Hogan question

[birdie_man]

Lagster,

Hogans cupped wrist as Birdie_man mentioned was probably another measure to encourage a fade.

I didn't says that! Blasphemy!!!

...

Really tho....I've only seen one picture where Hogan's wrists were obviously double-Cocked.

....haven't seen any of his vids or read any books....but all the pics on the net I've seen are Flat....only saw one bent- cover of LIFE magazine.

Didnt Gary Player come out recently saying most players would have more power and get greater distance w/ a cupped left wrist?

Wasn't his wrist Flat when he played?

I guess youre just adding one more variable when you go from a cupped to a flat or bowed wrist at impact.

More or less.

...

First of all, everyone should read Ted's thread: "Is the world flat??"

...to distinguish between Flat, maintaining Flying Wedges, the effects of different grip types on the appearance of the left wrist....etc.

[birdie_man]

Well...I guess that video shows a Bend....we can't see Hogan on the screen too well...but Gary draws the lines, etc. that indicate a Bent left wrist.

For one though....when Player demonstrates what Hogan's doing....he doesn't look double-Cocked.....left wrist looks Bent....but looks more like he took a Turned grip....i.e. Flying Wedges still intact.

(read "Is the world flat???")

And if THAT'S what he's advocating....well then ok (doesn't have to be a Turned grip tho).

Question:

Possible at all that Hogan could've EVER played a grip that was slightly Turned.....and could've produced a Bent left wrist at the top....but while keeping his Wedges intact?

Did he ever go to a draw as his normal flight? (maybe going for more distance when he was older?)

I just really don't know about this double-Cocked crap....
