Hi Wayne, thanks again for the analysis. Just for my own understanding you mention that at address the club shaft is at 53°, when his left arm is parallel to the ground his shaft plane is 57° and at the top his shaft plane is 67° so increments of 4° all the way to the top. My question is does the club then retain those same angles on the way back to the ball meaning when his left arm is parallel on the way down the club shaft will be at 57° and will be 53° again at impact? Thanks.

@HabloIrlandes Not really. With a combination of stresses from the forward movement and rotation the shaft is affected in a number of ways that aren't consistent from player to player. Wrist action and grip also play a role, as does the eventual impact area alignments

Al: Please enlighten me as to the errors my analysis is fraught with. Nice use of the word "fraught" by the way.

Hello Wayne,i would like to ask you about Hogan's impact from face on. We see how that knee kolaps, we don't want it like this right? we prefer to have it straight right?

[Fraserr1992]

He isn't comparing the 2 swings, he is analysing each 1 individually. So no he doesn't need too have the same era of swing. Good video keep up the good work.

This is a pointless video. You're looking at two different eras of Hogans swing. If you want a true analysis check out Dan Whittaker's analysis.

The hand suddenly appearing at 3:39 freaked me out.

Nice analysis once again. Ben Hogan was a great player, but once again we see an example of what a player, even a great one, 'feels' not being what he does. He once described himself 'feeling' like he was 'swinging within a barrel', but you can clearly see that esp. on the transition he really moves outside the box/barrel. Just shows once again how important the mind is in creating a great golf swing.

@wdefrancesco Are the shoulders supposed to be on plane on the downswing and after impact equally or even at all?

I'm working on my swing an wondering if that is a factor

[hoganfan100]

how can presecret dtl and postsecret fo be analyzed together ???

[secretogolf]

Is it enough to make your lateral move left and assume that by bringing the club down from this move W some shoulder /arm effort -that the hips will turn properly.I ask, because this is what I feel happens as long as I keep a fulcrum with left arm & arm pit.When I turn the hips prior to bringing the club down,just after the lateral move it feels like I get a coming over the top feel.So I am going lateral arms drop hips start on there own and then finish to impact leading with handle of course.

Hi Wayne, when you look at the angle of the shaft at address / left arm parallel / position at the top - this really helps to distinguish how 'deep' certainly players swings / hands are. Do you think having a 'deeper' swing (smaller progression, as you would say) is 'better'? If the goal if the backswing is to get to a good impact position, would you say that a deeper swing with smaller progression is MORE inclined to get back on the shaft plane / hands in the circle / therefore better release?

One important aspect to notice about Hogan's set up, is his hand position. His hands are always behind the ball with the shaft leaning away from target a bit. This set up is good to get a feel for change of direction on the down swing, a bit old school. Also notice the head is rotated about 30* away from target.
