When it comes to hitting solid drives, the secret is to swing within yourself. I know that sounds like a cliche, but it’s true. If you swing at 100 miles per hour and hit it on the toe, you won’t hit the ball as far as you would with an 80-mph swing that catches the ball in the center of the clubface.
I just love dancing. When the music is really hitting my soul, then I really want to get into it.

When you see grown men near to tears because they’ve missed hitting a little white ball into a hole from three feet, it makes you laugh.
I had the same game plan during a tournament when I was playing bad as when I playing good: being just as aggressive, hitting at every pin.
Now even the American command is under siege. We are hitting it from the north, east, south and west. We chase them here and they chase us there. But at the end we are the people who are laying siege to them. And it is not them who are besieging us.
When you’re in good form and hitting the ball well you want to keep playing as much as you can and not have too much of a break.
Touring can get really hard if you’re not hitting some fashionable zeitgeist.
It is not my role to go out and do the power hitting. My job is to play my natural game.
It is really hard to do comedy; it takes a lot of energy and focus. It’s rather like music: It’s a lot of hitting notes precisely.
It’s like a series of waves hitting you. First, getting excerpted in the ‘New Yorker’ last summer, then getting published, then the best-seller list, the award, the movie deal, now this, a Pulitzer.
Hitting is an art, but not an exact science.
What I say goes. I’m hitting shots that I want to hit. I’m doing the things that I want to do. I play it my way.

With a tennis racket strapped tightly to her hiking pack, Martina Navratilova began her ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro. The tennis legend had visions of celebrating at the summit of Africa’s highest peak by hitting a couple balls to see how far they might fly in the thin air at 19,341 feet.
What a perfect way to end the home stand, by hitting sixty-two for the city of St. Louis and all the fans. I truly wanted to do it here and I did. Thank you St. Louis.

I vigorously deny hitting Ms. Sheridan.
I like being done up! I love going to events and wearing fabulous gowns. I like hitting that spot of doing what feels good for me. If it makes other people happy, great; if it doesn’t, then that’s great, too!
There’s hardly anything I’ve ever done that’s made me cringe; I’ve got pretty good pitch, for a start, so I’m not known for hitting bum notes.
As a kid in Fayetteville, N.C., I played golf all day, every day, a lot of it by myself. I spent hundreds of hours around the greens at Cape Fear Valley, the course my dad owned, hitting every shot I could think of – the one-hop-and-release, the chip that lands dead, the explosion from a bad lie.
Brace yourself if you’re a traditional hitting coach, I’m about to say something that will hurt your feelings. The best baseball swing is an uppercut.
The billable hours is a classic case of restricted autonomy. I mean, you’re working on – I mean, sometimes on these six-minute increments. So you’re not focused on doing a good job. You’re focused on hitting your numbers. It’s one reason why lawyers typically are so unhappy. And I want a world of happy lawyers.
Making love is like hitting a baseball. You just gotta relax and concentrate.
The whole idea is to propose an immersive experience. When you watch tennis, you watch from the outside, you’re far from the court, the camera is far away and the whole story is about two persons hitting a tennis ball and trying to win.
If you’re going to go out, I’d recommend the Boom Boom Room. That seems to be the hot spot that everyone’s hitting up during Fashion Week.
I’m just old enough to be able to say I got those very first Beatles records right as they were hitting America. My father brought them home. It was definitely the earliest musical influence on my life, and still one of the greatest.
I’ve always loved hitting, and even as a kid, I always hit.
If I can hit the ball the way I want to hit it on the range, I’d rather do that than play golf. I just love the feeling of hitting good golf shots.
You would think that Freddy Couples-Nick Price would be the team to beat, but I’ll tell you in skins, it’s a matter of just hitting it at the right time.
I’d be scared of hitting 60 and looking like a granny when the child’s just in their teens. I’m happy I had my daughter when I was in my 30s.
Hitting the road with Steps is going to be so much fun.
I felt when I was hitting guys or going for a takedown at 185, sometimes it was like hitting a wall.
If you go back to the minors, you have to start swinging and hitting the ball again. I’ve been in the minors since the ’70s semipros, let’s put it that way.
I am a woman, so I never want to hide that or be like, ‘I’m one of the boys,’ because I’m not. I am aware of our audience. We always aim for the right combo of not hitting people over head but still getting our message across.
I think I have a natural hitting ability.
If I could be like Happy Gilmore or Kyle Berkshire, hitting over 400 yards and hitting it straight? That is a massive, massive advantage. So I set out to do that, and I’ve been healthier and stronger ever since.
I always could hit, but fielding I had to work at. I took as much pride in fielding as hitting. I became a complete ballplayer. I knew when to take the extra base. I knew about the outfielder hitting the cutoff man. I knew when and how to bunt. I knew when to hit-and-run.
I wouldn’t describe myself as a home run hitter. I’m just trying to hit the ball hard in the gaps. Just backspinning baseballs and hitting line drives.

I have been hitting people and hurting them since I was 16 years old.
Every time I am directing, I question why in God’s name I’m doing it again. It’s like hitting yourself in the forehead with a hammer.
There is more to the game than hitting it far. There are ways to make birdies other than hitting 350-yard drives. I pride myself on a good short game; I work very hard at it.
In the past, missionaries have traveled to far countries with the message of the gospel – with great hardship and often with the loss of life. In contrast, we can reach millions instantly from the comfort of our homes by merely hitting the ‘send’ button on our computers, or with iPads, or phones.
When I’m not hitting, I don’t hit nobody. But, when I’m hitting, I hit anybody.
When I’m hard at work, when I’m deep in it, there is no other feeling. For me, my work is at all times building a nation out of thin air. It is manning the troops. It is painting a canvas. It is hitting every high note. It is running a marathon. It is being Beyonce. And it is all of those things at the same time.
When I’m snowboarding, I just feel stronger and more flexible and more able to trust my instincts – because there are times when you really do have to be mindful with the jumps you’re hitting and the conditions that you’re riding in.
One guy that I wish was here right now, Ted Williams, helped me so much, our long talks, not about hitting but about fishing, one of Ted’s passions, and I wish he was here today to share this with me because I owe so much to Ted Williams.
For so many years, I was watching my tee shots slide hard to the right. I used to think I was hitting a draw at times, and the ball was still curving to the right! I still prefer to play a little fade, but I’ve had to recalibrate my visuals.
The reality is that we have a weakened energy infrastructure, and anything above a Category 3 hurricane hitting Puerto Rico would be devastating towards that infrastructure.
Slowly from just touching the ball I got to making the ball and eventually hitting a decent defensive shot. Because I don’t have a lot of weapons I have to use my speed.
