As I have said before, when I was growing up in Pasadena/South Houston Tx. , if you were caught playing golf or soccer on a field, you greatly increased your chances of getting your ass kicked. Baseball was ok as being sufficiently masculine one could say.
And as regards someone approximating my physical stature, football was essentially mandatory, i.e., "son, with your body you HAVE to play football." And I did.
But yrs. later, in my pursuit of trying to understand how the body works in the context of swinging a bat, I found any number of golf instructors that I thought had a MUCH better understanding how humans swing an object [any object really] compared to most baseball instructors.
I ended up buying at least 10 bks. on golf biomechanics, and I spent a considerable amount of time watching instructors teach on the golf channel.
This process goes back to over 15 yrs. ago, and I will say that this investigation into golf instruction WAS helpful [I recently mentioned the retired physician Jeff Mann and his very thoughtful/thorough info].
All that is to say this: If I had a son or daughter that I wanted to help to develop a good baseball/softball swing, I would very much encourage learning to swing a golf club.
I'll add a good ex. of a young guy [3 yrs. old] who is looking pretty damn good at creating the basic "tilt and turn" unloading that I advocate/teach.
