Prerequisites:

Right anchor. Maximum radius (TGM) backswing with left hand pronation to cup(secret).Maximum radius (TGM) downswing.AFTER pivot training, intent to move handS controls EVERYTHING. DO NOT PULL WITH LEFT.Keep shaft loaded. Provides feedback for CPU. This also appears to be a secret.***right arm structure required, see ‘extensor action’. (TGM). Extensor action took awhile, rest was relatively easy. Another secret?

Piece of cake. ? Not really, if you play a few times a year just move your hands and have a good time.

Yes, because it probably won't work for me anyway.

My opinion on the secret is that basically it was joke. At some point possibly right from the start Hogan realized that it was a way to get into other golfers heads. So much the better if the pros he was competing against thought that he had figured out some mystical secret. "He said there's three ways to beat somebody: You outwork them, you out-think them and then you intimidate them," says 1964 U.S. Open winner Ken Venturi about Ben Hoganhttps://www.espn.com/sportscentury/features/00014236.html

So many folks claim to know the secret here is a smattering of books, videos and etc.:https://vault.si.com/vault/1955/08/08/hogan-reveals-his-secrethttps://www.golfdigest.com/story/has-a-louisiana-teaching-pro-discovered-ben-hogans-secrethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLTo78PfJTAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeecTFbrGwIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3lpCPIhgcUhttps://books.google.com/books/about/Ben_Hogan_s_Secret_Fundamental.html?id=IikPDgAAQBAJ&source=kp_book_descriptionhttps://www.amazon.com/Ben-Hogans-Secret-Fundamental-Never-ebook/dp/B01NB16C6Rhttps://www.golf.com/instruction/2019/02/08/secrets-to-ben-hogans-legendary-golf-swing/https://www.reddit.com/r/golf/comments/5yexvd/what_is_ben_hogans_secret/https://www.target.com/p/ben-hogan-s-secret-fundamental-what-he-never-told-the-world-paperback-larry-miller/-/A-51894699 Ben Hogan Golf Swing | Golf Swing Trainer | The Ben Hogan SecretAre all of these folks correct or any of them? I don't think so. Nobody here is either. There ain't no secret!

The secret is, there is no secret. What worked For Hogan was good for him. How do we know when he said that, if it was the feeling he had for that day or week? If I had a dime for each time I said I got it, I’d be rich. Even these guys on YouTube, they have a video for the week but it contradicts what they said in their last video.

Hogans only secret was his mind, all tour pros are good enough to win but fail because they can’t handle the pressure, it’s as simple as that, Tigers biggest strength was his mental game, the way he could focus, same with Jack. That’s the secret.

Anyone with empathy who has struggled with a non repeating swing knows the frustration it entails would want to share it.

  • Like 1

"Shirtsleeve" swing technique:

1. Setup: Elbows bent forearms pressed together against shaft slightly forward of center with "Hogan" "active/flexed" leg tension left foot turned out slightly and the right leg slightly farther to the right - weight mostly on balls of feet butt of left hands sits on the top of the grip with very light grip.

2. Swing - W/o disturbing weight distribution of legs and feet lower hands while doing a forward press "swing trigger" then the left upper arm takes over on the backswing, it needs to go out in front of the body then back in front of the chest as the hands trace down initially then up to over the right shoulder "Torres". The goal is to not disturb the pressure of the feet during the initial takeaway.

 

Notes:

1. Only swing thought after swing trigger - extend left arm at shirt sleeve when reaching left hand over right shoulder "Shirtsleeve technique".

2. The upper left arm move "Shirtsleeve technique" can be practiced independently without a club, sitting down for instance

3. The correct feet tension can be felt by doing very short hops on the balls of the feet then holding the same feeling of pressure on the front of the feet and then taking three practice swings with the grip very loose in order to not disturb the same pressure on the feet and on the 3rd swing actively do the "Shirtsleeve" move. From there the swing should be done within a matter of seconds to not lose the feel of the legs resisting, this way this is not a learned technique as much as it is a setup technique.

From my own experience don't share because...

I'd say 99.99 percent of the time it is not Mr. Hogan's secret. It would be your own aha moment or simply just you discovering your own secret that compliments your idiosyncrasy.And even if you've hit that 0.01 percent of actually stumbling upon the real Hogan secret. Don't share anyways. Who the hell would believe you. Mr. Hogan isn't here to confirm it.It's embarrssing as hell when you've realized that you're wrong and have been proudly telling folks about it who knows way more about it than you do. LOLMost people on the Hogan forum knows everything there is to know about Mr.Hogan's swing anyways and the consensus seems to be that even if you knew his secret it wouldn't do much for the average golfers.So just use your so callled "Hogan" swing to enjoy golf... you'll get so much more pleasure from actually playing golf instead of playing golf swing. Trust me. And if people actually compliment you on your golf swing. Just thank them and don't even mentioned Mr. Hogan. I'd think that's how he would prefer it.

Now if somebody mentioned that I have a great golf game and my swing looks similar to Hogan's all I say is "I'm a big fan of him as a golfer and as a person. My favorite golfer of all times". The end. I think that's the proper way to honor the man... just my two cents.

 

p.s. But discussing what you "think" his secret "may" be... that's fun as well. So I'll continue to do that with like minded friends both here and in real life. Cheers!
