Why'd you mention Flip release BTW? I'm curious to know about this.
I read a bit in the book but haven't gotten much from it yet. It talks about a pivot controlled-stroke and shoulder-turn takeaway- I now use both.

From the pictures and videos I have seen, it looks like Hogan uses a Snap Release. Is it Automatic or non-Automatic? I can't tell. Does anyone have any advice on what to look for to see if someone is using an Auto or non-Auto Release Type? If I were to hazard a guess, it would be an Auto Snap Release, just because it is very hard to control clubface motion manually when one has such a late Release Point.
I can assure you that Hogan did not use a Pivot Controlled Hands procedure (I'm assuming that's what you meant when you said "pivot controlled-stroke").
Regarding the shoulder turn takeaway, notice in all Hogan swing videos, how absolutely stationary his head remains on the backswing (and downswing). There is no swaying of the head behind the ball- something you often see from people who employs a Shoulder Turn Takeaway. Also notice the very slight "left-side sag" look when Hogan is at the Top. This is a common characteristic from golfers who employ a Right Forearm Pickup procedure and keeping an absolutely Stationary Head.
