛳⛳⛳
Hi Shaida, glad you liked the video. Play well ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
Great video and very helpful comparison to the baseball swing. One question - is it possible to hit a golf ball consistently starting with the club at the top of the backswing (similar to the start of the baseball swing)?
Hi Gary, I'm sure it is possible but I feel it would be much more difficult. Grounding the club gives you a sense of where the ground is and where the ball is. It also allows you to more easily generate lag in the downswing because of the momentum of the club head in the backswing. Play well ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
This is a nice swing it might work for you but everybody has there own unique swing u just have to find it
100% agree.
Thanks for a great video. I fully understand the theory, I can shallow the club, I am not sliding left, the swing plane is from the inside but the ball goes low and left and hooking. I have tried to not turn the club face closed but it makes no difference. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
For me the most important lesson is that I need to rotate my left upper arm in relation to my body. That is pretty automatic in the base ball swing.
Hi amfohr, you are exactly right. That's how you square up the face when you get forward shaft lean at impact. Play well ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
It's so crazy man, I do the same thing...perfect baseball swing (well not perfect of course but you know what I mean)...i just dont understand why kts so hard to translate into a golf swing it's the craziest thing
This. Shit. Works.
Glad it works! Thanks for watching 👍
The right forearm and elbow feel kind of in the way in the downswing is that right? The feel kind of holding of the club
Hi, if you're feeling really crowded in the downswing then it's likely that your hips are moving toward the ball in the downswing. It's also possible that you're over rotating your hips and you're getting stuck in the downswing. It's really hard to say without seeing your swing. Play well ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
A bit of an oversimplification. There are alot of things someone can take away from the more natural swinging of a baseball bat, but baseball players attempting to golf are almost always very over the top due to the right elbow staying up. When that right elbow "dips" down in a baseball swing that is no bueno but seems to be an essential part of shallowing the club in a golf swing.
The difference is the golf ball isnt out in front
Exactly. I've never understood these drills, they seem completely pointless. The only way to swing the golf club like a baseball bast is to stand way back from the ball, the opposite to the pros
2:12 height, not "heighth"
I'm terrible with grammar. I had to google to see if heighth was even a word. Haha. Looks like I'm in the clear.
Who cares. He’s giving us great golf instruction and that’s what you’re worried about. What a classless move
Then why don't you just teach the baseball swing! Everyone can do it and NOBODY can do a "golf" swing. There is a PGA 75 year old Pro in Florida that's been teaching the baseball swing and won 37 amatuer tournaments. He even gives golf lessons to professional baseball players.
What is his name? Where is he located?
Alright. I guess it’s about time for me to order a tennis racket for golf...🤦♂️
haha...it's not required but it can help visualize the face
tennis is not golf, and golf is NOT baseball
The common fallacy is that the baseball swing is similar to a golf swing. Yeah, you hold something in you hands and swing it. After that, there’s not much similarity with hand to clubface relativity, release, hand/wrist/forearm power sources etc.
There is a reason he can’t even hit the baseball in the beginning when he is trying to swing a baseball bat like a golf club. Stop using this parallel- you are screwing up the perception of what happens with the club.
Hi, thanks for watching. While I disagree, I do appreciate your comment. Hope you're playing great! Quentin | TSG Instructor
