Description

Blake Austin (T: @RAKEwBLAKE, IG: @usaprimebaseball, FB: @usaprimebase)  is one of the most sought after hitting coaches in baseball. He’s often referred to as ‘the mad scientist’ because of his willingness to go outside the box and into other fields, such as golf, to learn more about swing mechanics. His ability to do so may have rubbed some traditionalists the wrong way but it has allowed his clients to achieve levels no one thought possible. Blake is also a golf fanatic and has been applying his knowledge of the baseball swing to golf. Along that journey he has identified many similarities, as well as differences, and believes coaches from both sports would benefit greatly from consulting with one another. Blake has mastered blending the ‘old school’ ideas with modern technology and has helped many improve their game and reach the next level. If you’re interested in learning more about Blake and what he does you can visit him at his facility, just outside of Atlanta, Georgia at USA Prime Baseball.

Golf 360 came about from a theory I wrote a decade ago called The Golf Paradigm. It is something I came up with after spending over 30 years in golf and meeting a lot of exceptional people. Some of them were within the industry while others were outside of it but they all had phenomenal information that helped me improve. Whether it was a world-renowned coach, genius club fitter or engineer, ground breaking health professional or therapist, fantastic mental coach or psychologist or someone that understood how to utilize all of these to the benefit of the whole, they are some amazing people. There were also many others, all highly accomplished and from various fields; the business world, other professional athletes, and many more that were kind enough to pass along the knowledge they had acquired over a lifetime of work. Not only did their input help me as a touring professional, it also helped me in life and with my current teaching position with the The Golf Paradigm Academy. I wanted to take my good fortune of having access to so many people and bring that to you so you could apply it to your own game and life. With such a wide array of people I thought why not call it 'Golf 360'?
