A Day With Dahlin: Sabres Embedded

Recommended Posts

Really tracks when Dahlin admits that after an early day/round of golf, his shot feels a bit "off" at the rink later that same day. Krebs, I think, tries to salvage some slack by suggesting it helps with the hips. But the bottom hand, they all agree. Too much bottom hand on a golf shot to translate to the ice. 

It's not crazy to actually question if in-season golf is potentially detrimental to certain pro athletes; I'm thinking of hockey and baseball most prominently. 

What it takes to refine a golf swing is NOT aligned with what it takes to dial in a hockey slap shot. 

Terrible analogy: have you ever gone to a hatchet throwing establishment? If so, have you noticed that everything you know about throwing a fastball or a football will actually make you a terrible hatchet thrower? Similar dichotomy. Throwing a hatchet DOES in fact resemble throwing a traditional curve ball, however. You mustn't break the wrist, turns out. It's all elbow and follow through with a rigid wrist. Like bowling, even.
