The following pre-drill is a great tip for making a perfect golf swing seem as smooth as pro golfers, and baseball players.

Over a single day I made a great connection between the perfect golf swing and a regular baseball swing based on two sport programs I had seen. The first was a baseball highlights show which had a brief segment about baseball players attending a golf event for charity. He remarked that many baseball players enjoy their golfing as they often find that they are long-drivers off the tee.

So, two hours later, highlights from the PGA tour were being shown and it showed Miguel Angel Jimenez doing his pre-shot routine on a fairway drive. What got me was that he used a baseball style swing, with the club head a good one to two foot above the ground (at the bottom of the swing). It looks like he uses it to ‘groove’ the swing – i.e. to find his rhythm.

So I gave it a try the next time I was at the range and can confirm that it helps loosen up the golf swing making it less constrained.

Why Does This Work So Well?

The perfect golf swing and the ideal baseball swing both involve some striking similarities in order to generate power:

- Both require a strong stable stance around which the rest of the body pivots.

- The core muscles of the body twist during the back swing and are the basis of making a powerful swing (not the arms).

- If the body muscles are tensed up then the transmission of power (from the legs to the core muscles to the arms and finally down through the club) are constrained. A pre-shot drill that focuses on doing a loose golf swing is the ideal way to encourage a smooth rhythmic golf swing.

The perfect golf swing cannot be attained over night but one thing is certain – using a golf swing that is constrained and fails to use the core muscle group will not deliver the full amount of power to a golf swing. Performing the baseball drill is a simple pre-shot routine to relax the muscle group and establish a groove to your golf swing.
