Ben Hogan Swing Take 9

[Dreama40]

nice swing, how about some views from front on next time

[roosterinboro]

I love how you don't overswing. Is your grip exactly as Ben describes in 5 Lessons? (Been studying that book since '79) Found an original hardback copy on my dad's bookshelf, printed in very early 50's.

[MrRobeezy29]

[silowhore]

solid man, nice swing

[Strikeb4ck]

[aonyon]

hey. how can i achieve the same swing plane. i love your swing plane. just like hogans and i like the way you approach the ball at impact. looks good. please let me know how or what i can do to achieve the same swing plane. thank you

[DJsHeaven]

What's your handicap?

[weeicemon1953]

Good work as Near Hogan as i would dream to be......you got it where many have failed.

[KnockOut22]

what are you shooting with this new swing????

Looks like Hogans swing, good job.

[BillKelly13]

That range is impressive and the turf looks great.

[BillKelly13]

Fadi you are a FUD you really dont know a thing about golf coz your a Fannybawz McTavish 26 handicapper.The sort of old cunt that thinks Ernie Els swings slow! Old fuds like you canny swing fast anyway infact you need ladies clubs because you swing so slow.Relax relax relax thats the sort of knowledge you have about the swing! The LAST thing you want to do is relax and swing slow.Now Fannybawz I suggest you go to a PGA Pro and get yourself educated about swing mechanics.

[BillKelly13]

Fadi you are talking SHIT!!! a good swing cant go too fast,a soft slow swing is more destructive and inconsistent than a fast one due to there being more pressures and active tensions in a fast body swing.The only problem with this swing is the softness between his adducter muscles but apart from that its pretty good and far from being TOO fast!

[CBFREE]

Great swing shows real power. Is your predominant shot a left to right or at worst a hook? As I am sure you know, your working on a flat plane and if your using Mr Hogan's swing as a mantra then its beautifully consistant. There is less left knee break and heel lift too and that obviously works for you to stay on level head height. Did you weaken your grip at all to counter the other factors? Great song as well :)

[OnePlaneSpartan329]

Look at that lag! Also, a great pivot and move to the left. Very nice man.

[kuneckid05]

You are so right there. As long as you stay balanced through out the swing, you can then force every shot or swing mega fast but still keep fundamentals controlled. Text-book swings don't exist. But it looks as you strike it pure, consistant and powerful.

I really like your swing. saying that I probably watched this video over 50 times, just for the song, but always seem to watch you hit them balls.

Many things can be learned just from watching you.

Thanks for the Great Video !

[einardan2005]

great swing men!

[gjack2008]

Martin... Just curious what the specs (loft, shaft, etc) on your driver are. I thought I saw a video that you say it's shortened. Also I notice your left arm leaves your body more than in some other vids... Especially the captain hookback vid. No criticisms just learning.

[fadi1025]

ur swinging too fast to be consistent

[martinez19696]

@fadi1025

ur making an assumption based on your own flawed perception  :)

[ellis505]

@martinez19696 BEST COMMENT ON YOUTUBE

[arniepga]

@fadi1025 flawed perception is being kind. saying he is swinging to fast is just ignorant =-)

[underchuck21]

What's your ave driving distance?

[martinez19696]

@underchuck21

About 300 yards, although I don't have my drives measured as accurately as they do on tour. :)

[thestuvy]

looks like a very solid swing to me.

[freddycupples]

music sux.

[golfswagga23]

pretty hoganesque from what i seee..  keep it up bro. im getten closer too. whats your handicap. curious

[kuneckid05]

he's a PRO x

[kidgoalie]

thank you

[kidgoalie]

hey man great golf swing. i would love to achive the swing you have. but quick question, whats that song?

[martinez19696]

Kings Of Leon-Closer

[neverleftever]

work on your right leg in the downswing, it's in the way. move it towards the target not the ball and then you can use the right arm properly. nice to see your using the right model to copy, draw a line where hogans belt buckle is(down the line) at address and see if his hips cross that line

[znov400]

probably the best swing in youtube. call me 4089312769

[kuneckid05]

it is Lovely, i justs zone in the music and look at the swing., Kinda relaxing tbh haha xx

[Tigersmundo]

Excellent balance and graceful motion on how you get around the corner to the South West quadrant.....Swing thoughts let say when that extra 15 to 20% more if needed to land on trampoline greens or pin tucked tight on the front to stop or get over a trap let say 285 to clear?....I bet the front view is scary similar to Mr. Hogan ; D Play well

[Live180]

What is a trapped free flowing flail? Haven't learned all of the terms yet.

[martinez19696]

That's just me gibbering away a bit with my own take on certain terms...so don't worry if you don't understand them. But basically I want the golf club to move freely from the start of the swing.....I don't want to hold any angles.

[1tontomato]

It's a one plane momentum driven swing dictated by the rotation of the core with no hands. The upper body whips through the ball without any thoughts of angles. Imagine using your hands/arms like noodles that are attached to a powerful rotating turbine. It feels like less control, but you actually get more control.

Golf can get real deep in certain circles.

[andypatnou]

Do you swing like 7.5 PX's cuz you look like you have crazy tourqe going on!

[martinez19696]

I'm using Dynamic black gold now. All length cut off the tip of every club. They are a heavier shaft...I love them.

[TheHoyster13]

Everything is pretty much perfect, GREAT JOB!! One thing Ive noticed which I've been doing recently i that right heel is coming up to early in the downswing. Try to keep the right heelon the ground longer. Give it a go, if it doesnt work, dont do it.

Also how do u keep ur right elbow tucked in so much?? Is it because of the flatness of your left arm going across ur chest??

Phil

[downtoscratch]

jd, Only Martin, the author of this swing knows........... but I'm paying attention!

[1gillispie]

looks great...never seen a club lag like that !

[martinez19696]

Tiger and Hogan pulled the angles later than me....still working on it.

[atomicgolf1]

Whoa!, talk about 'Hook Back', look at your right wrist and forearm at swing completion, clockwise rotation after the fact, if that is not evidence of 'DIF' personified I dont know what is. Best accumalation increase I have seen from anyone other than BH. Great Job JH.

[downtoscratch]

Very excited..... as well you should be. A trapped free flowing flail....love it!

[jduncanm3golf]

DTS ,,, by that do you mean the rotary motion is a force acting to flatten the shaft plane, but theres another element that acts on it vertically? hence the "trapped" flail? if so, what is the vertical acting force?
