The Missing Piece isn't clubface control. It is simply Hogan's way of eliminating many unwanted shots. The physics and geometry it sets up explains his belief about planes he describes in Five Lessons. Mark Blackburn and I saw many people for many years that were "running out of right arm" because of where their center of mass was and what it made the left shoulder do. Dave Hamiliton helped me so much with the physics of the motion. All we want to do is contribute to what we have been taught by numerous teachers and players. That is one of the greatest things about the game...we can all share knowledge and pass it down through the generations.
A great post, V.J., 'on point' and from the heart (as usual). I especially liked this:
"It is simply Hogan's way of eliminating many unwanted shots."
I have known from our first meeting that you are a true 'seeker' . . . One destined (I believe) to be a recognized giant in the world of Golf Instruction. Recent events -- your victory in the 2007 Mississippi Open Championship and now, the publication of your book -- only confirm this view.
I plan on being around awhile longer to watch it happen!
