@@ironsideeve2955 Byron retired from golf in 1946. Hogan changed his grip and lost his duck hook at that time. The rest is history. Would have been interesting if Nelson continued his career when Hogan was at his best.
You got the swing comparison backwards. Even Tiger admits that there were only two individuals that truly owned their swings and he , Tiger wasn’t one of them. Ben Hogan and Moe Norman. So it’s Tiger compared to Hogan not Hogan compared to Tiger.
A good recommendation is to watch pros who have a similar body size and swing style. Different swings can all be good but we can improve within ourselves
That’s you my friend. And your endless mediocrity. You have no idea how many thousands of hours Hogan put into perfecting minute portions of his swing to develop one of the 3 finest and repeatable swings in golf history. 😏
Wee ice mon…the Scots called him… Smaller man that played like a giant, my first swing book was “5 Modern Lessons” But as a taller golfer , not all the lessons were good for me. Hogan’s grip was neutral to weak, because he feared the duck hook. Get lessons that fit YOU.
Depends who's teaching - teaching and swings seem to have come back to Hgans swing fundamental from the crap they (Leadbetter) used to teach in the 80's.
I see and hear alot of ignorant comments, fundamentals,that's what Ben Hogan did,execute fundamentals,load,sit, release. You don't have to see the shot,Ben Hogan hit fairways and greens,at a rate never seen before or after. The reason Hogan won majors at the % he did be was because the more pressure you put on a good swing,the better it gets. Hogan played the last four years with no major veins in his legs,it took two hours to wrap his legs,he won 6 Majors during that stretch. Please don't mention Rory in the same sentence as Hogan, you'll remove all doubt
Mickey Wright was a student of Alex Morrison. Henry Picard was also a Morrison student. Hogan dedicated his first book Power Golf to his friend Henry Picard. They played a ton of golf together and it was Picard that told Hogan he should weaken his left hand on the club. Picard was semi retired from the tour and Head Pro at Hershey country Club. Picard's Asst Pro at Hershey was Jack Grout....Jack Nicklaus' teacher. Ergo.... Grout learned from both Picard and Alex Morrison. The principles of Alex Morrison was then passed on to Jack Nicklaus. When Picard left Hershey Country Club He told the board that they needed to hire Ben Hogan as their head golf professional. They didn't want to do it because Hogan at the time wasn't a big enough name but ultimately he got the job. Finally..... Alex Morrison wrote a book in 1932 called A New Way to Better Golf. It was the best seller. The same principles in 1932 that helped Jack Nicklaus are still valid today.
I love listening or hearing about golfing history... I have a friend who's a walking encyclopaedia on golf and especially in the South Coast of England.
Yes, indeed. When I was a kid, I read his book and I read Julius Boros’s book and I read Jack Nicholas‘s book on how to swing a golf club. Ben Hogan at the time was considered to have the most mechanically perfect golf swing of any golfer ever.
This is a GOLF video. You’re not allowed to see a complete swing or shot result. You must listen to the boring man overly describe how to make a ham sandwich. 😀

Take it easy on me, keyboard warriors. I'm genuinely interested. I play golf when i can, but i know nothing about swing dynamics.
@@demsareunamerican6800 Hogan was great but I'm sure he didn't face the same competition that today's golfers face so it's no guarantee that he would have the same number of wins. I'm sure many of the golfers he faced weren't career golfers and probably had side jobs to help maintain a living.
@@FD-nz7qv Hilarious, you do realize Hogan played Pros. Wow. How about today's players play the equipment he played? Today's equipment is customized, Hogan Era wasn't, big difference. I assume you haven't played old Equipment. I remember when the 1st Metal Driver came out in 1979 by Tayormade, until then they were wood.
@@FD-nz7qv maybe you should look into Hogan's golf career. He also lost playing, serving in WWII and a near fatal car accident. Now look up what he did. Show me any Golfer today that will win 31 tournaments in a 3 year span. Hogan did 1946-48. Then from 1950-53 in 9 total starts at the majors, he won 6X, after his near fatal car accident. Even Tiger won't do that after his car wreck. Hogan would only play 6 tournaments a year due to his car wreck, and still won.
I swear I have no idea why anyone in this day and age would go back to Hogan. First off he's all hands by necessity after the accident and no one teaches a hands move anymore, then there's all the crazy timing moves. There's about a hundred and they're all crazy idiosyncratic, because he's still got the buggy-whip hickory action in there and had to figure out how to do that with a lead pipe.
Is the hand move like a supination of the hand or the hinge? I used to swing plane, which force me to time the club head when dropping my hands. When I see hogan, I see a little over the top love, not excessive but a minor one. So I switched to an inside out swing and got consistent. What I said before was my experience. I assume people go back to hogan because he explains the basic fundamentals of golf in my opinion in an easy way to understand. Some coaches can have that teaching or they can provide many factors to the swing. As well as RUclips golf is mostly confusing. With drills trying once and not working, Hogan explains the swing simply.
@@jadonmakilam4378 over a decade ago I learned not to EVER get into swing mechanics over raw text, and that means you too.

i think they illustrate the point well
Amazing how much his right leg straightens in the back swing. So much in common with Stack and Tilt

Haha 😆 60 seconds just isn’t enough to finish the job. The full 90 second clip is on my instagram page :)
🤡
Thanks for showing the swing. Jesus.
This swing looks much different than his later swings. I prefer the later shorter more compact swing
First move is his head moving away from target. Sets everything in motion. So much for keeping your head still…
I think he’s imitating the point of impact with the knee bent
Hahaha the swing experts in this comment section omfg🤣.
If you can understand all that you have a good chance at hitting it good.
NO ONE ever talks about the fact he is way over parallel , aka john daly, that club almost hits im in the left hip!, gott have soft wrist for that.
If you think more about the body instead of the ball it makes everything easier
Hogans clubs were 2deg open and 2 deg flat. Could fully release without going left
This looks pre-accident pre-swing change, his leg action was not as dynamic after the crash and he has a lot of cup in his left wrist.
Grip is essential Hogan's grip is what made him the best ball striker ever it is golf's best kept secret. Hand's working together.
Mr Hogan
Just that easy😂🎉
Straight line forces.
Straight line forces? Please explain. There are no straight lines in the golf swing
I wonder why he was never nicknamed “Hulk Hogan”? He was a beast on the links, you’d think someone would have thought of this!

God. Not getting the full swing was like a ruined orgasm.

I'm sure he's not thinking
Nothing like ruining the video by writing all over it
Only thing about analyzing one swing is you don't know if it was a good shot. If you showed this to Hogan, he might have said it was a crappy swing.
Shift. realy??? What shif or oly shift and shift back…? Bud if you trye it, try it better😊

Hogan would destroy Rory with today's equipment. Rory won't reach 71 career wins, like Hogan.
The average driver distance for Hogan was 235 with the old equipment back then. Hogan had the heaviest driver swing so I assume he would beat Rory
