Ben Hogan : Creating The Firm Rear Side

Observe how Mr.Hogan builds the frim rear side sequentially from the ground up thanks to the rear ankle and knee joints preset. Observe how his rear hip reacts unintentionally to the sequentially built torques and moves linearily. Observe how Mr.Hogan can ensure automatically that the downswing is a pure undisturbed rotation as a natural consequence of what has just happened before in the motion or even during the setup.
Mr.Hogan's whole swing is a beautiful compilation of compression and expansion phases that occur in a proper sequence from the ground up thanks to properly built torques in the joints.
It is called a Sagittal Plane Compression (SPC) concept.

A firm rear side is key to developing that kind of tension at the top. Look at the acuteness of the angle of his right leg he needed in order to resist the forces. Hogan said tension was the key to the downswing making it almost automatic.

Very well said, mate.

Another great example of Sevam1's "the secret is in the dirt" move. Thanks for sharing this great video!!!

There is a subtle but important difference between the BGS and Sevam's theories - Sevam's Move is conscious and require transferring too much weight to the rear side.OTOH, my theory there is no place for conscious moves through the motion. All of them are being used at set-up. The rest is unconscious automatism.

@tm22721 Hogan's Shoulder center is very stable as he rotated them with tilt. He moved the hip center off the ball as he turned them and the rt leg extended to almost striaght this allowed the shoulder to turn more and stay in same spot over the ball. He also pushed the hip center thru and past the shoulder center on down swinSome said he almost looked rev pivot at the top, there was nothing rev about it because he ison Lt side. I have a 14 page letter Hogan wrote discribing all of this

J, my concept is the SPC (Sagittal Plane Compression), not SBC :)

There is a difference. Mine was always presetting the knee at address till finding the rotational limitation in the ankle/knee joints. Sevam's original was "screwing the foot"; he started to mention about "pretorquing" later - and when we both discussed it, he said he meant slight pretorquing only, certainly not till the limit as per the SPC.

Nothing is missed, J.

Sevam's Move ("screwing the ball of the rear foot into the ground") bears a connotation of a conscious move.

The SPC concept of mine utilizes finding natural limitations in the joints at address. It means that the preset is much stronger at setup so that the overtorque in the joint is being created. All conscious thoughts are during setup, no conscious thoughts needed during the motion.
