I just love the pic.

Hogan would swing a weighted club that was heavy in the grip end not the Clubhead. Which end of the club does he loook like he is moving? The one where he feels pressure. In Hogan's case, the Clubhead does not outrace the Pivot. If the Arms, specifically the Right Arm, begins to push, it moves the club away from the Pivot. So there is a resistance in the Right Arm to remain bent, to keep the Right Forearm Flying Wedge intact and to give geometry the nod over physics.

Wow, Drew.

Never heard this!



Any additional info?

I read somewhere sometime that Jack Nicklause fine tuned his driver (or all his clubs?) by adding weight to the grip side of the club.

I will have to look in my Hogan achieves for additional information.


BerntR is correct in his Nicklaus observation, but it was short-lived during the early 1980's. For whatever reason, Nicklaus for a brief time used a grip that was weighted in the grip end.

I read that too . . . . there is a company that you can buy "back weighting" for the grip cap of the club. I know ECox did it . . . said it made a big difference. I'll see if I can find the company. Their big push was putters but you could buy the thing for irons. I think Nicklaus put a dowel in the shaft and then filled it with lead shot or something.
