There will be a new book as above tilte. Seems like Hogan's secret will never end.

 

And it never will as it is too easy to make a $ with BS. As in "last year I bumped into Lee Trevino, who told me Hogan's secret was to lift his nut sack 3 times then fart on the backswing....................."

 

I wonder if all those authors dared to title their books using the expression "Hogan's Secret" suggesting that they had discovered it if Mr.Hogan still is alive amongst us... ;)

 

Cheers

 

 

Or on an internet forum..........................

 

Hogan told a select few. And they passed it on to a select few...... They wouldn't tell it to just anyone. The rest is just supposition.

How many secrets did he have? I have seen at least 10 books that claim to know his secret. It would be funny if he never really told anyone the secret just as a way to mess with us from the grave.

 

 

ROFL....Probably true!!! LOL

 

Like the guy who found the Lost Dutchman Mine...he had no tools with him, went to town and then returned and couldn't find the mine!!! LOL

Thinking outside the box here... Maybe broccolli or beans is the real secret... It must help pivot faster, like JATO. Must go to range, but first must consume gaseous produce... :beruo:

Can we speculate on the device? The chances are that Ted may frequent some internet site...the natural habitat for Hoganites...his natural source of income and sales... like any predatory author he must learn more about his prey... If this is a device....you not only get to buy the book...but the device will be out for next Xmas too.... double marketing opportunity....Ted knows his job!

 

I am not really so cynical - he may have some angle on an existing story...or a real new re-discovery...

 

If it were an out-door device...then I am sure somebody would have seen it already

 

If it were an indoor device then it could have been kept secret all this time...may explain how he practised in his hotel room etc...

 

It could be an "underclothing" outdoor device...?

 

Could it be his clubs...device sort of...

 

His clubhead speed measuring device ?

 

Thanks Ted....a winter of speculation awaits!

Good point...Ted was an aspiring young pro when he first saw Hogan play... asked Hogan for a tip one day ... Hogan just threw him a pair of golf shoes...Ted misunderstood this gesture at the time and thought Hogan was just being rude...UNTIL he saw Sevam1 thread...then he looked at the beat up shoe propping open his front door...the extra spike....now he gets it...gives Sean COnnery a call...and the rest is history! But it will take a while to rehash Sevam's stuff and clean up the old shoes for the photos needed for the book!

 

I am slightly cynical but I will buy your book Ted!

 

We Hoganites lap it up!

 

Thanks - not easy getting anything published

Actually it was Augusta, Hogan tossed the shoes and said "Hey boy, polish these shoes, Snead's playing the back nine in his socks."

I am not ashamed to say I read the book, and though it has most of the same tips as 5 lessons and such, it isn't a bad read, just a different way of presenting the same data, if any of you have looked a spreadsheets and charts, sometimes looking at a pie chart over a bar graph gets you the information in a different way. Overall not a bad book.

I was hanging out at Barnes and Noble yesturday, and grabbed this book for a few minutes of alone time. Although I'm not nearly as obsessed as most of the Hogan people, I'm still interested in this whole "secret" thing.

 

As was stated, mostly it was 5 lessons revisited. Just to avoid any problems, I'll do it this way;

 

The book says the secret is that, at impact, the insides (or dimples) of both of Hogan's elbos faced the sky. Evidently it also has to do with his bowed left wrist at impact, and transitioning from the cupped wrist at the top to the bowed wrist at the bottom.

 

I found it interesting, and will definately be messing with some positions next time I get to a range.

so how many people went to the range and practiced on hogan's "cup" secret only to realize that it did them no good?

 

I don't think experimentation in and of itself is bad, as long as people are willing to accept when things don't work for them. But most true swing experimentation requires a level of self-awareness that most will never posses. Hogan had it is spades.
