In this frame of reference, what is going on with hip turn and hip action in this picture?
If there is a relationship between the feet, knees and hips then why is his right heel the ground
Mike Hebron talks about keeping the right elbow in front of the right hip, is that takin place here ?
Hogan isn't posing. His Swing was quick. After a nice slide of the hips, then a turn, the right hip lifts the right foot. the right foot doesn't move itself. The hips FOLLOW on the backswing and LEAD on the downswing. There is no stopping them- let them rip. Hopefully the hip action has been trianed to delivery the arms, hands and clubhead to the ball so they can "rip" without and obstruction or a roundhouse move.
Elbow. PUNCH or PITCH, both Elbow Postions for Swingers, the elbow will move to the front of the hips because the arms are moving and the body is turning. I think Hogan used PUNCH more than not, maybe deeper than most mortals. With PITCH, the elbow leads the hands into the pivot with a later trigger snap release. Hogan didn't snap everything.
6bMike, thank you for your responses.....they do help alot.

I think the statement above, seen often in relation to the start of the down swing, is most misleading and causes lots of problems for the unenlightened.
The slide should NOT precede the turn of the hips; the actions are synchronous. Any attempt to separate one from the other, or to sequence the processes, is damaging at best and disastrous at worst.
Sorry, but this is yet another of those little truisms that hampered my progress until I learned different from experience.

Although the slide or bump will turn the hips to parallel, the intent has to be a slide and never a turn. The action of a slide that turns, as opposed to a turn that doesn’t slide and maintains a low right shoulder position invites permanent residency in Hackerville. A pure turn will prevent any weight shift or allow the right shoulder to stay on and down the plane. The slide thought is Hula Hula.

Agreed.
The only problem I found was in trying to separate and sequence the two motions - slide, then turn. They are integral parts of the one and only move.
