The cupped wrist- Hogan displaying ONE of his 'secrets'
Hogan exhibiting the perfect approach for a powerful controlled strike
balanced and ready to load the club for its assault on the ball
the layoff in transition for slotting the club
Hogan dropping the club behind his body into the 3rd dimension- shallowing the shaft out for the inside approach
even in his 70's Hogan showed great range of motion in the body
the late hit- preserving angles to be utilized into AND beyond impact
power and control ALL stored up and ready to be used on the ball
It's GO TIME!!! ready to unleash the entire right side through the ball
Hogan displaying one of the true SECRETS of golf... Can You See It?
lowpoint of strike is controlled with wonderful precision and control of correct muscular strength and cohesive body tension
Doesn't get any better than this!!!
Solid wrists- Upper arm connection- true loft used on the strike
Lower half flowing forward- Top half staying behind- PERFECT
tight and oacked allows for the pivot to be motivated from this point on to move the club
when the sequence is correct we can hit the ball as hard as we want and remain in balance against the moving club
turning the club through impact and keeping the shaft inline with the chi region of the body is the ultimate contributor to control and power
perfect rotation beyond impact where the shoulders and hips turn in unison against the ground pressures of the feet and legs
full release of the right side without rolling the club or shaft after impact
CONNECTION of the shaft to the chi (body centre) beyond the strike controls the clubface
the rotation is done- only NOW do the hands and arms begin to again move away from the trunk and apply extended pressure to the finish- note the neutral clubface showing absolutely no independant hand action.. Fantastic!!!
full extended finish where the arms and club fly up after the rotation is spent
those armpits will NEVER hold a towel or headcover under them at this point!!!
Slot- Load- Fire- Release
the difference between the early Hogan swing and the champion Hogan swing is very noticeable in these pictures
The waggle- Hogan preparing his wrists and forearms for how the are going to be free and oily
the famous Hogan slot down
Hogan address and impact together- NOTE.. there is spine tilt and there is NO shaft lean.. only lateral motion in the lower half into the strike towards the target
No words to express how great this hitting position is
Just after impact- the body overtakes the want of the hands and arms to continue powering the club
upper arm connection slinging the club beyond impact for control and power
you know you've made it when you use a club with your own name on it
total relaxation and concentration- British Open 1953
Thanks for the memories- Hogan in full flight- Carnoustie British Open 1953
