The bottom tip of the ball should be aligned directly under your chin. You should place your dominant hand on the laces of the ball, similar to how a quarterback grips the football. The offhand is the guide hand and is placed on the middle of the ball opposite the dominant hand. The middle finger should be aligned parallel to the seam of the ball, pressing the palm into the ball and forcing it into the power hand. You need to roll and cock the power hand, which forms a slight bend in the wrist, and turns the laces of the ball toward the ground. The placement of the dominant hand is crucial. First, place the first knuckle of the index finger across the seam of the ball. Second place the middle finger and ring knuckles between the 2nd and 3rd laces of the ball, keeping them close together. Thirdly, place the little finger across the bottom seam of the ball. Lastly, place the thumb around the ball, forming a natural "V" with the index finger and thumb. The placement of the guide hand is also crucial. First, place the middle finger down the seam of the ball. The height of the middle finger on the seam helps determine…

These 2 graphs suggests to me that when the loft angle is low, the gravitational potential energy of the club is more likely to be converted to the linear kinetic energy of the ball, whereas when the loft angle is low, the energy is more likely to be converted to the rotational kinetic energy of the ball.…
Even so, a lot of newcomers and intermediates do not have their golf swing on plane. This golf swing becomes an action which gets embedded into their muscles’ memory which becomes increasingly difficult to unlearn and turns into a bad habit. Not getting the golf swing on plane is the primary cause of not striking straight – slicing, hooking, pulling & pushing shots. And you’ll uncover that you’ll start to compensate with your alignment because you get good at regularly generating one or two of these types of misses. This leads to being punished on the course when you actually hit the golf ball…
The first step in the process is gripping the club, which influences the amount of control that is obtained during contact with the ball. A fundamentally sound grip helps the player create power and good feeling at the same time. Start by holding the left hand palm up and placing the grip of the club into the palm in a way that it runs from the base of the pinkie through the middle of the index finger. Then, clasp the left hand around the shaft so that the club is comfortable but stable in the hand. After the left hand is firmly positioned, completion of the grip can be accomplished by placing the right hand below the left in a similar manner. The right hand can be connected to the left in one of three ways: the overlapping grip, the interlocking grip, or the ten-finger grip. In the overlapping grip, the right pinkie overlaps the left index finger, while the right pinkie interlocks with the left index finger during the interlocking grip. The interlocking grip does not allow the club to twist while swinging, which positively affects the impact of the ball. My personal grip, and the most comfortable grip in my opinion, is the ten-finger grip. This is where all ten fingers are on the club with no overlapping or interlocking of fingers occurring. These instructions are…

Jacob states that in order to have control of your strike it is beneficial “to hit the ball against the left wrist, never past it”. Furthermore, some caution should be made to avoid a pushed putt where the left wrist blocks the tapping action of the right hand. Jacobs continues to describe the motion that results in a straight hit through the ball as follows: “the club should start straight back, swing slightly inside, then return along the same inside-to-straight-through path”. This descriptive image is helpful to visualize how to make direct contact with the ball. In class, I observed that the balls I hit tend to travel slightly to the right of the hole. I now recognize that the reason for this behavior was because my strikes swing straight…
Second you want to hold the ball with both hands at chest level because if not at chest level it feels very awkward might not be a spiral, next make sure your feet are shoulder width apart because you can trip on your own feet and make sure your body is perpendicular to your target…
Crinkle, winkle, finkle. Finally! I have had that da@& plastic on for years! Today is finally the day that I am going to play in the game. My parents will be so proud that I finally got in. Dad was the ball for the 1987 World Series and mother was the ball for the 1991 World Series. I am no hero like them, but I still made it. Today I am the ball for the Twins and Tigers game. I do not know if I am anxious or scared! I wonder if it will hurt when they hit me? Will it feel soft and smooth when I roll on the grass? Well only time can tell.…

Now that the right area is reached with your feet behind the ball, it's time to master the platform. The platform is the region between your wrists and elbows; which is where the ball will contact. With your arms stretched out, face your palms toward each other and thumbs facing toward the sky. While closing the fingers on one hand to the palm, cover your other hand around the other still maintaining both thumbs facing upward. Since both hands are in the correct form, place your thumbs down on top of the gripped hand. It's significant for your thumbs to be lined up precisely next to each other. With your wrists facing down, arms locked linear, and hands level with your wrists; angle elbows moderately inward without…
Do you think baseball is athletic? Do you know why its athletic? Well if you believe it's not I will give you various reasons why it is athletic. Personally I believe its athletic but, before I talk about why its athletic let me talk about a little bit of its history. The man who created the sport is Abnir Doubleday. He created the sport in 1839. In 1845 the first rules were created by the baseball club known as the knickerbockers. Even though Abnir Doubleday invented the sport people called Alexander Cartwright the father of baseball.…
