I've played baseball and always thought golf was hitting a stationary ball with a stick and the ground is what you didn't want to hit fat into.
Jackie Burke served up the whoa that swinging a club is like throwing an underhandy sidearm baseball pitch, where it's about the fingers and not the hand. And the ground is key as it is when pitching, where it's the platform to launch you, and then brace to stop and drive that energy up the body through the arms and fingers to the ball. It's in the fingers. It's surprisingly similar to flycasting as well. I never thought of these aspects of the golf swing. Love that neurochemical gush from a new flush of awesomeness. Better than RedBull.
I've had this whole shift weight right (for me) then left thing backwards. It's not about moving weight. It's about what you do that drives weight right and then left. And why.
Note to self: get re-acquainted with the ground, and get the grip right. Everything else will happen later in between.
