I echo all of the positive comments here. Great job! Thank you so much!
It's my pleasure, truly. Thanks for watching and I have a new film out on Ben Hogan, too!

Excellent
I have every one of Hogan's books and have read them all hundreds of times, even the rare Power Golf.
I thought this was going to be a joke, but you have really done your homework and understand Hogan and have developed an impressive swing. Great job.
Mr. Garcia, your dedication to detail, and insight to Ben Hogan’s technique, inspires me, to start over to rebuild my swing. I’m a frustrated elderly hacker, .with so mucH knowledge available, I’d be foolish not to try.thank you .
Just subscribed to your youtube channel today. I'm 64 and began playing golf as a junior in New Zealand around the age of 12. Played until I got distracted by girls and motorcycles at about the age of 16, at that stage i had a single figure handicap. I got back into golf about 20 years ago and play passionate recreation golf weekly with a few friends. Always been a big fan of the early golf greats since I used to watch the big 3 play with my dad every Friday night when I first got into golf. Loved Ben Hogan but at that stage, I think he'd retired. I've read his 5L book and probably watched far too many RUclips golf lessons. I'm very excited to have stumbled upon your channel and can't wait to take your tips to the driving range. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the overview, I have been studying your methods and teaching for the last year as a big Hogan fan. I have been able to apply many of your key principles and shot a 1 over par round last weekend. I play of 7. I was an international table tennis player in my youth playing for England. I am 53 now and the old school swing is revelation having wasted hundreds of pounds on lessons. Just wanted to say thank you as I have never played so consistently and can only see progress. Keep up the great work - I am "super excited" about my game and the future.
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your teaching methods. You explain them in a very easy way to understand and I like the visuals of Mr. Hogan that you show in your videos. I'm a 1 handicap and have shot terrible numbers in my past couple tournaments. I was just given Hogans 5 fundamentals and love way it is written. I'm planning on revamping my swing to hopefully incorporate the steady and consistent power that Mr. Hogan has in in his. Thanks again for the videos.
+Camryn Hernandez That's exciting news, Cameron. Thank you for the kind words. Keep in touch and let me know your progress or if you need any help!
Christo, I've watched a lot of your videos and this one by far helped me the most. I do still have a little trouble with breaking the plane on the down swing and coming over the top. I think once I finally get over that hump it will truly be a breakthrough. Your imagery of going through your right shoulder really helped. Thanks
I'm glad you said that having a strong or weak grip with the left hand was more or less individual and you find what works for you thru experimentation, spot on!
Christo, your site has been a great inspiration to me. It has encouraged me to rebuild my swing and I am enjoying the game more than ever. Keep up the awesome work!
From a PGA Life member and teaching professional...well done/presentation.
Bob Hasbrouck You’re too kind, Bob. Thank you, kindly.
Really good presentation, thanks for posting this!
Cristo...I've been watchin' you for the past 5 years or so and had a piece of Ben's swing in my swing (left arm glued to the chest in the down swing) and it made a lot of difference...a couple days ago I put the elbow idea to work from this video..didn't think I could do it and make it work...I can't believe the improvement and consistency...this change, thanks to your video here, is gonna put me in the 70s consistently... Ben truely was the master ..thanks buddy ...you rock..!
Hey Mike! Great to hear from you and congratulations. Mr. Hogan really paved the way and I'm happy he gave us so much to work from!
Dear Sir:
Good morning. Glad to see you again.
So sad that I have no any movement about my own MSE by learning Mr.Hogan's swing since two years ago.
In Taiwan, there is nobody teaching Mr.Hogan's swing style. Today, it is my first time wearing Hogan's style hat and I break 100 again in the course. And I am so happy about that.
This year, my goal is to break 90. I will review all your videos and Mr. Hogan's videos, step by step, leading my own MSE.
Thanks again for still being online and be my best support since I almost give up playing golf six months ago.
Best regards
Adolfo.Kao
Cristo, I have been watching your videos for a while now gained many great tips. I really enjoy all of your insight, been helping me quite a bit. As my season ends here, I plan on watching and practicing along with your tips in the off season. Thanks for making these, much respect sir.
thanks for a easy tutorial on hogans swing.The elbows connected to the upper body and starting the swing with the body is key.Your instruction helped me to strike the ball pure,and reminded me it is not an arm swing. thank you for getting my game on track!!
Best golf book ever. You swing just like him! I Love what you said about the club coming through the Right Shoulder. Great way not to layoff the club. Also Love the comment about being connected!
Thanks for sharing, keeping the elbows connected now makes sense. I have started to incorporate this into my own golf swing and I was surprised how much power I could generate from it and actually launch the ball with the driver much further than ever before. Like most things this takes a lot of practice and patience.
I think this is one of the best swing videos I've seen on Hogans swing. You do an excellent job on the whole video really enjoyed it
Hi Christo , great video really helped me a lot, with your tips I've added 20 yds to my drive, and am now keeping most of my shots in the fairway, keep up the great work!
mr. garcia i think this method is really going to work. i've had the hogan book for years and you make alot of sense of it. very excited to get started although in middle of a bad winter outside boston. thanks much
This such a detailed, and amazing explanation of Hogan's swing. I'm so glad I found this.
After watching all your videos over and over, I can say that your videos are 110% better than any lessons I have taken. Your methods do work and I am looking forward to lowering my score each time I play. Cristo, you've made a huge impact in my game. I commend you for your honesty and your hard work. I look forward to more of your future videos.
I appreciate the kind words, Tim. I'm so excited that I lifted my game out of the doldrums where it had resided for 30 years, I can't help but share what I know. I surely don't know it all, but I wish I had known so much of what I share now when I was young and had time to play and practice! Cheers!
Excellent tutorial. I admire how you went back to the fundamentals as expressed by the master in order to become a real golfer. I read once that many people play golf, but only a small percentage can actually PLAY golf. I have spent many years trying to get good at golf and failed. I will try to go back to the fundamentals like you so elegantly teach here.
For decades my focus had been my shoulders and arms, and Mr. Hogan stresses the action of the lower body. It's been an amazing journey but I'm honored to share what I've learned. Best of luck, William. You can do it!
Hi Christo! Thanks for posting this video. It is helping me a lot in finding my own golf swing. Mabuhay ka kabayan!
Thank you so much for this excellent vidéo. Very clear and very helpful. Straight to the point. You have given us the outmost important parts of Ben Hogan's golf swing. Your swing is awesome. Congratulations
Excellent video ! I just recently underwent a swing change and learned to keep the elbows close to the body and allow the body to swing the club as I rotated around... What an unbelievable change in consistency... (subscribed!)
Just became a big fan of Ben hogan.
Will practice these drills.
Thanks
I just discovered your channel and so far really enjoy your delivery and content. Like many people, I am a fan of Hogan's swing and approach to golf but likely for different reasons than many. I find this swing to be very body friendly which is important to me because of a chronic back issue. Although this swing sequence requires a great deal of rotation (you refer to it appropriately as a "body swing") which is not typically good for people with back issues, the sequence is relatively smooth and controlled rather than overly powerful and jerky. I haven't watched enough of your content yet to hear you speak of the role of using the wrists but in my attempt to recreate Hogan's swing to date, I fire my wrists powerfully once my hands reach last parallel. I hope you will address the role of the wrists in a future video if appropriate. Thank you so much for the in depth research you have obviously done breaking down Ben Hogan's swing. I look forward to receiving notifications of future videos but so far I really enjoy and can easily apply what I have seen to this point on the golf course. Your delivery style is refreshing and you are a very good and easy to follow instructor. Thank you for what you are providing to golf enthusiasts and I wish you all the best in your pursuit of becoming a scratch golfer.
Excellent explanation of Hogan's swing. You simplified if for me and I thank you.
Christo, thanks for the great re-explanation of the 5 fundamentals, especially the rotation of the forearms, which Ben Hogan described as "supination" or "supinating" as opposed to "pronating". I understood the concept to some degree but your explanation as a "roll" really brought the concept to full understanding. The rotation (clockwise) allows a deeper back-swing and rotating back sets up the right elbow to come in tight to use the body as the force of the swing and supports the path and squaring back of the club. I was working this in slow motion in living room and can't wait to try tomorrow this along with the short thumb (which I think I underestimated its value) to see its effects but understand it now. Thanks much.
+Randall Kurzman You bet, Randall. The short thumb is a pretty big deal. I'm sure you're gonna smash it on the range!
Great to meet you today Chris. Keep up the good work. Golf needs your positivity KG
Haha! Proud to know you, Kevin. You're a fine golfer and a gentleman!
Hello Christo I have checked your vids from time to time and see you have done well.
I have done pretty much the same thing on my own. Starting with Bobby Jones to Ben Hogan and Rory Mcilroy. The golf swing is now something I can picture in my mind.
Until you can see it happen in your mind you will have problems. Love golf enjoy.
Your awesome..best golf vids out their. Been playing 30 years..or hacking. Changed my grip but now i understand lower body first. Hitting 3 woods over 250yd..i can swing through the ball not at it! Changed my whole golf life..thx brother for helping me understand these great game. My swing has been revolutionized thks to you. thx brother..regards Don from eastern Ontario, Can
golfhead2169 Right on, brother! I was cursed until I started this quest and the heavens have opened up for me! It's a beautiful game once you start to crush it! Congratulations and thank you for watching!!! :)
Une très belle video sur un pur swing de champion ... Merci Christo
Christo, this is a fantastic site and this is one of the clearest and most informative video's that I have seen you do. Everytime I see you swing it is a pleasure to watch and keeps me inspired to attain the best swing I can. Thanks and keep up your great work. ⛳ 🏌 👏
Tony Gordon Thanks, Tony. Best of luck with your swing evolution!
@John Downs I just replied to your other comment on one of my Hogan videos very respectfully. May I ask what is "crap" here? I'm happy to have a nice discussion even if there are disagreements, but you seem to be upset about something.
Cheers mate, looking forward to it
Very inspirational. Excellent summary of the swing.
I am practicing using Ben Hogan Swing as a textbook. It helps a lot. Thank you.
Great description! I haven’t heard it explained in such detail and with such insight!
I tried to emulate this golf swing after watching you two years ago but with no success of course I gave up now after two years I am finally ready to try even harder that’s why I came back to your video you see I did not forget about you I love your videos
Try using some commas in your written word, and who knows where your swing will go. If the way you express yourself and the way you swing are connected, you most certainly have some work to do. You crazy dog.
Absolutely wonderful video! Thank You!!
Hey, a really good description. Will try it out, I may get lost in the muscle memory with the wrist action but you explain things well.
That. Was. Awesome! Clear and concise. Thank you.
Very good explanation of the swing. Most pros spend to much time explaining the wrong swing. I will try it tomorrow. Thank you sir.
Thank you Mr Garcia! Your instruction makes a lot of sense and I am looking forward to practicing your tips.
Connie Mansueto Great, Connie! Thanks for watching and let me know how it turns out.
Great video! I will try to work on my swing according to your tips!
Fantastic video will practice your fundamentals and explanation of hogans swing thanks a million really helpful 👍🏻🏌️
Tried this yesterday and hit very clean straight shots best driving and irons I've ever hit, lost a lot of strokes putting but thats another story. Chips are easy with this release too, I've always struggled with flipping/releasing the club face and been a slicer all my golfing life. Now I can work on my short game and never have to worry about my slice again... I hope... Thanks for putting me on a better path.
+Sparrow Darryl I'm happy for you. I just wanted to share what was so effective for me. Cheers!
Thank you so much for your videos. I can't wait to get to the range tomorrow!!!
That's great, Chris! I'm going soon as well!
Great video sir - clear, concise, and effective!
Great explanation - well done, hope to implement some of this soon!
Fantastic Christo! A great video lesson.
Excellent Chris! Thanks for clarifying this. I have been a big fan of Ben Hogan since I was a teenager back in the 70's. I bought his book back then, but nothing explains Hogan's swing better than your videos. I have always had trouble with a hook and have recently got back to Hogan's swing principles after watching your videos. I have had some success, but it is elusive. I will certainly keep working on my swing with your videos as my guide. Thanks again.
+gjwalbert You are very welcome! I greatly appreciate posts like this. I'm so happy with what I've learned, I'm happy to share.
Very well explained , great swing. I think its very important to also mention about keeping the spine tilt consistent throughout the swing to promote solid contact.
Yes, that's a great point!
That's art right there. Awesome stuff.
ML Thank you!
This is the best swing I believe I’ve seen you make. Not that the rest are bad. But that one is great, imho. I believe this is a few months old but it looks great. You’re right, he didn’t begin to supinate until he was on the downswing. This *fact* has helped me significantly as prior to watching your video & instruction I’d been trying to keep the back of my left hand flat & when I did, I didn’t have space to keep that club moving inside (or on plane). For me the supination occurs right before impact & it’s an incredible strike. Yesterday I was hitting knockdown 60 degree wedges off of tight winter rye (it’s still coming up here in Austin). Im watching other guys on the range & they’re laying sand all over the front of the tee, unable to get clean strikes. Eventually a couple of guys came by & watched for awhile and they asked, “how do you do it?” and I said “it’s a SECRET” lol and of course IDK the secret but I do know how the ball striking works. I did tell them a *key* for hitting off of tight lies, and I learned it from Payne Stewart long ago: grip the club lightly. If you don’t you’ll be skulling & laying sod all over the tee.
I haven’t had this sensation with ball striking since 1973. I was taught correctly but abandoned the *right* way in the 1990’s. I’m good enough athlete to have adapted to the Leadbetter style. I loved Nick Price’s swing & it worked for me. My index was a 0.7 and I was the 2nd best player in a 600 member club. In my view, and I’m not an expert or a teaching pro, the difference between Hogan & Faldo or Price is, do you want to try & control your golf ball & hit it with authority and an orgasmic feeling strike using your left side or do you want to hit pattycake shots, manipulating your hands and knowing you’re just throwing your hands at the ball? In my view, those are the choices. With this swing, I can control my golf ball flight & I can hit shots that are so pure they transcend my golf into a new dimension? I’d rather shoot 76 & be hitting the golf ball correctly than shooting 72 & counting on my shoulders to be on time with the club. I know I’m going to begin to improve & I don’t have to count on timing. When you hear these knuckleheads talking about “too handsy” & “the club is behind you” just laugh & know they’re full of 💩 & have no idea what they’re talking about. They like to talk about “only 10 degrees of hip rotation on the backswing, my goodness, that’s really loading up” lololol. I’ve rambled, but I want to say thanks Christo & Mr. McHatton, for restoring my interest in how it’s done correctly. I’m 60 years old, but I think that I’m having the most fun I’ve had in 40 years working on my swing. 🙌🏻
I enjoy your instruction. Keep rolling!
I'm sold.😀. Mr Hogans book is on order and I've subscribed to your channel. This is my mission over the off season 👍🏴
I enjoy so much your teaching. I love Ben Hogan so much. I blogging on Ben Hogan now in Japan. I want to get your books and videos for my golfing life.
Thank you sir, for the kind words. Best of luck to you!
That was awesome!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much
Yep. Its true. Respect to you for achieving such a difficult position for a righty. You must have worked hard. For the most part us righties struggle. I remember when Faldo in about 94 (in his ongoing search for perfection) started shallowing out on the downswing and he just got flicky. Went from being awesome to short, blocky, and bouncy.
Hey Christo
Great video I am a member of your my swing evolution website and also purchased your dvd the Hogan Code
I like the tip about changing elbows from right to left. It really turned on a light bulb as to why I am not finishing my swing properly.
This video is a good companion piece to the Hogan Code dvd. Thanks again
JJ
.
Thank you, JJ! It makes me so happy to share the things that have totally changed my understanding of the swing. There is so much I didn't know about!!!
It's very helpful. Thanks
Wow this is the best explanation of a golf swing
Thanks for your clean and slow english !!
Great summary. Well done.
hit some of the sweetest irons yesterday trying to mimic this. My driver is the hardest to master as my swing is steep, due to standing up (which I've just discovered) and therefore having to compensate. I feel 'cramped' when staying down through the swing and close the face, coming slightly from the outside causing a pull. But man, the irons from 5-pw feel amazing. Gonna stick with it and hopefully I can get that driver right and get my handicap back to a 3. thanks for the info.
Thank you, great video.
Your videos about Hogan's swing are wonderful. I have used his fundamentals over the years to build my swing. I have tried to incorporate the upper body movements from his book into my downswing, but I have found it best to just use my lower body to power the downswing with my arms being mostly passive. I do release at the bottom, but essentially I control my downswing with my legs. I do actually feel that I am driving my right knee at the ball. I also think of it as stepping into the shot. It has worked pretty well my whole life, so I haven't had any reason to change. Also, I have a terrible Over The Top move when I pull down with my arms at all from the completion of the backswing. This is the major reason I let my legs control my through swing. Anyway, watching your swing and Hogan's has given me some great images of what the lower body should be doing. I used to have an overactive leg drive, but have toned it down quite a bit after watching videos of you hitting at the range. Now my leg action feels more controlled and I am striking it better, especially with the irons. Thank you.
mauroj723 Wow! What a nice comment. You are too kind. But, I must say that it is my pleasure to share what I've learned because I spent 30 years playing poor golf and now I have a game that I am proud of. Thank you and thanks to Mr. Hogan!
I like it. Very simple to understand. I use the Swing Machine Golf system which is also a "body swing" theory/technique. Only difference is I don't cock my wrists consciously but let them hinge naturally. Then unwind with my lower body. I will need to try your right elbow connection and the unbowing of the wrisr as I am prone to the dreaded snap hook on my drives :( Great job!
I treid this yesterday,with mainly my irons,and i was caining them.I was 8 over on the back nine and that included a 3 over on a par 3.This truely does work.I was even putting spin on the ball,and making it stop on the greens.I have never done that before.I have never hit my irons like that in my golfing carrer,and im 60 years old now.Im playing tommorow again and will keep you updated.For those who are worried about it working,dont be just go for it.I never hit so many greens with my 2nd or 3rd shot.Happy days.
The right wrist bent, knuckles towards back of wrist move has just open the gates for me! Half power swings and the rockets are flying. Very important not to let your shoulders move first at the top of backswing. I found out by trial n error. Keep your shoulders quiet at the top as u go to the slot. Thank you for your research n the time to do what u do. Not a better feeling in the world when u finally hit every club in your bag with minimal effort. Just technique, the correct technique. I'm the first to say in the past after a good round that the next time out felt as if I'd never swung a club. Lol! Also the accuracy is there now n did I say the power? I'm 33 yrs old and with the driver, went from an honest 235 yd drives to an even more honest 275 yds! I feel like doing videos on you like u are of mr. Hogan. Have a good one and thank YOU!!!
It's a powerful feeling to suddenly KNOW you can flat out cream a golf ball. :)
Can u elaborate on what you mean by letting the shoulders stay quiet at the top?
You keep them supple, and don't engage the shoulders as the downswing begins. Feel like the right shoulder dips at the start.
Brilliant, simply brilliant 👌
Brilliant ! Thanks !
Fab Video, many thanks!
Christo - you have absolutely rejuvenated my enthusiasm for this game. I was a collegiate player 35+ years ago and still carry a low single digit but found I was playing more off of athletic ability versus swing fundamentals. The main area where I'm not getting to the proper position is my hip rotation at impact (standing too tall at impact as well). What do you recommend for drilling that in to your swing? As an aside, I watched a Johnny Miller video on Hogan this morning and he made the point that his left palm faces the target at the finish, which he claimed no one did during his era, but he's seeing it more today
Hey Christo, I watched this video and tried to apply some of this into my swing and I liked it. I will continue to watch a learn from you. My question to you is what is you typical ball flight more draw or fade?
Amazing!
you know your stuff mate well done
Wow! Great Job sir . I like it and thank you
Nicely explained!
Man... what a great video. I am a huge admirer and student of Ben Hogan's golf swing. I try to learn everything that I can about his swing because I think that he was in a class of his own when it came to maximizing precision and power simultaneously. I had already known and implemented a fair amount of what you said in the video but you were able to shed further light into my understanding of the motion of the swing in the few minutes of this video alone (first one I watched and just immediately had to say how much sense it truly makes as well as thank you). You clearly have a deeeeeep understanding of his swing and therefore the swing in general. Honestly, your own swing is the closest that I have seen to Hogan next to George Knudson, whom I'm sure that you know plenty about and can see uncanny similarities in their swings the same as I. I am thoroughly impressed at how sound your swing looks though. And I know the only way you could reach that was to understand it thoroughly. I've read all the books and I've dug and I've dug and I've dug. Still a long way to go but your videos are going to help me. I am a 23 year old recently graduated d1 college golfer who literally turned pro a few hours ago after competing in the regional championship in Chapel Hill. We finished in 6th and it was because I couldn't make any putts. Much work to be done. Anyways just wanted to say thank you so much for helping me take the next step(s). It is unlikely that our interaction will go much further than this but I hope I can learn more. Can't wait to dig deeper and watch the rest of these videos.
All the best and thank you,
Kelby
KelbyB06 Thank you, Kelby! Hogan to has the best golf swing by far! Are you on the Facebook page? Why don't you send me an email of your swing at myswingevolution@yahoo.com. I'd love to hear more. Best of luck with your career!
I am not on Facebook so no but absolutely I'll send you an email with some videos. Thank you
excellent video. Thank you!
nice bro thanks, I'm that new golfer you mentioned. very helpful, I like the use and create your own mentality. thanks
I've watched this a few times, and just noticed something new. Whereas most pros seem to bring the shaft over their shoulders in the back swing, you appear to almost have the shaft parallel to your shoulder line and behind your shoulders. That creates a far less aggressive, and far more relaxed looking transfer to the downswing.
Excellent video!
That right ("atomic") elbow is everything. Totally changed my swing forever.
I can't wait to give the Atomic E a try.
This is an excellent video. Thanks.
You are very welcome. Glad to share what's helped my game so much!
Great stuff!!!
Very helpful👍
You are right. Greatest swing ever. Imagine if he had the equipment today.
Doug Sanders told me he would be unbeatable. Player said the same thing.
Hello Christo, i like your channel...great videos of Mr Hogans swing.
Helpful!
Spent a couple of hours at the range trying this swing. Its pretty tough. Ill be working on it for a while. Good stuff..,
Keep your right elbow on your ribs on the back swing and you will swing like Hogan
GREAT explanation! Thank you. Your finish was so close to Hogan's I could barely tell the difference. Good job! I hope you are breaking in to the 60's my friend...
+Cupbearer Thanks a lot! I have shot 70 (2 under) twice now. I'm feeling like a breakthrough could come any day!
thanks for breaking it down.
Excellent video. Great channel.
Great Video and Audio. Clear and to the point. I would like to see your full swing in your future videos in slo-mo and would like to see the elbow drop into the slot and see where the hips are in your swing. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Wow! Thank you so much for this 🙏 so frustrated with my swing and remembered reading Ben Hogans book as a youngster, found your page and yes!! My biggest fault was my grip and just changing this (short thumb lead hand and two middle fingers on the other) has helped so much 👍🏻🏌️♂️
