Ben Hogan Golf Swing


49 Comments

  1. Hogan's body movements were amazing. Crazy he nearly died, then came back to 🐐 status afterwards…
    If we ever compared 🐯 to anyone, this would be the man đŸ’Ș

  2. I wonder why he was never nicknamed “Hulk Hogan”? He was a beast on the links, you’d think someone would have thought of this!

  3. Many ways to hit a golf ball
    Don’t over analyze it or u will forever b stuck n ur own head

  4. Serious question:
    If Hogan was playing today, would he be able to hit as far as the top players today? Is a guy like Rory have better mechanics than Hogan or is it all equipment. Take it easy on me, keyboard warriors. I'm genuinely interested. I play golf when i can, but i know nothing about swing dynamics.

  5. I swear I have no idea why anyone in this day and age would go back to Hogan. First off he's all hands by necessity after the accident and no one teaches a hands move anymore, then there's all the crazy timing moves. There's about a hundred and they're all crazy idiosyncratic, because he's still got the buggy-whip hickory action in there and had to figure out how to do that with a lead pipe.

  6. Only thing about analyzing one swing is you don't know if it was a good shot. If you showed this to Hogan, he might have said it was a crappy swing.

  7. Wee ice mon
the Scots called him

    Smaller man that played like a giant, my first swing book was “5 Modern Lessons”
    But as a taller golfer , not all the lessons were good for me.
    Hogan’s grip was neutral to weak, because he feared the duck hook.
    Get lessons that fit YOU.

  8. I see and hear alot of ignorant comments, fundamentals,that's what Ben Hogan did,execute fundamentals,load,sit, release.
    You don't have to see the shot,Ben Hogan hit fairways and greens,at a rate never seen before or after.
    The reason Hogan won majors at the % he did be was because the more pressure you put on a good swing,the better it gets.
    Hogan played the last four years with no major veins in his legs,it took two hours to wrap his legs,he won 6 Majors during that stretch.
    Please don't mention Rory in the same sentence as Hogan, you'll remove all doubt

  9. You just described what is in John Jacobs " Practical Golf " / David Lee " Gravity Golf " / George Knudsen " The Swing Motion " – said in the books in slightly different ways. In my Opinion
    David Lee said it best.

  10. NO ONE ever talks about the fact he is way over parallel , aka john daly, that club almost hits im in the left hip!, gott have soft wrist for that.

  11. Been struggling like crazy coach of late. Came across this few days ago.

    Had my best shift on the range in a long time. My hits were pure.

    Right knee kicking in
    The right shift few inches.
    Right hip going up.
    Club goes up – weight goes left
    Fully loaded – let rip

  12. Grip is essential Hogan's grip is what made him the best ball striker ever it is golf's best kept secret. Hand's working together.

  13. First move is his head moving away from target. Sets everything in motion. So much for keeping your head still
