In addition to being a MLB Hall of Famer, World Series broadcaster John Smoltz is also better than scratch on the course, carrying a +1.5 index. Perhaps even more impressively, Smoltz says he has never even taken a lesson until recently, when he worked on getting his right hand through the ball.

Certainly there's vertical force. But i'm trying to keep a little bit of bend in those knees. And you'll notice the club. Exits. Nice and low around through my left shoulder.

Smoltz was the more dominant pitcher -- more strikeouts, harder to hit. But Glavine had nearly 1,000 more innings as Smoltz battled some injuries (missing all of the 2000 season) and spent three seasons and part of a fourth as a closer.

118 mph The first innovation was the switch from wood shafts to graphite and metal woods, which have made the golf clubs lighter allowing golfers to swing them faster. Jack Nicklaus, however, was recorded at the age of 58 with a swing speed of 118 mph (Source).

In 1963, Nicklaus won a long drive contest at the PGA Championship with a blow that travelled some 341 yards. That must have been extremely impressive at the time. Lee Trevino once said he was convinced that Jack, given modern equipment, conditions and training would be able to hit the ball 400 yards.

Glavine, Smoltz, Maddux.

The "Big Three" is considered by many to be the greatest pitching trios of all time. From 1993 to 2002, they combined for 453 wins to 224 losses with 4,616 strikeouts.

What is Tiger Woods' swing speed? Tiger Woods' average golf swing speed clocks in just over 120 mph. This is closer to tour average now versus near the upper end of club head speeds you see on the tour these days which approach 130 mph.

Will increase your swing speed. In the release. Rory is deserving of his top score in the swing index. And watch as we roll into the release.

Nicklaus says his average drive is about 220 yards (he does not believe he can carry the ball 200 yards) and his club head speed is down in recent years from about 96 mph to 82 mph.

Don Drysdale & Sandy Koufax, Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers This might still be the most famous pair of pitchers ever. Yes, they were great, but the Dodgers in the 1960s also got as much national attention as any team ever has.

Jim Palmer and Mike Cuellar The 1970 and 1971 Baltimore Orioles were outstanding in terms of pitching. To say that the team had a one-two punch is a bit of an understatement. However, the front end of the rotation was quite impressive, especially in 1970.
