The Secret of Golf edited by George Peper

Well, i'm no science buff but i do have some goold ole common sense:

You can't compare hitting a baseball (a moving object at anywhere from 50-100mph) to hitting a golfball which is STATIONARY.

Also, a golf ball compresses A LOT more than a baseball does. So, regarding newton's law of equal/opposite reaction, the "opposite" reaction from hitting the baseball (left arm pinching against the torso) is going to be a lot more than a golf...

AS,
The baseball people have no clue. Just as in golf you can hit
(Pujhols, Arod) or swing (Griffey). The baseball sites are still stuck in positions and one swing fits all methods. They do not even understand the "flail". I truly believe that aspects of TGM (as Homer suggested in his book) can be applied to baseball.

Very interesting. Not too sure about them being clueless though.
Need to give it a closer look but on first inspection they would appear to be on to it.
Linear, Rotational, Circle Path, Linear Path, Torques. Sounds vaguely familiar to me.
What do you think Annikan?.

Tongue,
I have been posting on Batspeed and other baseball boards long before there was a TGM board. The arguments go round and round with little science. Similar to golf boards without TGM knowledge.

Thanks mb, you probably saved me yet another wasted trip into the forest!.
Looked interesting from a first glance though. Always looking for clues!.
