Hogan’s Five Lesson’s # 608 number 1 BEST SELLER

While there is much valuable information in Hogan's Five Lessons, there are two grossly distorted concepts not employed by The Man himself:
1. The banded, 'elbow-pockets up' Arms.
2. The over-the-shoulders pane of glass and its baseline downstroke shift to the right of target.
For the above misrepresentations of the Flying Wedges and the Inclined Plane, the book should come with a warning label.
Caveat Emptor.

Someday- "Golfing with Yoda" will be a NATIONAL bestseller and the all time number one golf instruction book- someday soon.
Hogan's elbows up and bent swing plane are his two "Seems as Ifs."
All golfers needs "Seems as Ifs"- its their personal FEEL. It is their feel from their mechanics but it is not excatly what is being reproduced. This is why you can never learn from FEEL instructors.
Another case in point, this months huge Golf Digest Issue, Mr Toski claims the swing should gain speed like a canoe going over a falls. Crapes, I'll pass on that "seems as if."
btw: once again Chuck Cook has wonderful instruction as he explains Payne Stewart's chipping at Pinehurst in '99.
