The best striker of a golf ball ever,he made it his job to look after Valerie his wife to look after her and he did ,THE HAWK!

I can't believe you can dig a swing that good out of the dirt. Even with the most assiduous, diligent and intelligent practice, it must require a huge, huge slab of talent. A continental plate sized slab of talent in fact.
MIKE AUSTIN WAS THE GREAT TEACHES IN THE WORLD OF GOLF AND HE HIT THE GOLF BALL 515 YARD AT AGE 64, DAN SHAUGER LEARNED FROM THE BEST TEACHES AUSTIN. I HAD SEVERAL LESSONS FROM DAN AND NOW I HIT MY GOLF BALL STRAIGHT DOWN LINE NOW AND HE HELP WITH MY SHORT GAMEAND PUTTING, DAN HAS 2 BOOK AND 27 DVD aperfectswing THANK TO DAN I PLAY A BETTER AROUND OF GOLF NOW GREAT TEACHES DAN IS
Watch his right hip, which the hip is located toward your butt more then the front of the waist, at the top of the back swing. It moves toward the target around the back side. It doesn't turn around the front side of the spine.
Watch how Mr. Hogan changes his left wrist in the downswing from a "cupped", open position to a "bowed", closed position at and through impact. SO much that one can learn from this swing...He shows his strength and power here...VERY GOOD slow motion for capturing the Hogan movement in a swing after his greatest year. I think that the camera angle is not good enough to see all we need to see but it's good enough...
Because these are still shots put together to give the illusion of motion, so you get a corresponding illusion of camera movement because of the slight imprecision in aligning and matching up every detail of each still shot with all the others.
Actually, we have no idea where that ball even ended up. Just saying. We think that was a great swing but we don't know. Hogan could of hit that one hard left and hit some old lady in the head for all we know. We think we're seeing a swing that's perfection, but in reality we might have an elderly lady down and blood pumping all over the place. So all I'm saying is, should we be asking "was that the greatest swing of all time" or " for the love of God, what's taking that ambulance so long?"
@holyfuckareyoustupid Actually, we do know it is a great swing. Look at the the clubface position in the last frame before impact: dead square. Hogan's bowed left wrist position through impact was his real secret.
@jeffy10028 Actually, you are full of crap! You have no way of knowing the path of that club through impact. You are viewing the swing from the wrong plane. You'd need to behind the ball or in front of it to see the path of the club. Therefore, you have no way of knowing where that ball ended up. The only thing we know for sure is - I was making a joke - and you are full of crap.
Tom Bertrand explained how Hogan used his elbows to control the release of the clubface through impact and as contrary as it seems against most golf swing doctrine, it's worked wonders for me, and I was already an 11 handicap playing for 26 years. Where as most all of our favorite pro's would have 'flipped' the clubface through impact to some degree or other, look at the image with the clubhead just past impact. The clubhead is held far more square than most anyone else.
I wish I had a dollar for every Tom 'Dick' and Harry that has claimed to know "The Hogan Secret",funny how many of them popped up after he died.
If Hogan was the man they say he was then for SURE he told nobody the inner workings of his method.He did'nt want any RICH kids getting and easy path to his discoveries about action and reaction to very hard earned swing knowledge.He gave the framework in his famous Book.....the rest you have to BLEED for!
@BillKelly13 You are correct. Read "Mr. Hogan, The man I knew". First hand evidence that there was no actual "secret". (time magazine wanted Mr. Hogan to come up with a magical "secret" move to sell more copies. So Mr. Hogan gave the cupped left wrist move that helped correct HIS tendency to hook.) Don't you think his secret would have been found by now? by video analysis or by someone falling on it by chance.
The complexities of HARD earned knowledge does NOT hinge on A SECRET!!! I really wish you amateurs would stop thinking 'A SECRET ' is involved in this work of ART.
You got it. There's a lot of money in keeping amateurs and less developed players thinking there's some "secret," but there certainly is not--just physical principles of motion, adapted to the individual's body dimensions and proportions, muscular and skeletal construction, and mental disposition.
If there were a "secret," that would be the great dividing point between good players and bad ones, or great players and good ones, and a majority or at least a significant minority of great players would know what it is. (The same could be said of "methods" like the one-plane thing--if that were the one true way to hit a golf ball well, 95% of tour players would be doing it.) The truth is, it's just a set of mutually influencing fundamentals based on sound laws of physics....
...which is to say, Hogan found what would work for him, mostly by being relentlessly clearheaded about what he was after. He even states (in Five Lessons) that even a person who follows every last lesson in the book (much simpler and shorter than almost anything based on it since) would not and should not end up with a swing that looks like his, assuming that player didn't have Hogan's exact physical and mental makeup.
watch his hands on the downswing for his true secret. Actually, he did not think it was a secret at the time, he learned it from Bobby Jones. You might note that from the waist, Hogan and Jones were identical through impact. When Hogan found out the thought that caused this was NOT common knowledge, he kept the reason for this hand action to himself.
@golfwriter9 See here- this is the gulf between the "do-er" , and the writer (something I call "Golf Sophistry")... What you wrote is speculative at best. Why don't you post this tasty bit of knowledge you've referred to and enlighten us all? I bet you won't, and it's because this little "fact" doesn't exist. Hogan found a way to hit it as hard as he wanted without fear of hooking the ball. How he did that won't help most folks. That might be the only secret in all of this.
I may agree with you that most golf writers are not "doers," but I played the tour for 10 years before becoming a writer. I contacted Hogan by letter in 1980 after breaking my back in a car accident. He wrote me back to call him, very much to my surprise. I did, we talked. In 1995 I met Herbert Warren Wind in the press center at Augusta National. I asked if what Hogan told me was originally in the book. He said yes. Hogan made him take it out, after reconsidering.
@golfwriter9 Interesting. Sorry about your back. I'm thinking that perhaps Hogan had remembered Harvey Penich having broken his back with a golf car accident years ago. Interesting.
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
good stuff and look at the hand position at impact with 3 wood 6 inches in front of ball yep forward leaning shaft at impact compresses ball good video ,and check out my swing hitmanhawky some good stuff here to thanks hitmanhawky
Forward angle at impact guarantees nothing. The left wrist angle is the measure of a quality swing. These angles should not be deliberate positions, they should be a by-product. It is quite easy to differentiate between a deliberate position and a position that is a consequence of the swing. One looks awkward, the other silky smooth. The real testimony is given by the ball. Manufactured positions do not have the degree of power, accuracy, control or REPEATABILITY of a proper swing.
