Wonderfull! front view is (for me) like a hogan back swing and a Jones swing through impact and up. First impression. i would love to have seen his ball flight. :) also with such a good waggle it really wouldn't be too far a leap for such a good thinker as Hogan was obviously to achieve pronation theory, having watched this swing intently.
Hard to argue much with it, yeah. Plus, I'm thinking Harvey knew what to look for and must've seen critical things going really right in Smith's swing.
Look at 1:03-04 of the video (01:18:43-01:18:44) !!! Looks like rear foot preset ! Damn, look at the waggle,too. And the diagonal stance. Wow. Not mentioning more obvious things like trigger compression or low plane angle.
his impact postition at 0.37 is amazing.

I can see the resemblance in Hogan's 1930s-1940s per-accident swing, to Mac Smith's. Very rare footage of Melhorn and Smith, well done!

You probably know this already, but Harvey Penick said Macdonald Smith's swing was "the prettiest I ever saw."
