jeffy,

thanks for the reply -- I am going to try stick with JH method for now, but I want to give it time. I am a low handicapper who is stuck and I hope that this will help unlock that problem. I am very concerned about the inside takeaway because my problems revolve around an uncontrollable hook at times. I was hoping to find a method where I could learn to fade the ball. It appears that you can with JH method depending on ball position. Are there any videos that can help out with out the DVD set or the Golf channel vault?

Thanks

Eddie

From The Critics

 

Library Journal

Over the years Ben Hogan's swing secret has become the con artist's equivalent of the Brooklyn Bridge. In truth, Hogan may have played the Wizard of Oz the secret could be different things for different people. Bertrand, with the editorial help of Bowler (The Cosmic Laws of Golf), reveals the secret as conveyed to him by John Schlee, a Hogan prot g . The book is effectively an homage to Schlee. Bertrand admits that the secret may have been Hogan, the "wee Ice Mon," tweaking the world. Nonetheless, he reviews and explains what he believes the secret was, together with an overview of Schlee, his golf school and long putter business, and a lesson sequence with photographs. The question up for grabs is whether Bertrand's book is better than the original by Hogan, Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf, or any of the others that have attempted to recapture his essence, such as David Leadbetter's The Fundamentals of Hogan, John Andrisani's The Hogan Way, Jim McLean's DVD, Ben Hogan: The Golf Swing, or Jim Hardy's book and DVD combination, The Plane Truth for Golfers. For those interested in "the secret," or Schlee's or Bertrand's method of instruction, this book is a decent investment. For instructional value, however, Hardy's book and DVD may be the best value of the lot. Steven Silkunas, North Wales, PA Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

I have Bertrand`s The secret of Hogans swing, The first 100+ pages are a history going back in time recalling the relationships between Hogan and Schlee and Bertrand. It may or may not be of intrest to some. The last 65 pages explain Bertrand`s method and refers to Hogan frequently. Its a good book from the standpoint that Bertrand will tell you what to do then will explain why and the reasons for it.

 

I have Hogan`s 5 fundamentals and Hardys Plane truth, there are some similarities, Bertrands book has pictures of everything he teaches and Hogans book was written in the 50`s so you need to read between the lines and Hardys book brings up many questions that his DVD set, sets out to explain.

 

I really didn`t have much intrest in the history, I did read it, so as far as I am concerned the last 60+ pages are the only point of intrest.
