Ben Hogan GRIP studies

Dan Whittaker does a thorough analysis of Ben Hogan’s swing over the years

wholebrainpower.wordpress.com http Michael J. Lavery is breaking new ground with his revolutionary golf swing concepts. His irons are so heavy that he barely needs to take a backswing and yet he compresses the heck out of the ball. In this video he is hitting a Ben Hogan Apex 9 iron that is 3 inches over standard. It has a swing weight of F8 and is considered to be some seriously heavy iron. Notice that he stands pretty far off the ball at address. His left arm and shaft of the club are on the same plane. On the downswing centrifugal force carries the heavy club head out to the ball. The nature of the Hammer Man golf swing is to approach the game as an ATHLETIC GOLFER. Like many golfers of the past he lifts his left heel way off the ground but has it planted as the downswing starts. Notice that he pushes off the ground with his right foot and the heel is way off the ground just as the downswing is initiated. The back foot slides up over a foot from the time the downswing is initiated and the follow through finishes. There is alot of lateral movement in his swing and this comes from the sports backgound of being a former hockey and baseball player. Thus the swing plane is flatter on the down swing than normal. Because of the eliptical nature of the swing the hands and arms are really extended out towards the target line. There are many similarities to the downswing path that Moe Norman used in his technique. The experience of practicing with extremely heavy golf clubs has …

An analysis of Ben Hogan’s principles by top golf instructor Jim McLean. Part 1 of 3

I called the waggle Hogan used “the antithetic waggle”. The word ‘antithetic’ means ‘in diametrical opposition’ which describe perfectly what is going on with the body. When one waggles the club back one should move the legs and hips into the opposite direction, like one wants to maintain symmetry in the sagittal plane. Hogan said that the rear hip should even touch the rear elbow. And it can be done the easiest way if both arms and hips are moving in opposite directions on an arc. Such a combination makes it almost natural to achieve properly the diagonality of the stance that is so useful and important. It naturally accompanies the rear foot being set perpendicularily to the target as well as prevents also naturally the shoulders from opening simultaneously when hips open in relation to feet (as we know shoulders should remain closed in relation to hips and more or less parallel to the target). The very Hogan underlined that shoulders cannot move during waggling and, of course, he was right as usually since one should not move what one uses for a correct dynamic alignment towards the target. One uses neither hips nor feet for this goal though, thus, there is no reason they should not be moving if waggling are to be treated as Hogan wanted, as preparation for the shot. Lastly, it should be stressed that this antithetic way of waggling prepares the body excellently for starting the motion with the initial trigger compression phase that we regard as optimal biomotoric …
