This is a great swing tip to follow. This is the ben hogan way of swinging the club. Its simple and repeatable. Im now breaking 80 consistently with this swing and im already 63 years old😊
I once had a golf lesson from Randel Vines. He told me to do exactly this and it changed my golf game forever. No more complicated swing thoughts. Thanks for the reminder.
This idea of thinking of the golf swing as the baseball swing is the single best tip I’ve heard of. And I’ve heard of a lot of them. I don’t need to run 10 swing thoughts through my head when swinging at a baseball. Brilliant
I worked this out some time ago and it has made such a difference. Just swing the club like you would a baseball bat and everything else will follow. Your body will turn, you will use your legs more, your right elbow will stay tucked in, you'll watch the ball and your arms will extend to the follow through.
i noticed this also. My elbow doesn't fly at all when I use this grip. I think because the wrist become locked and stable there isn't anywhere for the elbow to go except in the correct swing plane
The secret of the Baseball Swing is keeping the right ellbow tucked to your body. But: do not follow the clubhead with your eyes as shown here but stay down at the tee. Makes all the difference in precision.
This my friend is one of the finest videos ever made I spoke to a pro baseball player the other day and I show them this and he said that's the way I hit
Great advice...literally it makes so much sense...I just envision the ball as a low pitch that I have to put in play...swing path is great everytime (still need club face control tho) but this is the most logical way to correct swing path
The lower body movements yes but most good hitters have there elbow up not down they make moves with their hands to get in lag position power hitters are elbow up I grew up in pro baseball and know this to be true
Great drill,I,m convinced now the baseball action is the best drill to practice regularly,unfortunately i,ve been trying others and getting myself into a muddle i tried it before but should have persevered with it,so it,s baseball action from now on.S/j,i,m out.
Hi Sydney..thanks for the comment....glad to hear you are a fan of the Baseball Drill, it really does work and with lots of practice you will see some great results. I actually just did this drill this afternoon with a group of golfers in Portugal.....they are now big fans too! Cheers Ross 👍
Just swing the club, like a baseball bat. Don't pull don't push, instead throw the club around the circle, using the whole club, like a baseball bat. This will negate, all the useless swing thoughts, that are peddled online!!!!
Nice Try but not quite... Striding into the left side just as you would when hitting a baseball is what you really need to do when hitting a golf ball... It really is a simple move but gets lost in all the golf instruction...
30 years of golfing and TODAY I just hear of this drill. Can’t wait to try it tonight because my golf game sucks!!! Thanks!!

Excellent idea Ross, and thanks for leaving the blooper in! Shows that you are truly human.

Tks for this. I’m 56 never played any sports. Trying to learn to drive. This really helps.
I like how you instruct to swing gradually lower- I will try this at the range and on the course. Thanks
This is a great video!! The more it feels like a baseball swing the better the ball goes. You hit through the ball.

Thank you
Ben Hogan studied good baseball players actions! i think at some time he said the golf swing is a baseball swing on the ground.!
Lmao 😂. Has he ever realized that he left the first part in the video??? Hahaha
Oooops!!! I’m glad I didn’t swear too loudly!!!! 😜
This my friend is one of the finest videos ever made I spoke to a pro baseball player the other day and I show them this and he said that's the way I hit
Thanks for the nice comment Howie, i appreciate it....hope this Practice Drill helps you lots....all the best, Ross 👍👍👍
Speaking of baseball.......what are your thoughts in using a 10 finger grip instead of overlapping or interlocking?
I have a bad wrist, I can’t do the interlocking. I use the 10 finger.

Who cares how the video starts. This swing concept works! Very simple! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the comment Robby, hope this practice drill helps you hit lots of great golf shots :-) All the best, R
“Glitch in the matrix captured on video” should be the title of the video, 30 million views guaranteed.
Jimenez does this knee hight in his practice swing great tip👍⛳
Great drill and demo : Thanks Ross.
Glad you like it....thanks for the comment :-)
Thank you.
Es increíble como este ejercicio te transmite sensación, felicitaciones!!!
Thank you!
Cmon Ross..... You can do this.
When I do a level turn my head moves off the ball. Your head came off the ball in your final clip.
Very good
Great video, Great blooper
You make it look so easy. I can't use a driver to save my life.
Looks like u have to use a strong grip to do this well ?
Hi ! Do you need a stronger grip for a baseball type golf swing?
Take 2 take 3 😂😂👍 love it
Classic!
75-80% of your speed comes from your hands, arms and wrists.
The lower body movements yes but most good hitters have there elbow up not down they make moves with their hands to get in lag position power hitters are elbow up I grew up in pro baseball and know this to be true
(rofl) I like the start!!!!!
Ooops, I thought I had cut that bit off 😳 Luckily I didn't say or do anything rude!!! 👍
