I could watch that swing forever, it is like ballet, absolutely beautiful.
wow, gay
Mr. Hogan, Moe Norman, & George Knudson, three of the best to swing a club! RIPand thanks for your great contributions to Life’s Greatest Game!
No question their swings are still studied and marvelled today. Never got to watch Hogan but saw Knudson and Moe up close several times 👍🏼🙏🏻
I learned to play golf by studying Mr. Hogan's 'Five Lessons' book. If you really want to learn to play golf, study the book, follow his instructions exactly, and practice, practice, practice.
My dad caddied for Mr Hogan in 1947 when he played an exhibition at the Alabama Country Club where my dad was a caddy. Mr Hogan the morning after gave my dad several hours of lessons.
He had an influence on my father because in the 60’s and early 70’s my dad was one of the top golfers in the US military with a -4/5 handicap consistently.
My advice if your a male under 5’10 or female golfer, copy Mr Hogan’s playing style. My dad perfectly utilized Mr Hogan’s driver swing and my dad in his 50’s was freaking golfers out on the course or the range because he was striking line drives 310-315 yards accurately. Mr dad’s weakness was chip and run, always leaving the ball 10-15 feet from cup if he ended up just off the green, but he nailed bunker and flop shots within 6 feet.
Wow! Awesome story thanks for that!
Please share more about your dad's swing thoughts and also more about his game.. thats wonderul.. thank you.
Great
Your Dad was so fortunate to be associated with this great man. My fantasy would be to go back in time and watch Ben and Bobby Jones play.
Excellent! When I taught Golf, I referenced Hogan all the time. The backswing is upper body and the downswing is all lower body - pushing off that back leg, turning those hips and letting it whip. Moe was was big on that too. However, ALL modern day Golfers employ this concept.
So true. Simple basic fundamentals. Doesn't need to be over complicated. Thanks for the comment.
I learned how to swing a golf club reading his book. Never have taken a lesson in my life and I consistently shoot mid to low 80s and I’ve broken 80 once.
Well done👍🏼Classic book! Thanks for the comment👏🏻
Not exactly a ringing endorsement
@@tnsquire3195 either you don’t golf, started golfing super young, or should be on tour cuz yer so good. Most players will never break 80
@Code4 Dragon I am well aware most people can't break 80. Most cant break 90bor 100. My original comment still stands.
@@tnsquire3195 Ok. So what’s your handicap?
Ball-striking perfection!
This is so true, I play with one arm only and I was a super short hitter all my 20s, I struggled to carry 160 and gave up golf. Now in my 30s, I found a new pro who said "forget the arm for now, try to hit the ball with your hips" (of course it was more elaborate than that but that's the essence of it) and showed me how to use ground forces. A totally new feeling, it's like I resetted the game started from zero again, but this time with the cheat codes. No pro ever had told me about hips, they all just fussed about backswing and club positions etc, causing drama because of my overswing that I just can't help. But I happen to have insane strong legs and once I found out how to use them to swing my club, the carry went from 160 to 260 and I am playing an entirely different game. To the total confusion of my friends.... 😂😂
Right on! The game is played from the ground up with the bottom of the feet, ankles, knees, legs and hips. Who cares about your backswing and over swing and positions. The sole purpose of the back swing is to prepare you for the forward swing. That’s it, it’s not about positions, it’s called “golf swing” not golf positions. Good on you👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻 Impressive well done! Long live Hogan!👍🏼
@@BarryTammyGibsonOver50Golf now if I can just get my hips to move ahead of my swing/shoulders 🫣
@@TravisMcGee151 We hear ya. Common problem but even good players work on this all the time. Check out this lesson from our channel ruclips.net/video/6gIvYpRa7ms/видео.html
Also this one as well ruclips.net/video/gNN0dkn_a-Y/видео.html
Let us know how you make out! Thanks for the comment.
This is as good a training video as you will ever see!! No words. No explanation. Just a slow motion video of the greatest swing mechanics the world will ever know. There was a technique developed by the company Cybervision used in the Bobby Jones series "How I Play Golf." It's almost the same as this. Only this is even better!! The framing of the left side of his body really takes it to another level. Simply because it shows the perfect centering and rotation of Hogan's swing. Perfect balance and rotation to the top of the swing. Flawless re-centering in transition, to a glorious finish. Ever wonder why instructors like yourself use Hogan's swing as a technical model? Even Jack and Tiger were comparative HACKS next to the finest striker of the ball who ever lived. Ben Hogan WAS, IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE TEMPLATE FOR HOW TO PROPERLY SWING A CLUB. Had Hogan putted better, the argument over the greatest golfer ever would be like comparing the Sun and the Moon. I love your simple and easy way of teaching the golf swing. This video is the simplest and easiest you've produced yet.
Thanks Don👍🏼 Hogan was amazing and still is as his swing lives on. We can’t copy Hogan but we sure can learn from him! He’s a wonderful example of great simple fundamentals and that amazing centering and rotation. Nicklaus said he was the best player he ever saw from any era. I remember Cyber vision it was good stuff. Tiger Woods father used it with Tiger to imprint him. I like to get my students to watch Hogan and George Knudson, another master of the swing! Just by watching those two great swings will help! Cheers.
There are at least 3 things about Hogans swing that can’t be taught. That amount of wrist at the top, the ability to get the club back in position after being so far behind, and his ability to keep his body still under that much lower body movement. Unbelievably powerful swing. His comments at this start of this video are the most important takeaway here for the average player.
Hogan was very strong and flexible despite his accident. Certain things of every player are certainly unique to them. He had wonderful footwork, balance and a fantastic sequence on the downswing, fundamentals for all players! Thanks for the comment!
I think you hit the key points or mysteries of this swing and why it is so far beyond 99.9 percent of players to grasp, much less emulate.
This changed everything for me
You've convinced Me Sir.
I'm doing nothing more than watching this.
Thank You.
Grateful Aussie.
“If you don’t mind I will hit a ball…” unreal stuff!👍🏼Can’t go wrong watching Ben Hogan. Some seventy years later, legendary, greet simple stuff! Thanks for the comment. Practice that one simple sequence, get the club down into position and just let it fly! You will be amazed! Long live Ben Hogan! Thank you for watching. Hogan would be pleased. Cheers!
Thanks for the response and the video.
One question if I may! What are your thoughts at not getting the club to parallel on the Backswing?
@@OfCourseICan Don’t worry about it. That’s a style preference not a fundamental. Length of swing really depends on your build, shoulder lat mobility and your timing sequence. I find most people do better a little shorter back. Focus on a good chest turn going back but don’t get too worried about the length of swing.
Started using this golf swing. Slicing has stopped, distance has improved, a d, my back no longer hurts after golfing. Plan to by Ben's book on golfing.
Great to hear! It’s a good book. Hogan believed in good basic fundamentals with natural active footwork and unrestricted pelvis turn. This could be attributed to your reduction in back pain👍🏼 It’s a lot more fun playing with no slice and no pain!
Bravooooo Mr. Hogan thank you!
Hogan was amazing! Amazing we are still studying and marvelling at his swing some 75 years later!
The lateral shift of his lower body is incredible. He turned his body into a flexible bow, feet and head being either ends of the bow, then bending 6" laterally towards the target at impact. I mean he looks like someone is pulling an invisible string and making his body bow like that. He was a very athletic individual no doubt.
He was amazing👍🏼Very mobile and athletic even after his accident. Most of it was from his daily routine of swinging and practice👍🏼Great comment thank you!
It's the right knee bowing.
Beautiful swing
This great video! using the lines gives a good visual of lower torso position. This is NOT the crap PGA instructors teach.
Great stuff it’s in the feet and torso. Classic simple Hogan. Many instructors and golfers over complicate the swing. Doesn’t need to be👍🏼 Long Live Hogan!
Rebar shaft with stainless steel screws, to hold the face into the wood grain of the 7 degree driver…OFF THE FREAKING DECK…crazy good!!
Hogan's swing never changes, but the voice overs do, As a short man he got leverage by using a rounder swing to get full extension at the top with the club behind his shoulders, not above them. His hands, however, are head high, which he achieved by allowing left heel to lift slightly and hips turning so left knee points at the ball. whie right side keeps weight from swaying, He must have done a lot of stretching of hips and hamstrings so unlike modern swing put much less stress on his back. Great for anyone over 40 to get full release to left we see here and only need ice for your drink when round is over.
Hogan had a classic golf swing, like Snead and many others of that generation. Active backswing, lot's of pelvis turn, great footwork to start the moveaway and then the transition forward. He generated lots of speed by his extension and fantastic ground force interaction. Those swings of yesteryear were much more sound biomechanically, very efficient and yes much easier on the body, good point. The so called modern swing with restrictive pelvis turn is very harmful, not recommended. Starting to see players return to that to prevent injuries. Hogan did a very simple basic swing routine everyday. He had great mobility despite his car accident. Thanks for the comment.👍
Lots of top golfers of the past lifted their left heels even though you aren't supposed to according to the modern orthodoxy.
Look how much lower his left hip and shoulder are than the right going back, then the opposite coming through. That's the hallmark of the very best swings. The more dramatic that separation the better the swing. Best two examples ever Hogan and Trevino, best two swingers ever. Their right shoulder goes so low through impact it almost looks like it's reaching for the ground, and as a result they couldn't miss the ball if they tried.
Great ball strikers rotate so well while maintaining their posture. The hallmark of great contact and compression at impact. Thanks for your reply!
The greatest golfer to have ever played
Absolutely👍🏼 Nicklaus said he was the greatest ball striker he ever saw of any generation. Hogan was and is so far ahead of anyone in terms of biomechanics and understanding the swing. Thanks for the comment.
I saw one of these old golf matches , think is was shell wonderful world of golf. It was Hogan vs snead, Hogan was a machine, no fairways missed no greens missed just fabulous golf. It was captivating
@@meangene8437 Love that old Shell series. That one is epic Hogan and Snead!
So simple and clear - powerful
Hogan believed in basic solid fundamentals. Work to perfect those. Golf does not need to be complicated! Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for sharing this video found it helpful.
Thank you. Classic Hogan, solid fundamentals👍🏼
Great video. So simlpe and great to focus on this one element. I've learned in the last few days the left knee needs to really open up throught the transition and at impact, knee cap facing the target. Agree?
Hogan was amazing! He really knew how to use the ground and body. Many players use different cues and feels to initiate the downswing from the ground up and make it a reaction. All good!
Thanks to share. Really amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it! A classic from Hogan! Tough to beat watching Hogan swing a golf club! Thanks!
best swing all time
I went out this evening after watching this swing and just tried to replicate the tempo and hip movement. Shot 3 over for nine holes - including a 3 putt on the last from 1 yard! To put this in perspective, I’m a 21 HCP. Best I ever ever scored by miles. I know it won’t last, but I’m just going to try to replicate this motion and tempo and forget all the other instructional stuff on RUclips.
Impressive, well done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It will last just keep working on the same stuff! Hogan believed in simple basic solid fundamentals. This video puts a sequence together which is the big difference. Simple basic stuff that works. Good going thanks for the comment👍🏼
@@BarryTammyGibsonOver50Golf thanks for posting the video! Went out again today, short game was hopeless but was still hitting the ball much further than normal. Just need to keep working the drill to make the move and tempo automatic.
Hogan's book ruined a lot of people, but he told McCord he never wrote that book. Slamming Sammy said he never watched Ben's swing. I never get tired of watching this amazing man swing.
Snead never watched his swing because Hogans swing tempo was so fast in comparison to his own. Hogan had a very fast ground based active backswing .
@@BarryTammyGibsonOver50Golf Snead had a simple swing in comparison to Hogan, right?
Not sure about Hogan’s book “ruining” people. A lot of that is the nonsense of some of these “neveux” instructors trying to make names for themselves Lol Most “ can’t break an egg” themselves Lol Like many golf books written by legendary players they write and talk about feels and movements. Some of the best golf instruction books I’ve ever read are close to 100 years old, Percy Boomer on Learning Golf, Alex Morrison, Swing the Club head by Ernest Jones. Many things in Hogan’s wonderful book were misinterpreted. Technology today helps to translate feels much better into motion👍🏼Take the books for what they are, take lessons and practice! Don’t change your swing because it doesn’t look “right” or doesn’t fit some book or video. Change your swing to produce results👍🏼
@@stevedriscoll2539 Hogan’s swing movement was probably the best in terms of biomechanics and fundamentals. But is a little more difficult for sure because of the action of the feet and how he used the ground so well. People get hung up on Hogan’s positions which can be difficult to copy but these were reactions to his movement. Snead however is a great example of a natural rhythmical flowing swing. Both are legendary golf swings. Watch their swings, learn, but don’t try to copy. Instead incorporate into your swing! 👍🏼
What's wrong with having a compact swing and a transition move. Better than the 95% of golfers who fly their trail elbow never in position, over the top, fire hips too soon, early release , stand up and flip swing
Its a extremely difficult move.. so much coordinated movement.. but, somehow Mr. Hogan kept his right elbow behind the ball thru impact.. this is just ridiculously difficult to achieve unless backswing is towards flat and very sharp/quick/exploding release thru impact without any thoughts about clubface or contact.. amazing..
Hogan was a very flexible mobile man and he hit a lot of golf balls. But it’s all in the sequence of motion, the kinematic sequence. Hogan talked often about how the body controls the arms and club. It’s not how your swing looks or copying positions it’s about the fundamental movement patterns. Pretty cool after all these years we still study and stand in awe of his sheer talent and swing! Long live Hogan!
*Poetry in motion!*
Indeed, just watch his swing and you get better👍🏼Thanks for the comment👏🏻
I'm working on his wrist or left forearm twist in the backswing and it naturally gives me a feeling that I'm rotating around my spine. My issue is my hips opening up as I am 64 and have Parkinson's- my mobility is limited. So I opened my stance (And point left toe 45 degrees to left) some and bam boom shaboom I was hitting my irons higher and longer. It feels weird with my woods and driver because of the neutral grip but I'm working on it. I follow Steve Johnson (Eureka swing) who teaches a unique open stance swing and is a big Hogan fan. The Eureka swing seems to work with Hogan like swing as your hips are able to move or rotate ahead of your club.
Work on what works for you👍🏼 Hogan played by feel despite what many think about him being mechanical. He had wonderful rhythm, fast swing but great rhythm, with a very free rotation of the arms with his pivot. He preferred the club to roll open going back and release aggressively through the ball. No hold off or forced hand positions so his rotation was free.
Keep at it! Thanks for the comment. 👍🏼
I don't mind, Mr. Hogan.
Priceless!!! I am a Hogan pupil!!!
We are too! Long Live Hogan! Thanks for the comment!
Tiger was all over this guy "the swing" is the hall mark of grace pace and power RIP Mr Hogan
Totally Tiger studied Hogan, Moe and Knudson lots👍🏼Tiger is still probably the best iron player in the world when he plays👍🏼
I’ve played 40 years without ever taking a lesson, and shoot 102 all the time
I'm pretty sure tom watson studied hogan; watson's lower body was through before the club came down to strike the ball. In videos: nickaus: `drive with your knees/legs'; norman: `this is where you get all of your power, your legs'.
the game is played from the ground up! All good players have the same pattern of motion. Each looks different and may have a different way and feel of discribing, but the pelvis and lower body lead the downswing. Tom Watson was a student of the greats, such as Hogan and Byron Nelson.
I think a lot of people think about the swing in different ways. Although i dont disagree with this move by starting the downswing with the knees/hips, it doesn't work for me because i naturally throw my lower body at the ball way too much as it is. So when i try to do that, my swing is out of control. My thought has to be more of my hips to wait and follow the club. Otherwise, I'm toast.
For context, my GHIN is a 2.3
That works too👍🏼 It’s the early pressure shift to the lead foot to start the downswing that is key. Whether it’s hips or arms doesn’t matter, it’s to recognize both and find one that works. Hogan was lots of pelvis hip turn. Moe Norman didn’t believe in hip turn. Both amazing consistent ball strikers. Both had similar transition moves. I did a video on both. I’m 63, regularly shoot in the 60’s for 18. I go back and forth with both. It’s fun. But very good you recognize what works for you. 👍🏼👏🏻
Look at how little his head moves. No dive down. No bob up. The axis of his spine and head is what he is swinging around, and to great effect.
Hogan had amazing golf mobility despite his accident and used his lower body and feet so well with the ground. The result amazing axis of rotation with a natural up and down cadence of the body and head position. Thanks for the comment👍🏼
The key to Hogan's swing is that he turned witin the "barrel" and was already on his left side at the top of the backswing which allows him to "whip" through the ball with incredible force.
All great players have wonderful separation between backswing and forward swing. They all begin the forward swing transition before they complete the backswing. It’s a reaction to using the ground so well with their feet, Hogan was amazing the way he used the ground. The turning in the barrel is a bit misleading they all slightly sway into their hips first and then turn but useful conceptr to help feel the turn. Thanks for the comments👍🏼👏🏻
Everybody acts like the secret was in his swing but it was really in how the belt needs to be above the umbilicus.
RIP LEGEND
it's amazing how acute the angle is between his arms and club at the top, maybe it appears that way because of his flattish swing and from the face on perspective.
Hogan was very mobile and and set is wrists fully during the backswing and then increased his wrist angle in transition again staring down. He used the ground extremely well, and he's "Hogan". Very good comment, thanks!
Hogan swing is solid. But golf is like this you have to find a swing you can repeat. It's got to be your swing. Can not copy someone else's swing. That's why fundamentals are crucial. Hogan's mastered the fundamentals of golf. Not a big man but had a lot of power. 132 mph swing speed is strong. Long hitter in his days.
Good point, we don’t copy we learn! All good players as different as their swings look all fundamentally have the same pattern of motion thats the secret sauce!
i agree,for 20 years ive taken advice from coaches and never felt good swinging their way,i have now writen down few things on how i want to swing,
Hogan was Extremely extremely flexible...especially in his wrists... never have seen such an acute angle of club and left arm.. extended acute !!! Almost impossible for most any golfer.
Hogan was indeed very mobile and flexible even after his accident. His hitting action was largely unchanged well into his 60’s. Copying his swing yes impossible copying how he moved and used the ground very possible👍🏼
@Blairsterling you should see my sons golf swing his left arm almost Touching his right ear
@@flex_flex6988 ...want to see after he has won 9 majors, and 55 PGA Tour tournaments. Let me know in 20 years if he has won the tournaments. Thank you.
" Do as I do"...If I only could. I see the swing, I understand the sequence, I only wish I could replicate it...
Take a look at this video and try the sequence I do. ruclips.net/video/aSfQGrve2Iw/видео.html
Hogan was amazing. We still marvel today at his swing👍🏼
I think this is where Jack Nicklaus got the idea or the feeling of rolling his feel. It automatically gets this motion.
Hogan’s teacher was the legendary Henry Picard who Jack Grout, Nicklaus’s teacher worked as an assistant. Many similar influences. Rolling the ankles is a wonderful drill to improve ground contact and footwork!
God comment thanks!
I’d like to emulate his scores!
Power and consistency is Ben Hogans swing. I think full extension in the backswing enables the left shoulder to allow the left arm to remain straight.
Hogan was very flexible and mobile so he could keep the left arm amazingly straight. Extension is indeed needed to allwo the body to control the club!
So Hogan's left side / leg? moves a bit forward left (his left) of the right vertical line. I do this in front of the mirror with black duck tape to mark my top of the head position, and I have a vertical tape line from the ground up bisecting my spine, and the left vertical line that lines up with my left thigh (at the start of the swing) And I notice that I can't but help move left of the vertical line (compared to initial pre swing stance) through impact .. I'm sliding but my hips / lower back just don't have the flexibility / dexterity to make a full turn athletic hip turn so it has to be a compensatory move (unlike Hogan) so it's the best I can do.
Hogan had great mobility and flexibility. His hip and pelvis turn was amazing. Tough to copy his movements but can learn much on the basics of good fundamentals. All good players will have some degree of recentering, sliding and turning. Find what works for you and still turn to the best of your ability. Good comment, thanks.
@@BarryTammyGibsonOver50Golf Thank you for these great advices and words of encouragement. My bones are no longer bendy and will never be bendy again. BUT, I read some where that ingesting a blend of olive 🫒 oil, oil of aregeno, avocado 🥑 oil, and Castor Oil coupled with proper stretching can restore bendability. I'm gonna try this, all the while mimicking Hogan's move (to the extent I can emulate it) and make 100,000 practice swings engraining the Hogan movement before heading to the range to put things to the test.
If I was an airplane, I'm still on the assembly line and prepared to spend whatever time necessary in the hangar before eventually bringing things down the runway for a test flight.
Thanks 😊
@@quantumpotential7639 do these dynamic movements regularly ruclips.net/video/nhll_dX5Sqs/видео.htmlsi=MGz12yR4lvtCXmOP
Hogan always did lots of slow motion rehearsals and practice swings as part of his practice and mobility routine. Most people don’t spend enough time on that. Great way to work on swing changes.
If you think about holding your back to the target longer on downswing and dropping your arms inside , magic will happen right away .. too many things to describe but you will instantly have more power and extension, good luck
Good simple swing thought! 🙂
Looks like the hips and shoulders all move together. He doesn’t shallow the club, it’s swung on that shallow plane.
Most instructional videos fail to mention how wrists at impact need to roll over, not under at impact, allows for great release and closure of the club face, most important to any beginner. I for 40 + years did the opposite and had a slice. The club face always felt like it wanted to twist open.
Glad it worked for you but that is way too advanced for a beginner. Trying to controll wrist roll is the last thing a beginner needs. Better golfers let it happen more naturally without forcing it by being in the right position at impact . I'd be hooking it all over as i naturally do this as a right to left ball flight already. Hence reason you wont see that taught..
He said in the first seconds. If you want a smooth effortless swing. It starts with lower body people!!
Totally most golfers don’t spend anywhere near enough time learning to use, the feet, the ground, the lower body!👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻🏌🏻
I need help. I hit all my clubs somewhat straight but one I pull that driver out. It’s 2 fairways to the right slice
Very common problem. This Hogan drill will help. Many golfers will leave the club face wide open at impact with the longer clubs especially the driver. Can be many reasons but often can be traced back to simply holding the club incorrectly and setup problems. I’ll usually start there with golfers before working on swing adjustments.
This video from our channel “Cure Your Slice”
can help. I am doing another one for drivers that will be posted soon. Thanks for the comment keep at it. Let me know if this video helps to get you started in the right direction in the mean time.
ruclips.net/video/sad9-7K7Hos/видео.html
thanks for your reply i do not know the camera angle but it seems to me that his head is still behind the ball at impact and then moves left past impact as his body turns through the shot and he posts up on his left leg I just started looking at the older pros , because a lot of people tell me I have a beautiful swing but I do not know what that swing is ! What is the best way to get a video facing the golfer and then from the back . Should I just have a friend use the cellphone or is there a better way to do it , so I can study my swing and see what I HAVE !
Your head will always be back and behind the ball at impact. Cell phone is fine. Face on view camera 90 degrees to the swing , about hand height waist level, down the line same height, camera either pointed at the hands or between target line and body line. The older pros were wonderful ball strikers, solid fundamentals, Hogan, Knudson, Nicklaus, Mickey Wright, Snead, Byron Nelson, all wonderful swings to learn from. Lessons from an experienced instructor will help. It’s not how the swing may look it’s the sequence of motion thats important. Good luck have fun👍🏼
Maybe kids should use the heavier clubs like he did because it takes a certain kind of swing to get that weight moving.
Good comment. Heavier gets you using the total body, the feet, lower body to get moving the club from the ground up. Hogan was so into and understand ground force mechanics before it became popular today. He figured it out, "digging it out of the dirt"! Thanks for the comment.
How about Sam Snead and Jack Nicklaus?
For sure two great ones👍🏼
yup . thats it AND there is no secret. But, grip.. stance and hard work.. fundmentals are really all out in the five lessons & power golf by Mr. hogan. If, the glass plane seems confusing.. read power golf where he felt like swinging around his hub.. The Neck. This was written before 5 lessons where he introduced the glass plane instead of his neck. same concept.
Mr. Hogan gave it all away.. no secret at all... If you are looking for a secret n read between line you will never swing like Mr. hogan
Is there anything more pure in golf? Just poetic motion.
Simply the best👍🏼Thanks for the comment.
How do I move lower body though? Do you push off back foot? How’s he moving his hips forward like that? I just started please help.
Good comment. Depends on your leg dominance but push from back foot to shift pressure to lead side and then push down with lead foot. It’s a hard move at first but key to progressing and getting better. I’ll send you a link to another video on pelvic turn and hip action. Like and follow our channel for more. Thanks for the comment👍🏼
Link to other video to review. ruclips.net/video/2c97HJCAIsI/видео.htmlsi=gDVSHlxIcxV28otq
Is there a swing thought to have in mind that helps maintain that lag through the down swing? Under slow motion, you really get a sense of how well Hogan does this, maintaining that sharp angle/ wrist cocktail well into the impact area? Any useful drills that helps one internalize this? Many thanks
This is a great drill, the rope drill to help sequence of motion and lag. Lag is the result of a good swing sequence and pivot motion driven from the ground up with good footwork.
ruclips.net/video/HO743KYEDeQ/видео.html
Stepping drills are excellent as well for promoting good footwork and swing sequence.
ruclips.net/video/4da8yi2CIfM/видео.html
this is another one that helps with foot work and lag
What is a little misleading is the momentary weight shift to the right side. Hogan is already shifting back to the left side while he is still in the backswing. He is so physically fit that his timing isn’t possible to follow. It’s better for me to think of weight shift back to the left when the shaft is parallel to the ground on the backswing .
All the good players have such good timing that their lower bodies are starting to move back to the target and put pressure into the lead foot before they complete the backswing, difficult to copy and think about indeed. We like your transition swing thought for the average golfer! Thanks!
Know what you know and practice what you know find out the diffrence and finnally data will tell you the difference if your body capable to dance that way.
A slight pause at the top of the swing allows hips and feet to lead the downswing. Most all super great players had a very slight pause to allow the change of direction. Watson, Palmer, Nicklaus, Woods, Ballesteros, Nelson. ...proof...you need a pause at the top of the backswing,,even if quite subtle.
See how Hogan's hands look like they are somehow connected to his right thigh going through impact.
He controlled the club with his footwork and body, the thing to copy with him is the sequence not so much the positions. So Mesmerizing to watch him, he moved like a powerful Tiger and graceful ballerina..amazing!
Ok
If u don’t mind. How polite. Classier times.
Hilarious actually when you think about.
Mr. Hogan asking us if it’s okay if he hits a few for us to watch! You kidding, is it okay if we stand there all day and watch you Mr.Hogan👍🏼 But yes totally different classier times!
I need to know the name of this song PLEASE, IT IS EPIC!
Hello, it's likely from imovie or youtube, one of their stock themes. Sorry for not being able to provide more.
Online coaching?
Hello Yes I do offer. I use a platform called CoachNow for uploading video. It’s easy to use and offers good two way communication.
Trying to practice his swing. But does anyone else feel uncomfortable with the protruding knee when he’s winding back? And then if you’re already cocking ur leading leg then doesn’t that make the follow thru feel awkward ? Just what I felt could be I’m doing it wrong. Any ways thanks to anyone who wants to answer :)
Good comment. Hogan had great pelvis rotation back and through the ball, He didn’t try to restrict his pelvis rotation, he had a very active backswing rotation, the left knee will bend in toward the ball position on the back swing and then straighten naturally as the pelvis unwinds through the ball. Focus on your footwork and pelvis rotation and allow your knees to work naturally with the turn. You’ll develop the right knee action that is right for you.
this is a good practice progression

Barry , i ve considered working on his swing , question,i s his swing body friendly? Thank you
His swing is based on simple fundamentals and is very much a ground based swing. He was so far ahead of everyone in terms of ground force mechanics. All good swings have the same pattern of motion, body drives the motion from
the ground up and the arms react. However those with limited mobility, less athletic, might be better suited to a pattern that is more “arm based”, less body rotation, the body reacts to the motion of the arms. The motion is still the same in terms of swing plane and path. The legendary Canadian ball striker George Knudson s book is also a wonderful book as well. Very simple and easy to follow and on the body. I suggest to my students learn from good
players but don’t copy, incorporate the correct sequence of motion but let your pattern develop based on how your body moves. How long have you been playing and have you had instruction before? Thanks for the comment.
@@BarryTammyGibsonOver50Golf thank you for responding, I've been playing for some thirty plus years I'm about a 5 , I'm 64 and I've looked at a lot of swings , I'm a tinkerer , have had lots of instruction , I have worked on Tom Watson's swing as recently as i have his DVDs looked at Pete Cowens. His ideas seem really simple in his teachings , I never have settled on one , like you spoke of , I've taken things from different people, Watson or Cowen seems to be easiest on me at this point , what's your feelings on those two , if you don't mind me asking, By the way ,I'm actually in good shape , a touch overweight but I walk my course most of the time .
@@Phantom1127-ck3qr Your playing well then at 5. Some golfers enjoy tinkering, depends on what your are trying to actually achieve. Tinkering for the fun and sake of the tinkering or trying to get better. Both Watson and Cowen are good in term of basic fundamentals. I tend to focus on biomechanics and how your body moves rather than a "method" which may not fit your body. There really isn't one perferct way to swing but you have your own perfect swing. Choose one that you like, makes sense for you and works for you.
@@BarryTammyGibsonOver50Golf thanks Barry , thank you for your videos especially watching Hogan's drill , a friend of mine said he tried Moe's Norman's swing and said Moe's was right , no one could imitate it , said he has to quit because it was killing his back , even Moe's said , have your own swing , I appreciate your chat here , have a great day , maybe some day we will meet on a course , take care
He doesn’t explain how to release at the bottom from that initial move
You don’t need to worry about the release when you start down properly. Far overused concept in golf. Just keep going to the finish position and you’ll
be all right👍🏼
There is no one on tour that swings the club that way…
Good comment👍🏼Pay attention to Hogans pelvis turn and transition. He shallows the club amazingly and recentres his pelvis very early starting the transition with the lower body before completing the backswing. His swing is the gold standard in biomechanics. Don’t confuse how a swing looks to how it moves. The pattern of motion for a good swing has not really changed much over time. All good players use the ground effectively. How their swing may look is based on how they use their physical assets to move the club. Today’s game is a power game so some players will push very hard and have lots of foot movement. Hogans era was much more about precision as the old ball and club sent shots sideways with a slight mishit. Essentially the pattern of motion has not changed. Work on fundamentals not styles👍🏼
Looks simple enough...why is it so hard to do it?
It is simple enough but the natural tendency is to swat at the ball with the arms and hands. The ball is not moving so everyone wants to hit it rather than swing the club. Learning to move the club with the feet is not natural at first, but is easy. Once you “get it” it makes total sense! Most are are not patient enough to spend the time. Do Hogan’s drill, stick with it, you’ll be amazed!
Excellent comment, thanks! 👍🏼
Hogan "dug it out of the ground". I think he developed the most accurate powerful swing ever.
hogans hips pull his legs. then he uncoils his upper body and releases his arms/hands. great sequencing but to say his swing starts from the ground up is not accurate. look. its clear as day.
All good players have great footwork and the swing begins with pressure shifts in the feet to get things going and creates the great swing sequence they have. Thanks for the comments.
Just keep an eye on his hat. Barely moves
Yes amazing! Hogan had great mobility and flexibility so could make a very centred pivot and turn. But staying centred and preventing upper body drift helpsto improve your pivot and improve consistency. We can learn so much from watching him! Thanks for the comment!
I just bought his book , going to read it. I can’t wait to broke 90s 🏌️♀️
It’s a classic👍🏼
Ben Hogan's head is behind the ball at the top of his swing and even at impact . Recently I
have been trying to go to a more modern swing with my head steady through the entire
swing and I have gotten into trouble and maybe this video will help me get back on track
Thank you Ben Hogan
The natural action of a good pivot and turn is the head behind the ball at the top of the swing as the body turns back then as the pelvis and lower body lead the downswing and turn the spine and head will drop back. The average golfer tends to do the opposite! I have a lesson coming out shortly on that. Good observation thanks for the comment👍🏼
