Hogan Grid

[PUArtista]

Here's the secret to both distance and direction....GRIP PRESSURE!!!!!...Most of you swing at a 100+ mph effort....but your clubhead is flying about 80....wonder why GRIP PRESSURE!!!

[jonniefeeney]

Nice r11 he's using there lol

[alex10for2]

does anyone know what show this is? there are more clips out there with similar analysis of diff players. I believe it was in 1954, GOLF Education: golf lab. Any help would appreciated, thanks!

Love this video, Hogan was a class act and had a swing that would change the way golf was played. So ahead of his time.

[golfwriter9]

Watch the hands for his secret ... and it is NOT pronation....

[paulski5]

@golfwriter9 What isssssssss it?

PS isssssssssssssss.

[justinp766]

@golfwriter9

he sets his wrist or "cocks" them ....then he unleashes all hell into the golf ball.

[golfwriter9]

@justinp766 Nope, that is not it. He does not set his wrists. Notice how the angle keeps increasing on the downswing.

[justinp766]

@golfwriter9

lol , how else do you think he can have that angle without cocking his wrist??

I am LDA member and thats how you keep that angle.

[golfwriter9]

@justinp766 You used the word "set" ... when I talked with Hogan, he said he never "set" his wrists ... the angle of the shaft to the arm remains fluid throughout the swing, especially on the downswing ... any other questions?

[FullTimeHypocrite]

@golfwriter9 true

[butchiebaker]

The left knee is what to watch at the top of the back swing...the power move

[teewoods]

Camilio Villegas is tne only top pro who suses this dated lateral slide. No wonder he cant drive it straight anymore.

[paulski5]

@teewoods Are you bagging on Camilo AND Hogan...?? Or just Hogan?? Not sure I agree either way but...Hogan...was an OK golfer...

[McGinnbros]

@teewoods Give me a break! Hogan was the greatest striker of the golf ball ever! I am not saying putter but ball striker.

[mikepownzall]

@teewoods Hogan was one if not the most accurate golfer in his day.

PaulSki, excellent book - "Ben Hogan An american life" James Dobson. Just finished reading it, excellent. A guy I know (he runs a small golf shop in Bray County Wicklow Ireland) Wrote to Mr Hogan and requested a Signed photo as a present for an Irish Journalist called Dermot Gillece, Mr Hogan replied with the signed photo and a not that read, "Yes I have heard of the said gentleman". Short and sweet, he wasnt a man of many words, the guy has the note in the bank!

[MikePedersenGolfTips]

It sure seems he moves off the ball in the backswing, but obviously it worked for him.

[paulski5]

A very orthodox pivot Mike! He turns around his spine, which runs up the back of his torso. (a centered motion) There is more recent video of him out there with even more tilt too. (Palm Beach hitting balls into ocean)

[paulski5]

Lots of tilt and he gets very open in the downswing too, with a good bit of weight moving onto the left foot.

[scootientherock]

Curtis Strange had a very similar,(and successful) lateral movement, though not as fluid as Ben's.

[proslayar]

Did hogan hit the golf ball long?

[TexanProgressive]

Yeah, he hit it a long way.

[paulski5]

proslayar.....he was a big hitter for a little guy I take it.

Good pivot and lots of delay in his release he had.

[proslayar]

yeah thats what i thought too, but alot of the time people say that straight hitters are better ball strikers.

[rw5791]

the grid makes it clear.Hogan's left hip is in the middle at address and almost touching the vertical line at impact.

[plebian44]

thats is new swing- he used to flip his wrists but let his left elbow drift away from his torso on the follow-thru in an attempt to keep from hooking the ball. his new swing combined the supinated left wrist at impact whith the upper left arm held tight against his torso to promote the added impact of clubhead rotating around the shaft thru the impact zone. turned out to be a winning combination

[nvroccevil]

Cool!, this looks like the background for the "hogan's secret" article in Life Magazine

[nvroccevil]

cool, this looks like the background from the "Hogan's secret" article in Life Magazine

[brykidla]

Tiger does the same squat and then his head pulls back up JUST before impact.

[pbhello]

was this his new or old swing?

[fnuggi69]

Want a better golf swing - lock these images in tour muclememory!
