Thanks for the support everyone.. enjoy your day!
Thank you for the footage content.
You are welcome Mark thanks for the comment.
Tony that was incredible thanks for the work!
Thanks Jerry appreciate it. Watch that ball position!
Excellent
Thanks Kevin!
Like your analysis- don't usually go for lines but yours were relevant and caught the dynamics, which is a big achievement with 100 year old film. At 12:28 I think his spine angle remains more upright than you suggest- the tilt is not very pronounced. I'll take a look at your others.
Thanks for the comment and feedback. Plenty of videos to watch here! Granted some better than others it all depended on how many hours I was in the sun teaching before I recorded it 😂
Awesome to see the club stay at address as the swing begins moving, reminiscent of modern long drive. (Maybe a correlation between hickory shafts and long drivers using whippy shafts?)
On a sidenote, perhaps you could adjust the thickness of your lines? A thinner line might be a little more readable.
Love your work, thanks for the content!
Thanks for the feedback. Yes it is reminiscent of them, perhaps because they are so strong compared to use they work the current shaft as the golfers of 100 years ago with the hickory's. I hear you about the lines, The problem when I get to edit and fit them in the screen is when it messes things up. I will certainly do a better job with the line thickness but I hope it doesn't take away from the info I am trying to give. Thanks again for the support! Much appreciated.
Solid man!
Thanks Charles!
That lead lag takeaway is still a valid way to play today
Hey ayolla, thanks for the comment and for sure it is, as long as the motion produces better misses, any motion can work!
The left arm breakdowns are insane. How the Hell did they make that work? I can’t hit a ball straight and I don’t budge my left arm lol.
Those guys were so incredible with the sheer amount of timing involved from that whippy (not sure if that a word) hosepipe of a shaft. Wish I could have heard and seen them strike a ball. Thanks doc!
Basic centrifugal forces pull everything straight. If you just let the club swing it just happens.
@@darrinlygrisse5287 That's a good swing thought it can help eliminate pressure and tension.
5 lessons made a lot of difference. 100 years ago they had way too many moving parts and their hands were often disconnected from their body. They also came over the top a lot. Bobby Jones did a bit too.
They had to due to the shaft flex and torque of wood vs. steel. With the invention of steel in the 30s the golf swing naturally evolved as the shaft could now keep up with the body. What Hogan wrote in 5 fundamentals was occurring naturally with the top in the world at that time, it was not revolutionary, but rather his perception of what he did in his swing, which has proven to be not factually accurate. Thanks for the comment!
@@liongolfacademy I have read lots of golf instructional books from the thirties and going into the forties and none of them got anywhere near our understanding of the golf swing as it is now, as 5 Lessons did. Hogan wrote the Golfing Bible. There are a few things at address that Hogan didn't quite get right but apart from that he wasn't far off. As for his perception of what he was doing in his own swing being slightly different to what was actually happening is true to a certain extent. It doesn't detract from what he was teaching though. Maybe professionals were doing bits and pieces of what Hogan did, but he saw the whole picture and was able to articulate it. He hit thousands of balls off, much more than any other pro at the time did so he was in a better position to understand swing mechanics. After 5 Lessons, teaching went backwards going into the eighties. A lot of rubbish was taught then. Left arm control and pulling down with the left arm to start the downswing. Fanning open the club face on the takeaway and not understanding a roll release that came from that. 5 Lessons is a masterpiece. Not perfect but miles past anything that went before.
Golf instruction is all about making money and selling fads, theories, and modalities. It’s just like the fitness industry and is full of people looking to make the quick buck on your dime promising what you want to hear. Many industries in the 80s fell victim to this as well as this had to do with increase of informercials which was another con. There is no secret, or bible to golf instruction. Golf instruction technically started after world war 1 with our first golf instructor Ernest Jones who lost his leg in WW1 and turned to instruction. He is the true “father” of instruction.
True instruction works with the bodies ability, and limitation of a student, and applies and changes fundamentals to affect the clubface however it may to assist in a repeatable motion. The whole notion of finding some sort of secret, is pure nonsense. You can certainly apply some of Hogans version to some, but you can also apply any modality to some as well, it all depends on the users DNA, life habits, and talent. The problem is, 99.99% of golfers are not talented enough, not have the time to replicate any swing you see on TV, including Hogan, so to apply anything they say is unfair for your student, and won’t keep you in business long, unless you enjoy being a traveling snake oil salesman.
If you have time I did a swing analysis on hogans swing up here you may want to check it out. Thanks for the comment and best of luck!
Before the incomparable Ben Hogan, the great Harry Vardon was the first player to have it said of him that he couldn't play a course twice on the same day. Because he'd be playing from his own divot marks in the afternoon!! As much or more than the legendary Bobby Jones, Vardon was the preeminent stylist of his time. Viewing these greats of the past confirms only ONE major difference. They all played in a suit and tie! Other than that, the prerequisites for success are the same. Vardon actually said that he wanted his shoulders to have "tightly corseted control." Strange as it seems the suits they wore probably kept their swings more connected. While Hagen didn't have a jacket on, his swing was also restricted. These men used their lower body as well or better than the players now. They had to. They had to maximize the performance of the GARBAGE CAN equipment they were saddled with!! Even the swing of the brutally powerful, but awkward Ted Ray, shows the movement and rotation toward the target. All before the downswing truly initiates. I love your analysis of changing ball position to make it easier to reach and rotate. Also, saving stress on the back. That is why the average player not only needs to employ many of these swing axioms. They need to experiment on the range to find the ideal combination of factors for them. Fantastic analysis.
Thanks for the comment and little bit of history!
"It's all in the hips"
I’m sure that’s a good bumper sticker right there assuming they don’t already have it! Thanks for the comment
Dragging and cocking was prescribed form then….the swing has not changed because the human body has not changed
😂 indeed it was! Thanks for the comment
I really feel that the modern golf swing could almost cripple a person
For most people it can. The amount of lower back issues I have seen, particularly with juniors has been remarkable and not in a good way. I personally know 3 juniors who have sipped discs in the lumber region because their coaches are trying to teach them the current trends. That motion is reserved for the freaks of nature who naturally are built to get there.
