Question

Would going to the batting cages s***w up my golf swing?

Answer 1

Yeah I think if you swing a bat too much it may affect your dialed golf swing.  However your body knows to differentiate the 2 different swing and will keep them separate in muscle memory.  However like I said, not only the swinging but the 'hand-eye coordination' gets slightly distracted from the swing you want to be focused on most, the golf swing.  Good luck.

Answer 2

Yes i do believe going to the batting cages would mess up your golf swing because i tried to play baseball and golf at the same time and i realized that my golf swing was turning to junk and it seemed like i was trying to kill every shot and i was topping about every shot so if i was you i would pick one of the two sports and stick to the one sport

Answer 3

I play hockey 6 1/2 months a year...doesn't hurt my swing much.

Answer 4

I felt that it actually helped my golf game. I felt like i was getting through the ball better.

Answer 5

They are really different so I say it might! Especially if you are trying to groove your golf swing right now.

Answer 6

That's debatable.  There are several pro baseball players who are excellent golfers.  Many are pitchers, but Albert Pujols and Ken Griffey Jr., to name a couple are fairly decent golfers.  I saw an article in a golf magazine that showed similarities in the golf swing and baseball swing.  I play softball occasionally, but I bat left handed so I wouldn't have this issue.  I'm not sure if I actually would have an issue because when I practice batting right handed, I don't see a difference in my golf swing.  It probably matters on an individual basis.

Answer 7

yeah i think it would s***w it up...but im sure if you did go you could be able to fix the golf swing very easily

Answer 8

I played college baseball at Southwest Mississippi and was a regular golfer. Scratch player by the way. As long as you practice both swings on a regular basis, going to the batting cages can only increase your yards off the tee.

Answer 9

i think it would cause u have 2 swing the baseball hard but in golf u would have 2 do it soft

Answer 10

I would definately say yes.  I used to play softball and golf in the same season and I can definately say yes it will mess up your golf swing.  At first my golf swing messed up bat swing, then as soon as i started to groove my baseball swing, my golf swing went to h**l.

There are alot of similarities in the swings, but the intricacies of the golf swing are thrown away when practicing the baseball swing.  But there is a good thing you can take away from a baseball swing is that your sheer power will go through the roof (like mine did) i just couldnt control my golf ball for a while.  (on a side note, i've given up softball and taken up golf full time, i feel like its much more rewarding)
