Both arms ARE extended when you contact the ball.
Spieth's aren't. He keeps an angle in his left arm well through the swing.



Obviously it'll be more or less flexed for different shots.

ok... do you think hitting a tee ball is complex? notice i said complex, and not difficult.

it's really no different except the ball isn't elevated. people just think it's hard cause they're trying to hit the ball instead of swing the club.

how's your practice swing? i bet it's beautiful, in rhythm, all that good stuff, right? not complex at all. if you make that same swing on the ball, it doesn't make it any more complex to execute.

Just depends on your hand eye coordination. Sorry you got shitty hands.

not anywhere close. the body in a baseball swing is "in a barrel" and the swing is very compact. otherwise you couldn't even get around on a 90 MPH fastball. and of course the grip is completely different. in a golf swing you take a much longer back swing and hold your body back until you break your wrists and shift your weight. the ball isn't moving so you can use your full swing. i'll agree they are similar but they are not the same.

I love when someone breaks 80 and thinks he has golf figured out. Give it a rest op.

Grandad... respectully, you don't know what you're talking about.


And what does the way you swing a club have to do with your grip?

You should probably look up fundamental in the dictionary.

The underlying fundamental behind the step is the same as planting your foot in golf, to post the lead leg in order to brace the body for a hard pivot in the opposite direction.

And cute pic but Spieth doesn't chicken wing it with a driver.

Ha! I'm talking about the people who've already commented. Which doesn't include you, cause you know everything I've said is accurate.

I'll do $10 a hole for you, sir.

See many pro golfers hold the club like a bat? What about cupping the wrist at address? You have got to be trolling bc you are so far off on so many posts.
