Great vid, the most important thing you said to me was the hips leading you through the shot. That really helps you get into that slot. Perfect Swing
Michael Loughlin Thanks, the only perfect Swing in my opinion.
Truly an amazing swing every time I get loose I watch a hogan video and it all seems to make sense again and certainly helps me with what I need to tighten things up on the range
Great Video!!! Mr. Hogan is my favorite golfer bc his swing was not only his science but his art. I'm working on the same with my swing. I've been playing since I was 5 and though I've always been a good player I have always had swing image issues which has led me to the pursuit of the perfect physics of the golf swing.
This is so nice. Keeping that A imposed against him really frames his structure, his coil, and his release. (Top of the follow-through is as powerful as his backswing. NOTHING flying off or letting down. It's the proof of everything that happened during the swing.)
It's beyond iconic, and I completely agree with your sentiment that it is the most effective, efficient, and masterful swing ever created. There is NOTHING hurried, rushed, out-of-place, out-of-balance, or lopsided whatsoever. How connected he is at address. He gets every ounce of power from those shoulders.
Hogan's wrist action through the hitting area, the late release with perfect supination causing the club face to stay square well past the ball. Trevino had it as well. Tne latest iteration of Hogans wrist control is the most modern technique of Koepka. But it would be difficult to match the artistry of the old master.
The most beautiful swing OF ALL TIME.
Period.
I can't pick between him and Sam
There are a few factors in how to play golf better. One place I discovered that successfully combines these is the Gavs Golf Tactic (check it out on google) it's the most incredible resource i've seen. Check out all the awesome info .
@@marceloalfonso7130 it's called drinking
Amen
Moe Norman always said to me, "Hogan was great in his own way." Ben Hogan and Moe Norman had the highest respect for each other as the two greatest ball strikers in their era. Hogan once said in an interview, " Moe Norman is the only golfer he would walk across the street to watch." Its a shame that purity of technique has disappeared in golf today where hamburger divots have replaced the bacon strip iron shots of Hogan and Norman.
Christo, I wish you the very best on your journey to reach your full potential as a ball striker and player. Keep up the good work on your swing evolution from your study of Ben Hogan's pure golf swing.
Here is a little something I have learned during my experiences with great ball strikers, "To obtain a sense of personal satisfaction in golf requires focus on what your trying to achieve while at the same time during your practice sessions you must practice the right things to reach your full potential." Simple, though gospel for Ben Hogan and Moe Norman who are two great ball strikers. These target oriented players had many similarities particularly with weight shift and leg drive while each had a different approach to the golf swing in accordance with their own make-up. GL
Thank you, Mr. Lavern. I have learned so much from Moe Norman as well. The greater knowledge provided by these two greats has made the game I've played my entire life so incredibly enjoyable - finally!
nice video - odd but i myself started imagining the letter A superimposed after watching some fred couples swing videos a couple years ago. This video shows how Hogan's driver swing had his head preset behind center for greater distance and consistency from that anchored right hip, yet which comes back to center before impact to match his impact head position with the shorter clubs.
I absolutely agree with you Christo! I got inspired by Mike Maves too. And what you said from 3:05 is so true! That's EXACTLY what I feel about video-analysis and drawing lines.
The key is the straightening or locking of the right leg in the back swing.. Trevino does the same.. This prohibits swaying off the ball and allows to fully load the body to produce a powerful and natural move to the left with eventual posting on the left leg at follow through... This keeps you in the A frame.
actually hogan said in 5 lessons that right leg should be bent inwards slighly to become a stabilizer, but you are correct in the result trying to be achieved.
Simple but profound fundamentals, I always go back to Hogan's basics in order not to forget how to swing....lower body, let those arms follow!
Hi Christo, being a Hogan enthusiast myself I would like to share another thought with you with regards to Hogan teaching us about a connective set up. As you might recall in seeing Mr Hogan in an old video on the Ed Sullivan Show 1953 he clearly states that the shoulder which (includes the scapular ) is connected to the elbow which in turn is connected to the hip which is then connected to the knees and the knees connected to the feet. After all these years I feel I finally understood what he was attempting to reveal to a national audience at the time. Mainly that since connections of the body starts at the top (the scapular and shoulders) all one really needs to think about is on the back swing to pull the right scapular back allowing shoulders to turn 90 degrees or more at the top of the swing. This action will provide for the coiling of the body since as Hogan suggested that all parts he mentioned of the body are connected . The downswing will then simply consist of pulling the left scapular back allowing the shoulders to to achieve up to a ninety degree turn at the finish ( depending on one youth) . Another key to Hogan great swing was his use of the trigger finger of his right hand. At age 70 and 50 lbs weight loss I am hitting balls straiter and better then I ever had done before. Thanks for reading and continued success. When you focus on Hogan Scapular and shoulders during his entire swing you will see what I am saying to be true.
I agree. When I first experienced this swing, the role of the trigger finger was instantly evident. It is an amazing feeling when the turn brings the upper body and arms into the slot, and you feel the "parametric acceleration" through impact. So much space in the backswing/downswing that I feel like I could eat a sandwich while I wait for the club to return to the ball. I wish I had started playing golf 30 years sooner.
Yes, you have an advanced understanding. Now, check Christo's swing against Hogan's. You can see that Hogan's right elbow scythes down to his right hip by .36/10.24 and stays there until .53/10.24. Incredible coordination of body turn and elbow parking. Christo's elbow seems to get ahead of his hip too early, however, that might be due to a tricky camera angle. I'm thinking that Hogan parked his right elbow in front of his hip and kept it there for accuracy. I'm also thinking that Christo needs to either work on that or get a new camera. What about you, TS? "Could "Parking the Right Elbow" be a new chapter for Christo's book?
Excellent tutorial saved me a lot of time and effort. Glad he is your idol will look for the The Hogan Code!
Thank you very kindly, Petrina.
Great video. I agree a classic swing. His swing didn't hurt his body over time unlike the modern players swing. Hogan's book Five Lesson is amazingly detailed. Considering the era he wrote it in and the lack of video tools he had available to him it is obvious he learned every aspect of his swing.
great work man!! congrats. will try to emulate this swing. thanks a lot
Great explanation mate! Love your videos, keep up the great work
This golfer won 25% of the US Opens he played in.
Whoa! If you count the Hale America Open by the USGA during WWII that'd be even higher!
First let me say I love your analysis video of Mr. Hogan. Because of you I also try to emulate some of his moves. Your analysis gives me great understanding of the theory of the mechanics of a proper swing. Some things to note that may assist in some of us not getting the perfect swing are these. 1. Please take into consideration that Mr. Hogan's swing worked optimallyl for his height. I'm 6'2" so my swing axis may differ. Also if you are not his exact height the area to observe for optimal contact is not necessarily the push and pull of the handle, but the side bend angle that will optimize contact and clearing of the hips. This will make it easy to duplicate rather than the push and pull methodology. Also ball placement and range of flexibility will effect your swing performance. Again this is an excellent video. Please keep up the great work. I love your videos.
Shawn James Thank you 🙏🏻
Hogan was a short dude with a 6 foot plus wingspan. Main reason why it's a bad idea for the majority to think they can copy that move. I've seen many fall into the Hogan trap.
that swing is utterly breathtaking, the greatest swing ever created, one could say so much, but its very interesting to that 'separation' of the left shoulder from the head or even the left side of the face, I've never fully understood that until i saw this film, as I now know my left shoulder and head (or as I call it my glued left face) were moving 'together' leading to disaster,
thanks for all your work, your swing really looks and sounds fantastic
His arms and club shaft create a " Y " at address, unlike say other pro's who seem to create a different looking " Y " because their left arm and club shaft seem to make a straighter line than Hogan's. Please comment on this.
Im digging the gregegorian chantlike music
also thank you for clarifying that a slight lateral bump with the left hip should initiate the downswing.
To me, I see him "falling" into a flexed left leg as he sets up his throw.
Really effective way of describing that move. puts a visualization of what action is really happening, because it is not a "shift" that happens. It's a downward "compression", if you will, of the leg. Creating his ability to have that nice braced, powerful, left knee through impact, which ultimately allows his hips to release so well and freely. As opposed to the commonly seen "snapping" of the left knee up through impact causing a steeper hip tilt, ultimately slowing hips down due to the lack of support the hip has to rotate around
Excellent breakdown!
I trust your Hogan Code video will discuss the "pushing and pulling" of the handle in greater detail. I also struggle with clearing my left hip properly. It's my Achille's heel right now.
+Jeff Bahry Overcoming that left side problem was the last piece of the puzzle, hence why I finally produced The Hogan Code and the results have been spectacular!
Awesome!
Great video 👌
Hey Christo. Recently found your channel and getting back into golf after some years away and recent medical issues. Can't wait to start my own swing evolution. I am hoping for a repeatable swing to play better golf. Inspirational stuff, keep up the great work
Thank you, James! It's a great game, and it's a lot more fun when you're crushing it and making birdies!
Your Analysis is 100%
Ben Hogan is/was to playing golf , what Eric Clapton is/was to playing guitar.
I ❤️your videos
The Hogan Code is worth every nickle. Christo breaks down every aspect of Mr Hogan's swing and uses his own, original analysis, from the grip to the finish. He has a way of explaining it using easy to understand mental image concepts that are very well thought out and allow you to 'feel' the swing in your mind and on the course. He also shows how you can practice these concepts and apply them to your swing. Not everyone can swing like Mr Hogan, but everyone can gain a lot of knowledge from him and the Hogan Code. I think Mr Hogan himself would approve of Christo's video....It's like an updated video version of '5 Lessons'. As a golfer who has played for over 30 years myself, it's the best breakdown I've ever seen of the finest swing in golf.
+Henny Bogan Thank you, sir. Twas a labor of love and I even enjoyed the struggles. But, now I believe the great adventure begins!
Dang Christo....your swing is spot on!
+Chris Burns Thanks. All the work has been well worth the effort.
the thing about stacking is that it is based on the premise that you should do just that. the difference with hogan was that he got his weight onto his left foot (the instep) at the top when he moved into a level left position, but his weight did move over to his right side in the first part of his back-swing. it was his lower half that controlled the move and the turn. the idea that he moved around either leg as though it was a post is wrong. you can see that mike maves does have the hogan "move" in his right leg, but the lesson that he gave in the video was not consistent with the "move." the right leg is key. for one simple fact: the right leg either assists the swing or it resists the back-swing. hogan's right hip turned right up to the top of his back-swing, so it is a fair guess that the right leg should assist and not resist, the back-swing.
you did a great job on this.....
Thank you very much. A labor of love.
I'm surprised that no one has commented on his book, Five Lessons. I studied it several years ago and practiced each segment of the swing he taught in order to compile 'my swing' using the fundamentals he laid forth. My golf swing improved dramatically. I got out of the game for about five years and I'm just now getting back in to it. I couldn't find my Five Lessons book so I bought another one and finished reviewing it today as part of my re-entry to golf. I'm sure I will refer back to it as I continue to work on my swing. But the thing that really gets me is this. In his book he articulated in great detail about the fundamentals of the golf swing and how adhering to those fundamentals will help anyone who applies their self intelligently. I didn't see anything that said, "Unfortunately, you will not be able to use this information to improve your golf swing until sometime in the future when someone produces a video of my swing, analyzes it and re-articulates what I have said here."
Aside from the nice video of his swing for which I am grateful, I find it the height of arrogance for anyone to try and profit from his work that he put nearly 25 years in to, simply because they have a nice video of his swing, applied themselves and now intend to benefit from his lessons. Sir, you have not 'decoded' anything at all. You seemingly read his book, you applied yourself and now you're putting yourself out there as some kind of expert golf swing analyst. What a farce.
Thank you for your comment, Lawson. I made a 5 year documentary about my study of the Ben Hogan golf swing using 5 Lessons on this channel that has over 10,000,000 views. I have made over 380 videos of that experience that are free for the public. The work in 5 Lessons stands alone as the greatest golf instructional book in history. I merely tell my story about how it helped me get better and what I experienced along the way. I am sponsored by the Ben Hogan Golf Equipment Company. I'm working with the Ben Hogan Museum, and I am making a feature documentary about Mr. Hogan in the hopes of keeping his spirit and work alive for future generations. I am an award-winning filmmaker, and that is how I am contributing to the legacy of Ben Hogan. Perhaps, you will also devote years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars to help preserve his legacy as well? I would love to see your swing and hear your thoughts about what made Ben Hogan's swing so special. I recognize that to you it all seems like a farce, but upon deeper investigation you may find as many others have that what my subscribers and I are doing is fun, informative, and beneficial to the memory of the man we all admire.
Well said. I've also read "Five Lessons", and I agree that it is the best book on basic fundamentals ever written among the materials I've reviewed along the way. I didn't find it useful at first. A lot of the advice is similar to many other instructional materials I've seen.Then recently at the driving range I accidently discovered the "secret" through the impact zone. Then immediately I discovered how to aim down the line and experienced the great amount of space in my swing, allowing me to go as hard at the ball as I please. It is as if a light was switched on, and now I actually understand the flaws in my old swing, and everyone else's' too. I also finally understand with a new level of clarity all of the other concepts in Hogan's book, especially the grip. It can be locked in, putting your swing in auto-pilot, given the proper alignment. Amazing. I can now concentrate on other aspects of the game, confident that I will make good contact, hit the ball where I want to, and picked up some yardage to boot. And the swing really can be used on every club in the bag. I will continue to watch videos and explore other swing techniques, but so far I can see no reason to ever change this swing. There is no better sequence of motions in any swing I have attempted. I'd like to say thanks to Christo for providing the informative entertainment. I'm a Hogan fan, and I appreciate the effort.
Your comment is greatly appreciated and I'm very happy for you!
Cristo, what an elegant and informative response to this Lawson character...you have brought a newfound joy to my lifelong Hogan journey, and worked with Gregg "The Hat - Jedi Master"!!!
Thank you Mister ! :) for you, it Mister Hogan, not "Hogan". When you use always his Name.
Thank you, you are very polite.
....and sorry for my bad English ;)
The key to Hogan's swing is in the setup. As anyone paying attention knows, he gripped the club with a slightly open face. Now to accommodate this and get the club face square he had to adjust his stance. All one needs to do is to start with a slightly open grip out in front with the feet square. Now turn the knees, hips and shoulders only, towards the front leg and place the club face down even with the heel of the front foot. This will make the face appear to be pointing to the left (for righties). While maintaining this new setup point the club face square to the target line. This is the Hogan setup - the foot line closed and the hips and shoulders slightly open. This allowed Hogan to maintain the "A" in his back swing since there will not be much lateral movement and he would naturally bring the club to the inside. As he continues to explain in this excellent instructional video from 1964, the downswing starts with the lower body. The one thing he doesn't explain is that there is no need to come at the ball from the inside but that one can come at it as hard as possible straight down the target line, very similar to a baseball swing, with a full release and no angles to be held (as this would cause an undesired block or pull). Thank you, Christo, for your outstanding work and passion. I've enjoyed your channel from its humble beginnings. Peace...
+SwingLikeBenHogan1951 : I would love to see a video on this. The narrative you wrote is intriguing, and I can understand most of it. However, as a visual learner it would be so cool to see this in action because I've never read anything like this before about Hogan. Thanks for sharing!
+L Dupree look up Hogan setup ball position, and you will see a diagram of how the ball stays in the same spot but his stance becomes more square to the target and his stance got narrower as he used shorter and shorter irons.
*****
Maybe a video will be in the cards :) Just beware that I am one of those reprehensible southpaws.
I agree. Please post a video. Thank you!
+SwingLikeBenHogan1951 He also aimed way right to allow for that nasty low hook, said so himself he'd be screwed on a tight hole or a dogleg right..
Great work on the swing - thanx ;-) Sam Sneads two back lefthand fingers on the grip, is a great way to achieve the Hogan wrist move trhrough the ball - agree?
I'm not sure if I've heard about this. Could you explain more in detail?
Yep: Mr Snead talkade about never letting left pinky and ring finger off the grip. Sensing these press the grip will in my mind lead to increased pressure down through the hit. This in turn releaeses the cup in the left wrist. Whats your feel for realeasing the cup? Just bought your download version from your site ;-) Thanx for sharing...
Christo! Do you still change your grip when you want to shape the ball?? Your new video does not talk about shot shaping..
Yes. I strengthen my grip for a draw.
The POAT: Prettiest of All Time
Perhaps the GOAT too
You could save yourself thousands in lessons just watching this over and over and over and over ... really
Can you please tell me how did you put letter A on top of the video, I wanted to analyze my own swing with a reference A. to see where I can improve.
I superimposed it in a program called Final Cut Pro. I don't think you can do it without an editing program.
Legend..
wrist cock is where I believe he generated all of his swing speed. I am 55 yrs old now. when I was young I hit an 8 iron 150 160. For awhile it took a 6 iron to get 150 yds. Through the years I have watched Mr Hogan, I took some from him and jack Nic. Jack Nicklause on ball position and Mr Hogan on wrist cock. Love your videos, have turned many on to them. You documented a journey into swing mechanics. That makes you pretty damn OK ! I lost wrist cock. I layed off golf for years from being a solid two Handicap. Started playing a few years ago again and was frustrated. Then I watched Mr Hogan and Jack Nicklause and realized I just plain forgot to cock the wrists. At 55 yrs old I now hit the 8 140 150... Keep up the good work Christo. PS... Pulled the pin and now have the 10.5 Driver and the 15 d 3 wood from Bomb Tech. Love em. Waiting on a full set of wedges as I type. Keep up the good work. !!!
Not to get off the subject but at 7:33 I've been experimenting with the feeling of the left elbow turning over or decelerating to allow the hands to break over nicely. This prevents the body from overrating, and other good habits. May I get your thoughts on that topic?
JayZoop Mr. Hogan's elbow exercise I believe ingrains the action you're describing.
Thanks. I will look into that more. I remember in one of your earlier videos you noticed how some players on their warm-up swing they drastically cross over left on the follow through. I wonder if they do that to promote the feeling that we are talking about.
I think that when Ben Hogan was plagued by a hook, he formulated a method which would work without changing his powerful hand action. He sets up with a weak, anti.-hook grip. Club face slightly open at address, even more open club face on the way down, then the magic move (or secret) he tries to hook the hell out of it. With this set up even he couldn't hook it. What do you get if you can't quite draw it? A dead straight shot.
Paul Edmondson his shots were described as power fades post car crash
Very nice! You should analyze the top ten players in history and get back to us in 60 years. I'm too old to care about improving my technique but not too old to analyze everything...
Great breakdown, but is there a chance that you'll do a video discussing his swing plane from dtl view as well? I always feel like so many people say that he has such a flat swing plane, but the slo-mo video shows that the club travels very upright through his backswing and only flattens out on his approach into the ball. I'd be interested to see your take on this.
I agree with you. To me it looks like a deep backswing rather than "flat."
Have you studied the swings of Mike Austin and Mike Dunaway? Their swings are great examples of "spiral" energy. They also do a great job of abducting the front should and adducting the rear shoulder. This increases their turn and "takes the slack out" as they say. I don't feel those shoulder actions get enough attention.
I have studied Mike Austin but I should check out Mike Dunaway. It's important to take the slack out.
Nice video thanks
Hi Christo - Great motion. But noticed you roll the inside of your front foot over on your downswing (at say 8:13 in the video). Hogan's is relatively stable. On Hogan's swing, I think he gets a bit of separation from his heel and the ground, allowing him to stomp down and re-establish his pivot point on his front foot on the downswing.
Absolutely love your comments on the right knee 'running into the ball'.
+Jason Ing I'm working on my left foot. George Knudson said it took over a year for him to keep it planted.
+myswingevolution Great Christo! Have you read that part of Mickey Wright's book where she talks about the rolling method of transferring weight on the downswing? Quite profound. That being said, my major swing thought going down is to start it with my back knee running at the ball.
Hogan applying a right handed punch is the perfect analysis to his swing. Every golfer and I mean every golfer should try proper shadow boxing prior to his swinging the club. Check out any video on shadow boxing 101. Note the boxer's powerful thrusting of his right arm and fist out to his imaginary opponent through the help of his right hip. knee, and feet. Note in this video that this is the exact sequence Hogan uses in his delivering his punch through the ball. Christo please try my shadow boxing practice technique and let me know if helps you. I am thrilled with it and I think you will be to. Hogan looks like a boxer and I think shadow boxing was his secret. If you ever make a video on my shadow boxing recommendation I would love it if you mention my name. Feel free to spread the word.
Hi Cristo. What move was Hogan making to get his right elbow in front of his hip? Was he actually moving that body part, the right elbow into that position or was he doing something else that moved the right elbow in that position automatically? I find it is hard to move the right elbow into that position by simply trying to move it there.
I do not believe he did anything independent with the elbow, no right elbow drive per se. Watch him demonstrate how the lower body moves first, and I believe he just wanted his right arm under his left to begin the downswing. IMHO
Christo just sayin if you win the U.S amateur or mid am you get a ticket to Agusta County Club,that would be a nice chapter in this journey!!!
+Robert Cabrera Now, that's a fun imaginative exercise!
まったく・えーとなんだっけ？タテブリの話しだったっケ？では・🌸ベンはアドレスしワッグルによるスイングの全体像 を確かめスイングに入ります。そしてアドレスフェースはそのまま閉じたままトップをむかえます。なんかフラットになったようですがそのトップを静止して体をクラブに対して正面にするとアドレスの形になるのですね。これがいわゆるスクエアスタンスです。クラブシャフトがその忙しいスイングにおいて常に体の中心にあるなど有り得ないですよね。それがベンのスイングであり現代においてのスイングメソッド用語はここから生まれているのですね。でもこのコメントはドロボーされるかな？
Do you teach about Mr. Hogan's power fade? Did he mostly hit a power fade with all of his clubs? And, how did he do it. In reading and trying follow the teachings in the Five Fundamentals I always assumed that he primarily hit a draw. But now I hear that he mostly hit a power fade. Any help?
Walter Lyon he hit fades on everything to take out the left side of golf course
any tips on keeping the right foot planted on the transition from the backswing to the downswing?
Your weight has to go deep and stay there.
Sure. As the first move in this transition is the hips to the left. The action of the right foot is involuntary as the swing progresses into the hit part of the arc and the resulting weight shift to the left. If your right foot is moving, then you are not transferring the weight to the left properly for another reason. Don't ever try and lift the ball into the air right the right side. Hit the ball first and that should clear up your issue. Best
Wrong vid. I was looking for Hulk Hogan's golf swing. Looking to generate power from my pythons.
Christo, any drills or practice ideas for keeping the left elbow tucked in at and after impact!?
Throw the club head like you are throwing a ball and the elbow will do what it needs to!
I have a better one for you, because quite frankly, as an instructor, hearing the word "throw" in any golf swing analysis makes me cringe. go to a practice bunker with your 7 iron. take your set up as normal, ground the club(no ball for this drill) from the grounded club mark draw a straight line about 6 inches out in the sand that points down your "target line". should look like this essentially: l-------- take full swings while trying to feel that right elbow tuck and try to take out that target line while holding a square face but releasing your elbow tuck. divots in the sand if done properly shouldn't be excessively deep, but results of that will vary with the different types of sand there are in the golf world.
with a neutral grip and a cupped left wrist at the top, I presume his clubface was open to the plane at the top...and then he squared it up in the transition - what is the purpose though of the cupped wrist vs keeping it square at the top? would this be to prevent a hook???
He hit a really bad hook it helped prevent that
Jim Squires I don't think having a cupped or bowed left wrist matters so much at the top. Eventually everyone has to get to a bowed left wrist at
P6 (on the downswing). Dustin Johnson and a lot of other guys have a really bowed left wrist at the top....these guys don't manipulate it Per Se like Hogan....Maybe manipulation isn't a good term....But As Hogan shallows the downswing, the left wrist rolls to a bowed position....this is the Hogan Roll Christo talks about.
it's like mr.Hogan said it's right there you just gotta understand what to look for.
the greatest
If Ben Hogan didn't change his strong grip and his aim (Said himself he aimed way right to allow for his hook), we would have never heard of Ben Hogan.. His fundamentals changed drastically but people tend to focus too much on technique and not what actually allowed him to make the anti-left move..
GOD gave him a gift I dont think anyone will be able to replicate what he can do....hard as we may try and come close it will never be a copy...the HAT comes close but Mr. Hogan has been gifted by GOD through hard work
I see it but I can't duplicate it. It's helped me get much better just trying!
@@MiracleSwingExperience and you have done an amazing job...and your helping others
SEM MES I’m so glad I’ve found many of the answers I was looking for. Happy to share!
I think his book is in my bag
Christo In your book do you advocate as Ben Hogan did at the set up to have both elbows pointing towards their perspective hip? One way I learned how to remind myself to do this is I imagine myself lifting five pound Dumbbells and then folding my elbow. When I then lay my club on the ground I actually feel my elbows pointing to my hips. One other point you may want to put in your book and video; if you have not is: is that upon approaching to the ball one must first and always always bend the hips; second, align oneself to the target; and then after having accomplish these two things; one should flex their knees but only after the ball is placed perpendicular to the clubhead. I was informed this when I had a professional golf lesson from one of Martin Hall golf instructor's at Ibis Country Club in West Palm Beach Fl. It works great every time. Let me know what you think.
That all sounds good
+myswingevolution Hi Christo, So as yourself I believe I am starting off with the grip, stance and posture that Hogan recommends in his book. I would like to report what I believe to be a break though for me. Hogan writes that the take away begins with the hands and quickly followed with the arms and shoulders. I modified this just a bit by having my right hand pulling my left arm to the end of my back swing. It is as if I feel my left arm during the back swing is nothing more then a piece of rope that is easily pulled and straiten out by my right hand during the process of my back swing. With this action of my right hand, I feel a tremendous stretch of my back muscles and coil of my body with just the right amount of rotation of my hips. At the top of my swing I simply let go of my pulling of the right hand and inaugurate the downswing with the turning of the hips as Hogan recommends in his book. Tom Tomasello, a golf instructor during Hogan's time was the first to come out with the notion that as far as golf goes the left arm is simply a piece of rope. Try this minor adjustment and I bet you will add 10 more yard to your full swing capacity, I had my Brother in law try this the other day and he could not believe the power he had over the ball. Tomasello says in a golf swing one should use effortless power over powerless effort. PS: Hogan's friend Sam Snead said the the downswing start with the pulling down of the left hand. So whichever you prefer; hips or left hand; with tomasello back swing method, the downswing will work for anyone,
Nice tip and I love the Tomasello quote about effortless power!
+myswingevolution Thanks. when you try this let me know if it adds a little more distant or not.
Christo, you know so much about Ben Hogan's golf swing; yet, when I watch you execute it, you don't seem to "drop and park" your right elbow opposite your right hip as he does. In other words, if you examine the Hogan video at .36/10.24, Hogan has dropped his right elbow and parked it opposite the rear of his right hip. He keeps it there until .53/10.24. The magic is that Hogan's body turns with the right elbow; your body and elbow seem to separate in that time frame. Do you have a discombobulated body turn, or is your Hogan triangle out of control? Of course, I get that you have studied and worked very hard to produce a magnificent, Hogan-like swing. So, comment on the significance of the hip/elbow connector and be sure to tell us if the camera is playing tricks on our eyes, or if you have a roving right elbow. I'm asking you this question out of respect because you are smart enough and good enough to answer this question. As for me, I'm trying to sync the two up because it might enhance consistency. Could "Parking the Right Elbow" become a new chapter in "Cracking the Hogan Code"? Thanks, Christo & good work. You should take your stuff to some respected university and submit it as a PhD thesis in the mechanics of the golf swing.
Thank you for the comment, Chester. You may be surprised to hear the work I've been doing for the last few weeks has been rear arm connection. You are very observant and I believe it is crucial. Have a look at my latest video called Current Driver Swing and you'll see a much better turn. Cheers.

Christo, have you tried the new Ptx irons? I wan't to know if they are worth waiting for.
+ACOUPER100 Not yet, but they should be out soon. I'm talking to them about a head to head match up!
What is the violen music at the end called
Amen
And how important is it that his left leg starts to straighten on the downswing? Does that keep him from sliding too much? Dos it help to clear the hips?
No. It is not important. I had it wrong until I started working with Gregg McHatton. The left leg should be bent at impact and it straightens as a result of the quads and left glute activating to stabilize the lower body as the upper body fires.
+myswingevolution HI. I went to the range at lunch and tried rotating round my right leg like it was a post. And it really promoted smooth hip rotation on the backswing, without my right knee sliding back. The right leg stays at the same angle. Thank you so much for taking the time to discuss. I love your videos.
well the mid am is match play then off to Agusta as amateur. i think you can dance judo chop and swing your way to it.😆
Ok need some more detail on the left hand going up thru the ball?? Pls. I don't understand this and can't get the feel at all. Could u clarify for me sir?
+Jason Mobley I used to think you swing out to the ball, but the club is already built to reach out to the ball. So, rather than swinging out I now feel like I'm pulling in. This is all described in great detail in my new video which is over an hour and forty minutes.
+myswingevolution Few teachers explain the swing left thing as well as you do Christo (until they pay other instructors for lessons lol). People do need to understand Hogan hooked the ball badly until he developed this. So if your slicing you need to fix the backswing or transition, and if your hooking you need to fix the release.
Did Hogan ever take lessons -- from anyone... at any time?
He definitely had in depth discussions about the swing with his contemporaries. He thanks Henry Picard.
Hogan was doubled-jointed in both wrists. Check the angle between his hands and arms... at the TOP of his swing. That angle is not possible unless you are double-jointed in your wrists.
Hogan's left elbow folds up against the body in the follow through, but I don't see that in Christo's swing. Just sayin'.
Wide, Narrow, Wide
Hello, I am hoping someone here will have some helpful advice for me. I paid for the video, The Hogan Code and, for portability reasons, I tried to download it to my iPad. I couldn't find it on my iPad anywhere, so I tried to go back to the link and download it to my computer instead, but got the message that the video had already been downloaded and you only get one copy. Does anyone know if an iPad has a downloads folder, like on a computer? If so, where would I find it? I have asked for help in the comments section of the myswingevolution website three times and have not received a response from any of them. Needless to say, I am very disappointed.
+Wade LeDrew Hello Wade. Please send me an email at myswingevolution@yahoo.com . I am sorry for your frustration and I will get you set up right away.
You know I dont wanna be rude or anything like that but if you want more subscribers you should do more swings than just Ben Hogan.
This is an analysis of Ben Hogan. I've done other swing analyses. But, Ben Hogan's swing was the best IMHO.

It is folly to believe that one can completely recreate the swing of another golfer. Our physical attributes and neurological systems differ and are unique to our own genetics. One should watch Hogan's swing as one would watch a talented dancer. Understanding and watching a given sequence of physical motions is one thing; being able to reproduce them using our own minds and bodies is an impossible task.
And yes, it is likely that Hogan's golf swing is the "best" ever recorded on film.

"Work of art" lol It's just some guy swinging a stick! Hahaha
Da Guvna Right? It’s so amazing and easy looking.
Way past parallel at the top, old school swings were much looser than modern golf swings are today, more lower body movement and more of a fluid motion. His head movement on the back swing is probably because he is using his dominant eye to focus on the ball, that's my guess anyhow.
I am seeing something different than you Christo. I see the video of Hogan's motion as a reaction to his intent.
At his peak during the US OPEN, Nicklaus played with Hogan and said later that Hogan could basically make the ball do whatever he intended, depending on his angle to the pins. And I think Nicklaus said he hit like every green in regulation, or close to it. So please keep in mind there are basic Hogan swing fundamentals that we see and analyze, but if you actually stood behind him during his best rounds, you would see all sorts of different swing adjustments and different ball flights--fades and draws of all types, trajectories, etc. We simply cannot fathom how good he REALLY was.
wow
Big fan of both your channel and mr. Hogan, but i believe he himself said that (post accident), why would you wan't to copy the swing of a crippled person ?
Unfortunately there are little to none videos on Hogans swing from 1948, which also is the last year he won the Vardon Trophy. So for him to win that many tournaments and majors after his accident, shows just how much of an incredible performance he did.
+MrStianw I think you answered your own question that we lack a lot of video of Mr. Hogan pre accident although it does exist. He won 6 out of the first 9 majors he entered after his accident, so why would you ever want to copy that? The swing I'm analyzing above is better than any swing by any other golfer ever.
+myswingevolution Can't say i disagree with you, but I wanted to hear your thoughts on his swing before the accident. We both agree upon Hogan having the best swing by any golfer ever. :)
As for your video, I really like the part where you talk about Mike Maves doing what Hogan did in his own kind of style, which i believe is what most people forget when they try to copy his or somebody elses swing. We are all created different and therefor one can really only take the key components as you and others have made lots of videos about and try and implement them in a fashion that suits our own bodies. Keep up the good work! Maybe I'll even upload my own swing later this year :)
That would be great! Seeing my swing on video is what made me realize I had work to do and it's changed my golf game and my life!
ベンホーガン。セルヒオガルシアのダウンスイング似てる Persimmon golf club
Ben Hogan had a swing secret, and he discovered it when he was in hospital after the car crash in 1949. Here's proof...
On page 30 of The Stress-Free Golf Swing there's a quote from a golfer that played with Ben Hogan in 1950. And Ben told him about a dream he had in hospital, of a Scottish golfer performing a special swing move.
Hogan told this golfer that he was about to play with, that he was going to use the special move when he played with him. Here is the end of the quote on page 30 of The Stress-Free Golf Swing...
"...To shorten a long story, Hogan kept his word and proved to me that dreams can come true. He had the most efficient swing I had ever seen, and never once hit a bad hook shot. He was in full control of his game."
On pages 31 and 32 in The Stress-Free Golf Swing, you can see before and after pictures of Ben Hogan's swing, and this one secret move that proves he indeed added something to his swing after the accident that improved his ball striking.
Look, we live in a fast paced time, and golf should be relaxing and stress-free.
But when you're fighting your golf swing, golf is certainly NOT stress-free, is it?
However, when you try The Stress-Free Golf Swing by going here, you'll finally be able to hit the ball properly and control where it goes with ease. Here's some other benefits you'll enjoy with this:
- You will only have one move to learn and perfect, which makes the golf swing incredibly easy. And I bet you've never worked on this one move before.
- You won't have countless "to do" lists in your head as you swing. You can play golf instead of playing 'golf swing'.
- You will swing with more power and control with this one move. As a result you will hit the ball longer, straighter and more consistently than ever before.
- You'll finally have a golf swing you can trust, because it's simple and effective.
- You'll have good, consistent ball striking from one game to the next - even if you only play once a week if you're lucky.
- You'll have a body-friendly swing. Hogan's ball striking improved the older he got, and very soon you'll be able to do the same.

Really? Marketing? Shame on you!
Harry Fount what do you want me to do? Clean cars for money? Need money to survive in these days. Shame on you for being such a négative person because the book is amazing.
I play of scratch today thanks to this book. Look me up in The World golf rankings. We will see who will be ashamed.

His weight is clearly on his left leg during backswing. He pushes off that front leg to slot it.
Interesting observation
@@MiracleSwingExperience think about it. How else do you get back onto the front without starting on the front. Stack and tilt method has and always will be the easiest way to swing the club with maximum accuracy and distance. It makes it almost effortless and more focus on actually getting the shot you want.
I like Mr. Hogan and his devotion to his golf...but if you are going to pathern a swing from any one, take, Stewart Madain, Bobby Jone and Jack Nicklaus and mix them all together and add a whole lot of your self....Then you have a SWING for the AGES....
Hogan was a prisoner of his own swing... he had to practice incessantly to maintain it. By his own admission he had to practice daily for fear that he would lose it. Not a swing for the masses and not even emulated by todays Tour Professionals. I agree... saying Mr. Hogan repeatedly is creepy and annoying.
In 1953, Mr. Hogan won 5 tournaments out of 8 that he entered and three of them were majors. That same year he launched the Ben Hogan Golf Company. Somehow he had time to do both. Since he won 6 of the next 9 majors he played after the accident, whatever he had to do worked extremely well. Most pro golfers would do the same if it guaranteed a career like Ben Hogan. I am now a member of the Hogan community that works hard to preserve the legacy of Mr. Hogan and we refer to him as such out of great respect. You do not have to respect him or myself, but these are my opinions.
Quite the opposite... as a PGA member who met Mr. Hogan on several occasions I am am a big fan. I greatly admire his talent, commitment to excellence, passion and unending dedication to finding a swing that finally produced the results he wanted. But this thread was not about his accomplishments, but rather about his swing.
+Edmund Woronicz So, your opinion is that it worked for him but it required too much maintenance to be practical, and folks who refer to him as "Mr. Hogan" are creepy?
Precisely... to much work for the average player.
+Edmund Woronicz Complete horseshit.
is this Conan the barbarian music?????
It's 'Carmina Burana' by Carl Orff
Re getting stuck and popping up...could be a mobility issue. Hogan's freakish flexibility allowed him to swing through and stay down because it probably did not hurt...for us mere mortals, that usually isn't the case. This is why I stopped chasing his swing. It started to hurt...I could "force" myself to stay down, but it started to hurt. I also do better without the hip restriction that he advocated. That made it impossible to turn and complete the backswing...not to mention, I would feel really sore after a range session. If you're very flexible, and it doesn't hurt...I'd say to go for it. If you are not, I'd say go visit Shawn Clement's page. Hogan's not the best model for 99% of us.
+Thomas Michalski I respectfully disagree that Mr. Hogan's swing is not the best model for 99% of us. I have learned quite a bit about this swing, and at 47 I'm doing pretty darn well with it.
+myswingevolution you certainly are and you would be crazy not to continue on your path. It's just interesting that Ben Hogan was extraordinarily flexible in his back and hips and he was double jointed in his hands and thumbs. Therefore it was critical for him to shorten/tighten things up...restrict the hips and even shorten the thumb. I have the opposite issue! I cannot finish my backswing unless I lift my left heel and allow my hips to turn. I am not implying that you can't learn from Ben Hogan...you'd have to modify things though unless you have his flexibility. I shot my first round in the 70's about 5 months after reading 5 fundamentals and trying to implement it...it's a great book. However, I had to abandon some of it...like the restricted hips and the weak grip in order to get the most out of my swing. I don't advocate everything Shawn Clement says either...especially on the short game. I think Dave Pelz model, especially chipping, is more consistent.
+myswingevolution The downswing and pivot yes, but the backswing is an individual thing and is something that evolves by learning how to hit the back of the ball correctly.. Backswing should be the last thing to work on since history shows lots of different backswing moves from great ball strikers..
+Thomas Michalski Check your stance width, I see lots of people with too wide of stance thinking they'll hit the ball further.. Not true.. I agree that is bad advice to restrict hip movement unless you have the flexibility of a gymnast.. What Hogan felt he did and he actually did are two different things.. He has a big hip turn..
+fontaine32 I stand fairly tall...I have a very strange body type...tall torso, so I need to stand taller (narrow stance) or I feel like I'm going to fall forward. I don't hit the ball very far...I bottom out at 245 and top out at 310...most drives are in the 270 range. My range was 220-250 using a weak grip and the restricted turn...I've gotten a lot more flexible this winter because I discovered Hanna Somatics...it will be interesting to see if I can crack the 300 barrier more than a handful of times this summer.
In a vid there is the fourth dimension, but zulu-scale is missing.
Driver swing !.. he stays over it with his irons
Us amateur who as a chance to win have a handicap of around +3 to +5, Christo as maybe a handicap of 2 to 4. He have no chance to win again does player's. Maybe he can win 1 or 2 matchplay but no chance to reach the final
+normand gravel I agree but a fella can dream!
Nope, it's vintage Tiger that had the perfect swing of all time with Hogan's being a close second!
different era and time.....can't compare.....even Tiger will agree to that besides Adam Scott has a terrific swing......but Tiger is the GOAT!
BOBBY JONES
Listen bud, You're supposed to be my swing coach because I'm taking this Ben Hogan thing very seriously and when I send you the questions I expect you to answer them in a timely manner and you're kind of letting me down as a coach. I just want to let you know that I expect you to be there for me when I need you!
I have the neutral grip straight down the shaft. I have my grip proper. I'm kind of a big guy like muscular. And I have broad shoulders. Now what adjustments can I make with the swing plane? It feels very tight like I'm turning way too tight to the inside? I know the plan of glass is there. Jesus I need help I keep hooking the shit out of the ball
Do you know anybody in Massachusetts that specializes in the Ben Hogan swing so I can go get some help? Because it's clear to me that you're not going to help me the way I need you to be there for me
Here I am, the one guy that appreciates the Ben Hogan swing as much as you do and this is the respect you show me. I just can't believe the way your acting my personal swing coach has let me down. And I do believe you are the best teacher of the Ben Hogan swing that's why it hurts even more
And to top it all off I'm a left-handed golfer. That should make this endeavor that much more special to you I'm really shocked at your behavior. At one time you were willing to help me and now you've thrown me in the trash like an old napkin
Ben Hogan was like a hundred and forty five pounds if I remember correctly I am 210 lb of all muscle I need help dude tell me what adjustments to make please I'm begging you
How about Mo Norman? He was also a great ball striker and could repeat it every time. Tiger Woods said Hogan and Norman were the only golfers to own their swing. How was Mo's swing not as good has Ben's?
