Very respectfully, if I’m not mistaken, I could have sworn I heard from another documentary or tale somewhere that he was one of the first if not the first to start documenting yardages.
Super compilation. The music suits.What impressed me was Ben’s stability thru the ball and the finished position.Like another genius (George Knudsen) he rarely got to parallel at the top. Most were 3/4 backswings followed by controlled violence. “You don’t hit the ball with your backswing sonny” Ben Hogan
There must be lots of shots and angles from this production that ended up on the editing room floor. What a shame we can access all the original footage.
In my opinion Ben Hogan was the best golfer of all time. If it wasn't for the terrible auto accident he had in the middle of his career he would have won a lot more. His classic book FIVE LESSONS has helped countless golfers.
Given what he achieved before the accident, and all the victories it robbed him of, and then what he did after, I think his achievement tops Nicklaus' and Woods'.
And he wasn't able to complete during the WW2 years because he was in the service. Easily the most beautiful golf swing ever created. He has given every generation of golfers something to work for.
@@samking4179 And what impresses me most about him is that he really didn't have much natural talent for it. Don't think he won much of anything in his 20s, and I think he was on the verge of quitting more than once. But he kept at it, "digging it out of the dirt," and then just blossomed into arguably the best ever in those post war years. He won 30 times from 46-48. And then he's literally thrown under the bus, and refashions himself into an even better ball-striker with crippled legs. His putting woes were probably due to sight he lost in one eye from the accident, though it could also be age as well. He never talked about it or blamed it though. A lot of guys lose their putting touch later, like Watson and Palmer. You just have to marvel at the man's grit. He was tough and often unpleasant--I doubt I'd like him much in person--but men from hardscrabble backgrounds were just like that back then--no one gave them anything. They had to earn it all pretty much on their own. All in all, more remarkable than Nicklaus and Woods. Nicklaus had an adoring dad and a country club, and Woods had a dad who lived for him. Hogan's dad committed suicide.
For me the key thing, his driver was a full shoulder turn and swing - to maximise distance. However his irons were 3/4 s at best. Meaning he played well within himself, similar to many lady professionals today. He played with control - muscle men take note!!!
@beachwelcome I like the twisting of the hands but as I change clubs I do not understand to untwisting, When I look at Hogan's waggle and swing I see Supination and Pronation but I do not understand the timing especially when changing from one club to another.
I love it too. My intend was not to disrespect you, why should I... I am more interested in the Golfswing of Mr. Hogan so I scaled it bigger to see the golfmotion better, even better in bw for me. People who wants to see the original plaease go to the channel of hynodesignclassics. Keep up the good work... Saludos from spain
Hogan was not exactly the greatest putter anyway. He didn't like it. In practice rounds he sometimes picked up his ball when on the green. "Putting isn't real golf."
Poetry in motion. There will never, ever be another Hogan....😢
Thank you for your clips vdo and pays tribute to Ben Hogan
No one will ever come close to his mastery of the golf swing.
Robert Tyler Jones
Just a beautiful graceful and artistic swing. Minimal in its structure and execution enabling him to successfully repeat the motion over and over.
I wish I could seen him play. The best ever with the equipment he used.
Its golf, what equipment? We still use a club and a ball today don't we?
Quality is soooo good
It’s movie film
I don't care who you think is the GOAT is. no one was more dedicated and disiplined then Ben Hogan. No glove, no yardage book, no bullshit.
Never ever noticed , considering I never wear gloves too.
You are so right....!

He always went past the parallel with his driver.

Wonderful!

I agree....
Don't forget WW2.
Love the HD
Nice work thanks
His swing looked so beautiful that it looks normal, as if every human being should swing like this.
Great stuff thanks for posting !
My goat!
Meditative music by Explosions in the sky, track “Inside it all feels the same”
A nice discovery, thanks
Imagine what this man could've done with todays equipment in his hands.
This amazing how you got it well hd.
This ought to be a screen saver
Legend!

So superior to these soulless power clones of today. No comparison.
You know you've got it on a string when you can hit it, take a glance and then go back to chatting without ever watching it land
Man that ball goes soaring through the sky like a bird on a mission.
Most tee boxes today are faster than them greens

Yes yes yes, and why is nobody talking about that?

In this match with Snead, Hogan hit every fairway and every green.
This is the footage of the Shell world of golf game between Snead and Hogan in 1965 ?!
Sorry , the track is “ Remember me as a time of day "
What strikes me is his wedge play.
Hogan and Eisenhower--the 50s!
Great move tarifa!
Oh, I see. You simply stole the SWWOG episode with Hogan and Snead and changed it to black and white and added music.
UN Owen pretty awesome

What's the name of the track?
Anyone know the name of the song/instrumental?
its not very good. imo
Don't know the track name but the band is Explosions in the Sky
Ok!Ok! I'll subscribe, just stop the torture music!
A lot of wrist and left elbow movement in his putts, seems quite unorthodox next to today's instruction.

Nice...soooo much lag😨😨😨
