Ben Hogan Concentration Drill

http://www.golfsnothard.com/

This is probably one of the hardest drills to do out of the sure frustration of going slow. I hated doing this with my teacher but it was good for just trying to truly rehearse what you are going to do. (By the way, this isn't slow motion)

I use this drill when im erratic with the driver and it gets me hitting dead straight again. I also use it when im losing power and i regain my power.

[tmousc]

Agreed.  Absolutely helps you refocus if you are erratic.

Look at the clubhead speed at impact.

@jstratfan it's showing how hogan came up with konica minolta swing vision right after world war ii.

funny about this drill. None of the Hogan lateral hip-slide here.

@pcakesxl

i think what he's doing is trying to get certain feelings, particularly on the downswing, if you exagerate that flattening, it makes it easier to do it when you do it fast, and when you do it faster you don't get as much of it. but it's a good feeling.

[ChristopherDowning]

This should work well. It's exactly how we musicians learn a new piece or practice how to play faster. In fact we slow down to about 5th of normal speed and slowly work it back up to pace 5x faster. So with a normal swing speed being about 160-180bpm in a waltz time (3 beats back and 3 beats through to top) this would mean slowing down the swing to about 35bpm - that 's a swing taking about about 10 seconds. If it works for musician I don't see why it shouldn't work for the swing. Do it 100x

Saw Tiger do this at the PGA Championship in 2009.

how many repetitions are needed?

[dkorda]

OHHH FUCK YEAH!

[slapstik89]

Unfortunately that doesn't always hold true. When you slow down you can concentrate on the swing and have it scientifically perfect. When you swing at the ball, science goes out the window :S But i'll admit, it certainly does help.

[pcakesxl]

For most people, that is those that slice the ball, this might be helpful but if Hogan actually swung the club like this he would battle the hooks.

His real back swing is flatter and his real downswing is steeper.
