I don't wanna get into anything else about Hogan....
I'm just addressing how you said his Snap release led to hooks when it clearly didn't.
I don't care how much he opened his face as a "counter measure"....I don't care if "no one else can swing like Hogan" (*cough* bullshit....anything's possible).....
I just can't see how having a Snap Release would cause hooks.....it doesn't make sense to me at all.
Clubface causes hooks....so Hogan changed that.
And like I said.....from what I can gather I'd think a Snap Release would make it harder to hook.
....I don't know this for sure, but it makes sense in my head.
I've got no quarrel with a snap release. Certainly many great players use it.
I only pointed out that Nicklaus, Woods and Sorenstam use a sweep release.
