Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I just saw the ad for the V harness with Rocco and Jimmy Ballard. Why wasn't Rocco wearing shoes?

If anyone has ever played baseball or softball you shouldnt need a training aid .Simple , you cant hit a baseball very far by swinging the end of the bat at the ball first,same goes for a golf ball.In a baseball swing (now go grab a bat) the grip or the end of the bat where your hands are always leed first they have to otherwise you'll be flipping to early and have no power simple.The best way to do this is start your regular backswing to a 3/4 position similar to where you would have your baseball bat,now put a baseball swing into it on the golf swing plane.I know its seems different because one is out in front of you on a horizontal plane and the other is more around or on a 45* angle.The other thing you have to think about is how the body and the bat move together in the swing,the same has to go with the golf club and the body, if they dont move together your  an arm swinger  and arm swingers may be able to get some good power into the ball but just think if you could get your body into it as we'll...you'd probably pick up 10-15mph ball speed and about 20-30yards.

    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
