  • Luke Donald #1 in the world is a arm swinger.There are many ways to hit that little round ball.

  • What a fantastic clip and thanks. Many people can get different things out of this. What I get is the how right shoulder stays back and how the Master keeps the angle in the right wrist to for such a long time - maintaining the lag. The best swing ever, masterful; thanks again.

    Love it.

  • The lag, the hip turn and leg drive are incredible! I gotta try to copy that!

  • This shows Hogan did not rotate his left elbow at impact as is stated on one u tube video. The best way of getting the elbow to rotate is by taking your grip whilst standing upright then stretch your arms out. You should find that your elbows point slightly towards the sky. At impact the arms will stretch out causing The elbow to rotate without causing the wrists to supinate. This in formation is not admissiible to the appropiate sight

  • I do respect your opinion my friend. Hummm i think it is a good idea to rotate the left elbow toward the right at impact becuase that would cause average golfers not to rotate it left which causes a chicken wing. What do you think about this? I saw the hogan video your talking about and it made me think of this. Ok look forward to your opioion:)

  • If you take your gip before taking your address position with your arms hanging by your side and the club pionting in the air, and then stretch your arms out, the position that your arms are in will be the position in which the arms will have maximum flexibility. Otherwise you would not be able to stretch your arms into this position. You should find that the pockets of you elbows point slightly towards the sky following this exercise

  • My comments were really a reference to another video on You Tube. My comments were romoved from the page. The video states that a player should turn your left elbow to the left at impact. But if a player addresses the ball with the pocket of their left elbow pointing slightly towards the sky the arm will then stretch itself out in the hitting area and activate this rotation naturally, without causing the hands to supinate, allowing a player to release freely through the ball

  • Blah Blah Blah. Swing thoughts such as mechanics are a virus to your golf swing. Its all feel. Have a loose grip, good tempo and think of compressing the ball and your good to go.

  • in which swing thoughts are concerned, right shoulder doesn't move at all. If u think in moving ur right shoulder, u'll probably come over the top and will produce a pull or a pull-slice shot. Change the weight to ur left leg while keeping the head behind the ball and then swing ur left arm towards the finish position, facing the target and in good balance. Find the ball in the way, swing through, don't hit at

  • Great info.keeping conected w the arms and body will keep the right arm coming from the inside.I don't believe the swing should commence w the left but the right.You will find it much easier to keep your hand positions,left bowed and right bent back,when the swing is initiated with the hip turn and right arm swing,still against the body.When I have started my swing with the left there is a better chance to lose hand position and flip or spear w the shaft,taking away from the body.

  • Watch the formation of the Y-right arm,(left arm and club shaft), at shoulder height he is at 45 degress,hip 90,then he moves in increments of 10,10,110,120,130 then whack-hands still ahead of the ball.

  • The most important tip you can get from Hogan (other than grip and set up which are great in 5 Fund..) ; is to realize that the hips and trunk of your body swing the club. The arms come along for the ride and that right elbow stays tucked against the body. If you can learn the forearm rotation secret move then great, but it is a minor point. Get the arms OUT of the downswing.

  • I mostly agree with you. While the arms are not OUT of the swing, they defintely don't INITIATE the swing. Good arm movement flows from good torso movement. Many don't realize that the right hand doesn't THROW the clubhead at the ball, but rather projects out toward the ball AFTER the upper trunk (right shoulder) has moved around toward the ball on a steep plane.

  • @telescope3

    You're right--the arms are not out of the swing...but I'm not sure good arm mvmt flows from good torso movement any more than the other way around. It's undeniable, because it's kinesiologically provable, that the arms don't literally "go along for the ride," but it can look that way when everything's working as one single movement as it should. It is also true that without the right kind of turning motion, the arms have nowhere to go and will get disastrously out of plane.

  • @bohs1984 You got it. In the "one-plane" swing-type favored by most players, a rocking action of the upper torso (shoulders) combined with a lower-torso (hip) turn is the mechanism which brings the club down from the high, shoulder-based plane established in the late backswing. Surprisingly little independent arm-action is required for this swing type. The lower body shifts a bit toward the target first to provide a stable platform for this action.

  • I HAVE BROKEN THE SECRET.....and this is a great video showing it.......try this.......swing the club back without attempting to break the wrists....the key point is as you swing it back POINT THE BUTT OF THE CLUB AT THE BALL LINE (right along the line the ball is on straight toward the target).....then think about sliding your KNEES parallel and level toward the target direction.....this will give you the hip lateral slide without allowing the hips to spin out.....try it and see.....

  • are u gonna go pro now?

  • LMAO........I said it would work not beat people......HA HA HA .....but seriously it does work great.....

  • The right shoulder should move down plane in the down stroke in a straight line towards the ball as seen from behind.

  • Great piece! Just one word....Soundtrack.

  • This clip has floated around for many yrs without a soundtrack- if you buy the Shell's Hogan video- it is at the end of the tape or dvd. Rip it a post the sound version please.

  • Nice work....thanks !!

  • Thanks for posting this outstanding video. Great illustration of the right shoulder and the legendary swing of Hogan. The model swing was helpful.
