Ben Hogan's Magical Device

[KevCarter]

congrats on the book...hope it does well

Hi Burley,

I hope you are doing GREAT my friend!

One of my TGM heroes made this post years ago. I think it is a very interesting take on Mr. Hogan's pattern. I agree with OKIE, it's in the book, I don't have the knowledge to figure it out myself, but I am a MASTER of Cut and Paste!

Cheers,
Kevin

pre: from 45' to 49' Mr. Hogan won 37 times
post: from 50' on he never played in more than 7 PGA Tour events in a year yet he won 13 more times, including 6 majors. Until Tiger in 2000, Mr. Hogan was the only man to win three professional majors in one season in 53'

My favorite swing style of Mr. Hogan is his pre-accident swing because I believe that he was a true 3-barrel swinger w/ no manipulations. He hated the hook and said that it was like a rattesnake in his pocket. When he came back from injury he incorporated several anti-hook components that IMOP lead him to be a hand manipulated swinger.

I will be looking at only 2 videos...down the line from "Hogan at Augusta" and face on from "Hogan face-on view Power Golf"

10-6: elbow-A
10-7: double shift-C
10-8: standard-A

10-14: standard-A
10-15: standard-A
10-16: right anchor-C
10-17: standard-A
10-18: standard-A
10-19: drag loading-C
10-20: combo- shoulder turn & wrist throw C&E
10-21: end-C
10-22: random sweep-B
10-23: top arc & angled line-D
10-24: automatic random sweep-C

This is a very fun exercise...notice the amount of standards in this list 1/3....hmmmmmm

Hopefully someone will put together a list from the post accident era of Bantam Ben
