It's been my experience that the two run hand in hand, but aren't really linked. I've seen some good baseball players who couldn't hit the ball if it were the size of a softball on the tee. And, I"ve seen some that used a baseball type swing and could split the fairway every time. Putting? Chipping? A different story altogether and one of the reason I attempted to provide that caveat. What strikes me about baseball and that ball being hit versus golf is you can mishit a baseball and it still be a playable ball...hell, even a quality hit for a base. A mishit ball in golf? More often than not, BIG trouble. Tennis, eh? Makes me wonder how that would translate with racquetball experience?
I mostly fished alone when I did fish. The best fishermen I know, and most serious fishermen, do also.
In golf you are hitting a round ball with a squared clubface. In baseball you are hitting a round ball with a round bat. Much less percentage of surface area for a sweet spot.
Go, now go back to the bottom of the previous page and edit your other lost, like this one, cause you posted without a comment. Very telling who’s the hopeless one to have a discussion with. lmao
Which is why I was saying golf would be harder. You're looking at 50% of a sweet spot in baseball simply due to the dimensions. And that's not including the club vs bat. On the club, about the size of a nickel (closer to a dime.) In baseball, we're talking width along the bat and the height of the sweet spot as well. Then again, dimension between 1st and 3rd versus that of your fairways (green arrows) and out of bounds.
I suck at racquetball too. I only ever played because I had found a racquet somewhere and a few buddies knew I had one. They would try to talk me into playing when they couldn't find anybody else. And you can have good results from mishitting a golf ball. At least I did once. On a short par 3 hole at the Webb Park course the green placement is only a few feet from the corner where cars turn left off College Dr onto S Foster Dr. I hit my tee shot and missed the green and the ball landed in the street just as a car was passing by. The ball bounce up and glanced off the car, popped up in the air back over the fence and onto the green Made a short putt for the bird instead of having to take a penalty stoke if the car hadn't been there.
