When I took up golf, I tried this same motion. It never quite worked (now I think it didn't work because I was still aiming the knife at the pitcher).
robertrex....

Baseball is played on a horizontal plane while golf is played on an inclined plane.

Trying to perform your 'knife' drill in golf has given you a very powerful roundhouse indeed.

Per 7-13: "Keep that Right Shoulder not only "back" but also "down"...or you will "run out of Right Arm" before the Hands reach Impact Position- an automatic Throwaway (7-14,8-6)"

No wonder there is no follow through per 6-H-C and 8-11.

Per 2-N-0: "There must be an Underhand Pitch motion and Feel. If there isn't you are "Roundhousing"..."

Would love to write more, but am headed out the door to D-A-N-C-E!
