Another thing to watch in his video is his left hip slide, natural right foot roll, rotating the hips through impact and squared shoulders @ impact. All great golfers are great because they have these details in their swings.
What's amazing to me is how Hogan created this swing without fancy lessons or high profile swing coaches, without slow motion video, without Bizhub camera feedback, without all the gimmicks and tricks you see today. He learned it in the dusty dirt driving ranges in Texas. It's just amazing.

What a great video !! Hogan's five lessons as well as this video changed my whole concept of the golf swing. Once you get this feeling of the lower body bringing arms in the slot... golf becomes so much easier. Thanks Hogan !
@TheAnthonydigian LOL you might as well say it looks like Jim Furyk's Swing. "stack and slap" may have a few positions that appear to be similar, but Mr Hogan swung the club very differently. Although you could mention the large lateral hip movement forward and left. Bennett and Plummer are expert salesmen and are laughing all the way to the bank!
@hennybogan007 The reason "stack and slap" has some similar positions is because it was apparently based on the commonalities of so many excellent players throughout history.
Every player has certain similarities in the swing as well as differences. Of course Hogan's/Snead's/Palmer's/Furyk's/Woods'/Yours/My swing is going to be different.
MIKE AUSTIN WAS THE GREAT TEACHES IN THE WORLD OF GOLF AND HE HIT THE GOLF BALL 515 YARD, DAN SHAUGER LEARNED FROM THE BEST TEACHES AUSTIN, I HAD SEVERAL LESSON FROM DAN AND NOW I HIT MY GOLF BALL STRAIGHT DOWN LINE NOW AND HE HELP WITH MY PUTTING.DAN HAS 2 BOOK AND 27 DVD aperfectswing THANK TO DAN I PLAY A BETTER AROUND OF GOLF NOW , GREAT TEACHES DAN IS
Hogan was not a ladies man, he was a devout and loyal husband.
The hardest part about hitting like Hogan is the fact that in order to swing like him, you have to forget you have arms. Most of us when it comes to the golf swing, want to hit it with the arms.
If you do exactly as he says in this video, without using your arms, you can get close to Hogan. The arms will release by them selves at the bottom.
Pixofactor gaming studio in Michigan is working on a game that focuses on the Ben Hogan Instructional book and will make you feel like you're learning from the guy himself. Check it out!
@phildrummer1 Yeah he probably was thinking in his head,"I don't give a $#!^ if you f^%&*! mind.By the way inorder to see his secret you need to have a DTL view to watch his left hand straighten and arms drop.
@nllwwi I've read all the Hogan biographies and have yet to hear any stories about his love life other than the love OF his life, Valerie. They married early in life and had a great marriage, by all accounts.
if you just stay loose during the swing, your body will naturally do this. The problem with most amateurs is that they tense up over the ball. When your muscles are tense you have no chance of swinging properly.
That's correct. Every great ball striker in the game will tell you this..(and it's really dominated my thinking)
"If you can take the tension out of your grip, you can take the tension out the rest of your body."
That's why I started waggling in my pre-swing routine...to allow my hands & forearms to relax. When I can feel the full weight of the club in my fingers,I'm ready. It"s helped everything in my swing. And more you relax, it allows the the elements of the swing to happen at max capacity
.....of course we don't mind Mr. Hogan. Lay it on us. Thank you. Ben Hogan's comments on the grip, the swing plane, and lower body action, and the sequence of body movement in the swing can make respectable golfers out of a lot of us. Not Ben Hogan class by any means, but respectable.
Beautiful swing. Unfortunately listening to him will not help anyone improve. He fails to mention or explain the one central principle that makes the golf swing work. His tip focuses on lower body motion instead of on the swing's true center point which is the point from which the entire swing must be swung and controlled. When you teach a golfer to swing around the swing's true center point the lower body, hip, and arm motions occur naturally and automatically on a correct swing path.
@golfswingfixer Good point. Although starting the swing from the ground up is important, the preservation of the spine angle (with the head and tailbone at each end, remaining steady throughout the swing) is absolutely vital to consistently strike the ball hard and true. Keep swingin' and I'll see you out there!
@golfswingfixer Of course "he fails to mention" a lot of things—DUH—there are too many aspects of the golf swing to encompass them all in ONE tip. He wrote TWO books on the full swing alone, hardly mentioning chipping and putting. Heck, he spent FIVE pages on the grip alone. No ONE tip is going to encompass ALL aspects of the golf swing. His two books have been reprinted many, many times over the years and have helped thousands, maybe millions of golfers.
As the club begins to build up speed and the left hip makes the first move down the target line before it turns backward, the width of the stance will hold up just fine. If you have a tendency to lose your balance, your stance might be to narrow. w w w (dot) golferbreak80 (dot) c0m
