I, personally, have a problem with the comparison of a golf swing to a baseball swing

I find the two similar in some fashion but totally different in many others

Lets see if I can explain myself without physics/scvientific terms and claymation models

01-- a golf swing does not involve the body motion that a baseball swing does

02-- in golf you are swinging at a stationary ball at your feet while in baseball you are swinging at a moving ball somewhere around waist high--thus for me the plane of the swing is totally distinct to each swing.

03-- the rhythm of the baseball swing is totally different than in golf--in baseball you need to react to the pitch with the body taking it cue from the brain/eye mechanism-- not so in golf

Just a few thoughts from an old baseball guy here and to cite a statement from Joe Torre who is a golf fanantic " How come I can't break 100 in golf and I could hit .300 in baseball?"-- Two totally differenty actions and I include Brain/eye connection in the term body
