132 swing speed? Not in mph that's for sure. LOL! Not even the longest hitters of today get much over 125. Hogan was maybe 115 and that's a maybe. With heavier and shorter clubs 115mph swing speed was a tremendous amount back then and still faster than the 112mph tour average of today.
If a player allows the shoulder to rotate in it's joint in the take away the club will remain square within the swing angle. Though the club will be pointing 90 degrees to the right of the target, when you swing through it will align itself to the target. this has nothing to do with opening or shutting the clubface. It is caused by the joint rotating in the shoulder. This exercise is best done with just the right arm on the club whilst keeping it staight.
Lol, estimated swing speed 132mph. Hogan was known for his accuracy. He was never a long hitter. Even Bubba Watson and J.B. Holmes don't have that kind of clubhead speed. They're around 127 at most.
Hogan was very long which is amazing given his size. He was not a grip it and rip it idiot. Your next shot is always more important. You don't make birds with your driver you make bogeys. Low score wins in golf not longest drive.
@bobbypaulb Sorry, factually incorrect. Hogan often won long ball exhibitions at tour events, according to Kris Tschetter in her book, "Mr. Hogan, the Man I Knew."
@fayette202 She should have called her book,"Mr. Hogan, the Old Man I Knew." She never saw him in his prime, mainly because she wasn't even close to being born yet! According to Trevino and Nicklaus(players who actually played with him)he wasn't long but very accurate. That's why he won the U.S. Open 4 times. He may have been fairly long in the mid 1940s B4 his accident but the swing I was laughing at was in 1953 when he had a tucked right elbow. And, as a long drive champion myself, I can
...tell u that it's not possible to be a very long hitter with such a low right elbow at the top of your swing! Just look at any long hitter, Nicklaus, Daly, Couples, Watson, Zuback, Sadlowski, etc......
@bobbypaulb Of course she never saw him in his prime. But she got her info. straight from the source. She merely commented that, despite his smaller stature, he often out-drove his peers in long ball exhibitions that were held before the commencement of PGA events. BTW, peers in his prime were Nelson, Snead and Demaret. Moreover, neither Nicklaus or Trevino played with him in his prime—If you're thinking of 1960 Cherry Hills, Hogan hadn't done anything in 4 years. Trevino came 6 years later.
@bobbypaulb Comparing Hogan's swing technique to today's long ball hitters' technique is apples and oranges and misses the point. Hogan's main focus in golf was to win. And his golf swing reflected THAT as a priority. Kris Tschetter was just noting that it just so happened that he held his own off the tee. Had there been a long ball sport in his day, he obviously didn't have the size for it, but if he did, I'm sure he would have adjusted his elbow technique accordingly.
@fayette202 Yes, thanks for making my original point! I was just laughing that the "estimated swing speed" of 132mph at 4:27 in this video was a ridiculous exaggeration. I have no doubt that Hogan could amp up his clubhead speed in a long drive competition but the particular swing I was referring to was on the golf course and I would bet my dick that it wasn't over 120mph!
@bobbypaulb yeah, I agree - depending on the accuracy of the frames per second the vintage clip is shot, duplicated and rendered in, I don't know how with any certainty they can determine club head speed with that as a source. (Maybe they could if the footage was some of the high definition video used today, but not 50 year-old film footage.)
@fayette202 I agree wholeheartedly that Hogan was a trillion times better golfer than Bubba Watson or J.B. Holmes and his swing technique was waaaaay better! Obviously, you were the one missing the point all along if you thought that I was saying the opposite.
you imagine a skrew sticking out of the right side of your left arm bicep and you are plugging it into a socket in your left pectoral muscle. This keeps the connection of the one piece take away and keeps it straight long enough.
I just figured out that Hogans one piece take away was simply turning the shoulders to move the arms, this one piece take away is the same as tigers, Hogan generated a lot of power from his core
hi brown547, the one piece takeaway is seem like with the shoulder but if you try as you see, you may have a good result, so try to begin your backswing with your forward chest. ( if you are right hand your forward chest is left) then push your forward chest to the back, you will see you can turn better and you will have a full turn as tiger did it. the right muscle at the right moment is very important.
Well presented video, however it appears as though Mr. Mclean is culling information from Mr. Hogan which fits his own rationales rather than adhering to Mr. Hogan's message. Much of this information is from "Power Golf" the swing Mr. Hogan is best known for is different, i.e. directives such as the forward press. "Power Golf" very well may have been Mr. Hogan's antithesis and ought to be regarded as such.
