Zitat des Tages über Swing:
I can remember back to my early tour days when some fellows didn't think I'd last too long. Nothing physical - they said it was my swing. Some said it was too much of a 'muscle swing' to stand the test of time. One fellow predicted I wouldn't get past 30 out there.
Swing hard, in case they throw the ball where you're swinging.
The blues tells a story in itself. It can make you happy or give you a feeling to swing.

I like using a 75-percent swing for wedge shots instead of full force.
Big doors swing on little hinges.
Walking strengthens my legs, and I swing my arms to tone my upper body.
And if you're a golfer and you watch a golf film and Matt Damon swing, and it's not great, then you're not going to believe in the golf story, you're not going to believe in the rest of the film. That's the whole movie, so if that swing looks like crap, the movie's crap.

When I was a kid, I used to listen to my Emerson radio late at night under the covers.

One thing all the way through the show to me is boring. I don't care how great the artist is. I find that if my audience is very young, and they want to hear very young songs, my show will be dominated by that. But there'll be some ballads here and there and some swing tunes.
I'm not afraid to take a swing and miss.
Life's like a ball game. You gotta take a swing at whatever comes along before you wake up and find out it's the ninth inning.

I try to keep it real simple. I try not to add a lot of frosting on what I'm doing. Just take the swing and don't muscle the swing, because if you get in the hitting position and you take the swing, I generate a lot more bat speed, and that works for me.
When things get better, there's a swing to the pendulum where things get worse for others.

I caddied for a guy who was a very good player, and he gave me a set of clubs, just a starter set: 5-iron, 7-iron, 9-iron, putter and driver. I just loved it. How I developed my swing was to just grab a club and start banging balls.
