Taking the Right Elbow Into Impact

Tongzilla or Yoda,
How different was his "power golf" swing from his "5 Fundamentals" swing? Based on the picture he looks to cross the line a little more vs. being laid off in 5 Fund's. He says he starts the swing with the hips, shoulders, and hands simultaneously in Power Golf, but in 5 Fund's. he says its hands, then then shoulders, then hips. He also says to keep the hands out of the swing but then he says he wished he had 3 right hands? (and he clearly supinates at impact with his hands/writs) What was he really doing and why would contradict himself? Thanks Thanks |

A much stronger left hand grip in "Power Golf". There is less Pivot participation in "5 Fundamentals". For example, the left heel doesn't get nearly lifted as much at the Top. In "5 Fundamentals", his hands stop slightly above the Right shoulder at the Top, as opposed to being above the head. The extent of the Double Shift (10-7-C) is much less in "5 Fundamentals", almost like a Single Shift (10-7-B). Was it because of the car accident, or was it because he wanted greater control? Or both? Anyhow, it was with the "5 Fundamentals" swing that Hogan played his most memorable golf. |
Tong,
So this (Power Golf time period)was apparently when he was hitting the hooks. The thing about the Hawk that blows me away is that even if Woods has more majors than everyone at the end of the day, the fact Hogan survived, let alone won 2 Major golf championships after that accident, is totally unbelievable..... |
The BEST Ben Hogan ever!

This lack of factual knowledge of Mr. Hogan's real history, is not your fault. Lots of folks have no idea about the man, or his history. As for these photos: They were taken in 1948 at Augusta National, and in the three years which ended in 1948, Ben Hogan won 30 tournaments. 30 tournaments He later had "the accident" and made a well-publicized swing "change." He won tournaments and Majors after the "wreck," but in his own words, NEVER hit it as well as he did before (like in these photos). He played well and some say better, but he thought he scored and mangaged his game better. Nonetheless, this sequence of Mr. Hogan that I have posted below, along with the signiture he signed my Hogan 5 Lessons book with, is for lots of great teachers, the best ever. Enjoy!  |
how cool are these pics huh?? Thanks for the Hogan knowlege Tong....
