Two things Hogan said... think about it eh!

[SwagGolf6112]

 

 

 

First thing he said

“…the left hand will not check or interrupt the speed with which your clubhead is traveling. There’s no danger either that the right hand will overpower the left and twist the club over. It can’t. As far as applying power goes, I wish I had three right hands!”

 

Second thing he said

“…Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing”

 

 

 

There you go folks... happy hunting and have a blessed day.

I'm sure I'll get "flamed" for what I'm fixing to say but so be it, who cares right.

 

Sure he rebuilt his swing and came back from an horrific car wreck which shows his determination and drive.

 

But I just don't see why so many people are so fixated or enamored with Hogan's swing thoughts or swing. It's not the holy grail.

 

Like so many others he's a golfer who figured out what works for him, like so many other Pro's.

I think it's not only his unique swing but the results that came with that swing--his record. what's funny for me is that many claim they know the "secret" to his swing but never have successfully duplicated it yet. And the reason is, as you said in your reply, he created a swing that worked for him.

Yes, Ben Hogan figured out what worked for himself.  It may have helped a few others in the form of his books, Power Golf and Five Lessons, the Modern Fundamentals of Golf, which was a long time best seller among golf books.

 

He shares the skill development abilities with other pros like Harry Vardon, Sam. Snead, Byron Nelson, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and even an amateur, Bobby Jones.  
 

Near the end of his playing day he started a golf company like a lot of other pros and his company was better than average.

 

He did win a few majors.  In one stretch he won 9 majors out of 16 he played in in that stretch.  He did a better than average job of figuring out his swing since there were not a lot of other pros that figured out how to solve their problems as well as he did.
