  • Smokin', OP. In every way.

  • Best video that I've seen on youtube - the music, the swing, The Man.

    Well done texasflood54.

  • @superstishun Thanks man. Glad you liked it.

  • @superstishun I totally agree.

  • hogan is the only dude that hacks into the back of the ball with his whole body

    absolute perfection

  • 0.44 was the best video footage with the swing and ball flight.

  • @piccalocb

    Yeah, everybody loves that shot...really a famous piece of film.

  • Frame 0:45 was the best Hogan ever swung the club. He as at the zenith of his game prior to the accident.

  • I've seen this video hundreds of times. Still Awesome.

  • What is so great with this video is the number of swings that we see in full speed. Too often we see Hogan's swing in slow motion so as to analyze positions. The magic of this Hogan lies in his rhythm and timing. This is one of the best examples (Snead was another) of a classic "no-nonsense" swing-- step up and blast the ball! In order to get to that point in the game, it takes an infinite amount of time with a club in your hand. Hogan always said that 24 hours was not enough time in the day if

  • Great swing to watch!

  • God, in my next life, could you please give me a swing as good as this :)

  • @chriskeenan1

    If you hit a couple hundred thousand balls, sure.

    --God

  • @emncaity Unfortunately it's the quality of the practice, not the amount of balls you hit that makes a great golfer.

  • @chriskeenan1 practice to learn, play to win

  • SRV and Ben Hogan The best of both worlds, laid back perfection

  • Hendrix & Hogan ,awsomse, THANK U

  • check out the ball flight at 3:34. amazing for how seemingly little effort he puts in the swing!

  • Comment removed

  • i though it was suppose to be a hawk attack

  • looks so easy with him..

  • @silowhore

    Yeah...I got it already. I like the song too-I dig Hogan also.

  • big draw

  • lolol @ 2:08....."Monkey see...Monkey do"?

  • Tasty....love the low ball flight. Kind of miss seeing those shots that blast straight out like a laser beam.

  • THANX

  • the stinger at 0.43 is awesome!

  • @MrSzatyo

    "Stinger." Please. Don't use dumbass Tiger Woods language to describe what a guy like this was doing. It was a lowish fairway wood into number 13 at Augusta. If Hogan called it a "stinger," it's a stinger. If not, it ain't--at least not when he's hitting it.

  • @MrSzatyo

    To clarify: I don't mean to be disagreeable; it's just that I kind of chafe at mixing terms that seem to connect 1) a guy who threw himself across his wife's body to save her in a head-on crash with a bus, and 2) a guy who humiliated his wife and children by sleeping with every cocktail waitress and aspiring porn actress he could get his hands on for years. Not questioning Woods' level of skill; it's just that there's more to being a champion golfer than that.

  • Awesome video!

  • Just a reminder that this compilation came from the 'Ben Hogan Collection' produced by McTee's Champions.  Glad everyone likes it. Good of texasflood to post with great music. I really like SRV!

  • excellent compilation, thanks!

  • on the range before players teed off in events i heard they often would take a minute and watch Hogan hit balls. The guy who told me this is a pro at a small golf course i play and he said Hogan's ball flight compared to the other players was like watching a pro and a 10 handicap. Hogan paved the way for future generations to understand the mechanics and every aspect of the one plane swing. I often wonder what the game would be like today if hogan didnt return to the game after the car crash

  • I really didn't want to make a big deal about this with the music selection-I love SRV and Hendrix, don't get me wrong. I just wouldn't have put any music with this video. Hogans swing was like listening to an orchestra in itself-that's all I was saying. It's an anti-left swing, you have to give him credit for that.

  • @MrKmanhooks1

    I was just answering your question, with a scientific wildass guess as to why he chose Voodoo Child. I wasn't trying to be cynical, just giving an opinion. With a username like "texasflood", I have guessed that he is an SRV fan. It's one of SRV's greatest hits.

  • Awesome ball flight at 0.46

  • @84Latty can you imagine the ball flight he'd hit with todays equipment.

  • i just had the shittiest day on the range again i want to quit i really do but i cant

    this video gives me the strength to keep playing this fucking game

  • I don't get why Voodoo Child is the music though. It was a preminition of Hendrix's death. I just don't get it...

  • @MrKmanhooks1 Are you stating this because of the lyric "if I don't see you in this world, maybe I'll meet you in the next one"? Everyone will die, some more soon than others. Unfortunately Jimi died young. Voodoo Chile was written to be a positive song and has roots back to greats like Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson. Jimi's passion and playing on that song is magical and worth sharing with the world. There is a reason why many of the greatest guitar players in the world cover this song. :-)

  • @texasflood54 Hey. Great compilation of swings and great tune as well. Thanks for posting! Next time consider Hendrix's extended live version off Electric Ladyland. Then we'll have 17 minutes of Hogan swings instead of 7.

  • Comment removed

  • @MrKmanhooks1 I am assuming that, texasflood54, just happens to be a Stevie Ray Vaughan fan and a Texan. It may be coincidental, Both Hogan and Vaughan are considered to be immortal with their lasting impressions of the legacies they left behind. One was from Ft. Worth, the other from Dallas, both worked tirelessly to perfect his craft. Each had their own unique style and both can never be duplicated. Regardless, the tune is very cool, and the swing is just as fun to watch.

  • @FabulousFabela You nailed it right on the money. :-) Two masters at work.

  • @texasflood54 Since, I am a Texan, and a Hogan and SRV fan myself, it was the only conclusion I could come up with. Thanks for posting this compilation, I watch it on regular basis. I go to the range and play this song on my MP3 player while hitting balls too. I really enjoy watching the clip at 3:02 - 3:09, thats a great view for a full iron swing.

  • @MrKmanhooks1 or here's a more likely reason, because the author likes the song you nonce. it wasn't a premonition of anything it was just a song

  • 0:42-0:46 my favorite golf clip ive seen

  • THE best video on youtube! I have this song stuck in my head every time I go to the practice range now. Awesome.

  • By Far The Best Hogan video I've seen

  • There can be only one... It's been so many years and still Hogan is the Man!

  • I though I seen Trevino at 3:13 watching Hogan.

  • @xxxMrSuspendedxxx GLAD YOU POSTED THIS..yes, although Trevino does not get the credit he deserves for his technical insight and his swing is not perceived as"pretty" both have that inevitable pre-swing rhythm that implies the shot is already hit..there is always the cliche of Mr Snead being the rhythm king , natural golfer etc etc.Hogan did all his thinking and analysis before he went out to play, after that he played , like Trevino ,purely by feel .

  • he raises his left heel.

  • It's so cool to see many of the other pros on the range just standing there in awe watching Hogan rip shot after shot.

  • This is fantastic!!! Makes me want to go out and shoot a low score! As an avid golfer and a student of Ben Hogan's swing, the combining of Hogan's hypnotic swing and Vaughn's mesmerizing interpretation of Jimi's Voodoo Child is an unbeatable and inspiring video! WELL DONE!!!

  • :43 to : 45 is awesome

  • Watching this feels like wearing a cashmere sweater, drinking a bourbon and coke, and smoking a cigar.

  • Nice work, Thanks for posting ! Is that shot at :44 into #13 at Augusta? Incredible footage

  • Watched 0:44 over....and over....that's a nasty shot.

  • Same swing every time.. could watch this vid all day

  • funny how one of the best golfers to ever lived basically does everything in his swing they tell you not to do these days.. is it becasue they dont want you to be good, are just wrong, or? Ben, wabbles, cast, hinges.

  • somehow this goes perfectly together!!! AWSOME

  • his shot at 0:44 is gonna give me wet dreams

  • @catcher. He could drive 285+ with a balata ball, steel shaft, wood head. Imagine if he had a Pro V1, graphite shaft, 360cc head. Or imagine you hitting a balata ball, steel shaft, wood head.

  • The swing is awesome, but I wonder if it would work in this time. Look how low his hands are in the top of his swing. I don`t think you can hit more then 250 yards with a swing like that, and the golfcourses are a much longer these days. The top-players now hit over 300 yards!

  • Absolutely fantastic video about an absolutely fantastic golfer. Thanks for posing.

  • At :44 seconds...this shot gives me chills.

  • @damianpcs

    Agree

    Brilliant trajectory looked more like a missile launch.

  • Two Texans and masters of their craft - Ben Hogan and Stevie Ray. I would love to watch each of the segments in entirety. Lots of priceless footage here. Loved the shots at 2:19 - 2:23 of the caddies shagging each shot. More than a few got tagged by Hogan during the 1000's of hours he practiced. Glad I found this...Thanks for posting!! Dig it out of the dirt.

  • nice job. 

  • ben hogan is the greatest

  • Great camera angle and superb shot at 0:44. This guy was the master of the modern golf swing. Great video - thanks for uploading.

  • 3:36 is a great camera angle to view a golfer, why don't they use that kind of angle much on tv?

  • Fine............thanks

  • whew...watched it 5x! can't get enough. awesome video! thanks for the post.

  • What a great Post !!!!!....The Texas Fade and the Texas Fender..Bravo Texas Flood54

  • I would love to have seen Mr. Hogan hit a Taylor R7 Quad..

  • Bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!

  • gotta love 1.02... the pro in the red sneaks a lil peek at purity... commonplace, i'm sure, at the time. then at 1.05 the guy in red has disappeared, lol, back at the clubhouse having a lil' snort while hogan grinds on.

  • SWEET!

  • I am a huge Hogan fan and I love the SRV music put to it. Wish me luck in the Spartanburg County Amateur(South Carolina). I am 56, and have hit probably 20,000 range balls in the last 3 months. I will be playing against some top notch golfers, but I will be invoking Mr. Hogan's Spirit!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

  • Great video dude

  • On wrx.com they were all saying he did something called "The Harley Move." i'm Not really sure what that is

  • Superb. thanks for posting.

  • that ball flight at 3:37 is freakin sexy i think i just popped a boner

  • Quality!!

  • Yes this is cool. Well done Texas Flood. At 0:44 he is hitting into 13 at Augusta.

  • Dude, that was cool... great footage, great music

  • Its like watching a car wreck you cant take your eyes off it, mesmerising !!!!!!!.

  • great video, love his swing :)

  • Watch Ben's right ankle at 1:40 & 2:05 (just before he takes the club back) did you see it?

  • some of the footage of iron shots looks like a stack and tilt swing -straight right leg , flat backswing and the high holding finish -an absolute master who used different swings for maximum effect

  • Love the music with the video, Thank you .

  • I've never seen some of this footage. Thank you!

  • Probably one of the coolest golf related videos I've seen on youtube. Just enjoyed watching it.

  • chipping with a cig, gotta love it.

  • A truly awesome collection of the Hawk's work. Well done! Bravo!

  • Great Job.

    If there is one thing average golfer can take away from Hogans swing - is to watch his PIVOT, meaning how he loads against his right leg. PERFECT PIVOT- that is where the power is.

  • 0:44 is tits

  • Very nice. Music was cool - fit in perfectly somehow - smoothest swing I have ever seen.

  • For me this is one of the best videos on youtube. Shows off the tempo, mechanics and intensity of Ben Hogan in full flow

  • i would kill for a swing like that...KILL!!!

  • great video, great music choice. i think i'll go to the range now.

  • I love the way Hogan carves that 3 wood at 0:44/4:13

  • oh yea!!!!! so cool

  • Great video of the best ball striker ever! Love the music choice. Notice in some of the clips of Mr. Hogan warming up before a round, the other pros stop warming up themselves to watch him. Respect.

  • this is my model as a swing, dont know about the rest of the world

  • It amuses me how great players make the golf swing look so easy and effortless but when the rest of us do it, well, you know....nice video but interesting music choice!

  • That was fun watching that!!! Thanks for the effort!!

  • nasty

  • Wow, great video! Best player that ever lived.

  • lol whos this guy radrm who clearly hasn't seen much or studied much of Hogan :P Hogan took the club way past parallel in his younger days before he was almost killed in a car accident. After the accident Hogan was not as flexible but still able to produce tremendous power and his ball striking was unbelievable. Jack Nicklaus was asked if tiger was the best ball striker he'd seen and said no no Ben Hogan easy that says it all really the guy was a genius and remains a legend.

  • Mate, you have no idea... Hogan was the best ballstriker EVER, longest from the tee when needed, HUGE pressure to the ball...

    Only player playing Carnoustie par-5 second shot to the green, todays PGA-Tour players try it wth Hogans ball&clubs, nobody make it !

    Nicklaus said: Never seen better... there is some respect with weight of 18 major.

  • He has a short, smooth and repeatable swing.If he played in our time now I think he would have to lengthen his swing to generate enough distance to keep up with today's power game.

  • you forget how far club and ball technology has developed. Im pretty sure he would handle himself just fine

  • this guys swing is so smoooooooooooooooooth

  • IMO, the best on all of YouTube. Kickass...thnx!!!

  • you gotta love his ball flight at 0:44!! really nicely put together video saved it straight to my favs thanks for posting

  • This is really bad ass

  • Love Hendrix,Hogan and Stevie.The was *&%$!@ BAD (70's)

  • damn, that's cool as hell...thanks for posting.

  • No problem. Thanks for watching.  :-)

  • Great video!  Ben Hogan is the epitome of shear will and determination.

  • If only he had not been injured so badly in the car crash. I believe no one would match his records. An amazing man. great video,well done

  • In frame 2:58, where did you get that clip from? I know it's not in the Legacy collection.

    Thanks!

  • All the video footage came from The Ben Hogan collection series.

  • Bravo for this video!  wonderful music, a nice postproduction and the best golf star in action. Thanks

  • Glad you liked it.  :-)

  • This was far better than any other videos I've seen on here. The greatest. thats all i can say

  • tiger is unbelievable but no one had the aura of hogan. this man was unique. a zen master. he exudes class even on video and across time. i am in awe of this man. great footage.

    thanks

  • Hi,

    The clips here came from 'The Ben Hogan Collection' dvd set. Its part of the 'Swing Gallery Feature' on the menu. It really is great stuff. I liked the original music score we used better though even though I like Stevie!

  • It would have been perfect if it was Jimi.

  • Good stuff !!

  • It would be scary if he could play today in his prime with the equipment and technology that's available now. With the exception of Tiger, Hogan was arguably the most fearsome competitor that ever played the game.

  • God bless, Keep em coming

  • My favorite song, golf, and guitar player. very well done! Ben Hogan is the man. greatest ball striker the game will ever see!

  • Awesome footage brother! I never seen some of the videos you gathered there.
