Ben Hogan's 24 Basic Components

[O.B.Left]

You can not change the order of the Power Accumulators .

In the audio tapes Homer discussed the false feel for power when rolling a bigger #3 angle on the lower planes. The increased Drag feeling more powerful than it really is. He also acknowledged that is often hard to persuade some who are attracted to this procedure to do otherwise . He described "physiological reasons" for letting golfers just enjoy that which they enjoy doing. "The game is supposed to fun after all".

However the physics of it remain unchanged. There is a story about how Lynn called up Homer to discuss the state of his game which had recently taken flight. "Im sending bullets out there". The last thing needed being a few more yards so Lynn could hit more par 5's. The two men discussed the machine adjustments necessary. Amongst other things Homer discussed delaying Release to Snap via the Aiming Point Procedure and of interest to you perhaps... a grip change in the left hand to reduce the #3 angle!! Less #3 angle , less drag upon #3 Rolling , less time required to roll #3 .... all promoting a later release and by design more power.

#2 is Velocity Power , #3 is Transfer Power. #3 angle is important and powerful but nothing compared to #2 for the Swinger. To forsake some #2 angle uncocking in the Release Interval to accommodate more (hefty) #3 angle would lead to a power loss.

For minor basic strokes or two accumulator strokes with no #2.... #3 angle can seem powerful and it is . Hence Homers advice to zero it for the short shots, to better regulate power .
