ben hogan had the best swing of all time thats for sure i dont know if anyone can get close
The guy talking is Jim McLean. Whether he overcharges his students could probably be debated, but he’s one of the best in the business. All you guys giving thumbs up to this moron are just frustrated because you suck and aren’t athletic enough to take instruction.
I think if there is one thing that an average golfer can learn from Hogan is how he loads against his right leg – PERFECT PIVOT – that is where the power is.
ben hogan is te best ball striker ever, tee to green undisputed champ.
one key to keeping it on plane is keeping the right elbow over the right hip bone swing center ,check my lessons out at hitmanhawky best lessons on the tube next to ben of course let me know what you think and thanks hitmanhawky
Hogan said the golf swing is a two plane swing, a backswing plane and a downswing plane. The downswing plane obviously being shallower.
Count Yogi? What about Count Flatus? He was very knoledgeable, especially when it came to wind conditions..In fact, he would give you his flatus for free.
muhammad ali is a boxer you dink
The shaft plane is the only and correct plane.. look at Anthony Kim and Sergio.. and Sam Snead down the line.. if you swing above that plane in the downswing you’ll never reach your full ballstriking potential.. and will eventually injure yourself…
Learn to own your individual swing and be in command of it. If you can hit 9 greens in regulation you can be scratch. Make 3 birds in 9 attempts and get up and down 6 out of 9 attempts. You just shot 70,71 or 72. Once you’re a comptetent ball striker (no need to be great) short game is EVERYTHING. Great formula to remember and strive for rgmmiller93. Good luck and have fun playing the greatest on turf!!
Also,remember this.A perfect downswing plane represents the path of least resistance back to the ball.A good thing but not everything. Miller Barber shocked Hogan and he said Barber’s swing went against everything he ever believed in. Most naive instructors today would try and change Hogan,Trevino and Sergio Garcia’s swing plane if they came to them as youth’s. Hogan NEVER wanted to know what his swing looked like.Didn’t care what he was doing “wrong” as long as he got what he wanted.Cheers.
Sure,no problem. Golf swings do travel on different planes before impact.A person’s height/girth have a big role in that but not set in stone. First, figure out if you are currently a 1 plane or 2 plane swinger. Jim Hardy’s latest book will help you understand which one you are. You can win both ways but not if your stuck in the middle. Second, get your swing on tape from down the line. Freeze it halfway down and draw a line from shaft to ground. If it goes thru ball your on plane.Cheers!!
There are 2 planes at address. Your viewing “shaft plane” not ball plane.
I am a professional and was a student of Jim McLean as a youth. Your wrong on one point but it’s not your fault. Jim is discussing “shaft plane” at address from the “down the line” camera angle. That line represents where Hogan’s shaft was at address and Jim is commenting on his ability to return there at impact. Tiger does the same as do many others. It is still hotly debated where “ball plane” is. Hogan thought though the neck. Most pros agree the plane runs thru the right shoulder to ball.
this means nothing since it’s the wrong plane line….. it should run from the neck to the ball. that way you can see the hands running parallel to the plane line for the whole swing.
He tried to swing normally and it didnt work as well.
Thanks for McLean’s stats, Cap’n Obvious. Are you overweight? Your comments imply that you are overweight. Anyway, you can go back to smokin’ McLean’s boner.
P.S. I’m not a NASCAR fan….i do not have a goatee and I’m not overweight. But, it appears you are half way there. Cheers.
Yea, your blind assumption is pretty blind. The man speaking is Jim McLean. He is consistently ranked in the top 10 teaching professionals in the game by GolfDigest. He has been in the business for over 40 years and has golf schools on 4 continents.
Stick to NASCAR UncleDicer
Hahahahahahahaaha this is one of the funniest comments ive seen in a while. Hilarious!!!!!!!
Thanks for reinforcing my point.
He is succesful despite the fact he does it not because he does it!
Its Jim McLean doin the commentry
The guy talking is probably one of those teaching pros who overcharges his customers and can’t help anyone improve. But…that is just my blind assumption.
Jim Furyk is proof positive that you can take the club outside and reroute it to the inside.
Bet this is a pretty short swing (with lots of wristcock)….or NOT the top of his swing.
