That's pretty much my swing. However he is a bit off plane in this pic but nothing too bad, slight pull and you can tell by where the ball goes after impact.
Also there is a frame in that video that i'm going to freeze frame and post later (finally figured out how
) that shows something he does that Hogan did.

Blue line is TSP, red line is elbow. Notice he is a bit above plane on the downswing and you can see the ball pull a bit.
However notice in pic 4 how you can barely see his hands, however the clubhead is still outside them and still pointing really close to the plane line. Very few people do that. This swing is probably one of my favorites on tour right now and to be really honest, i told a member of this forum right after the travellers that as long as he keeps improving his putting, he will win the most amont the 20-somethings.
It's just down to his putting imo.

Is frame 4 what Hogan did?

Frame 3, at impact. Notice how he is slightly above the elbow plane (red line) instead of on it like Tiger is in that other sequence i drew lines on. You can also tell by the ball flight in the sequence after my frame 4 if you watch it again.

Yup, that's why Hunter looks SOOOOOO FAR left cuz not many pro's do that these days.

Jim, I know you're saying this. But, the second picture in your illustration (second one down), a line from Hunter's shaft points to the ball. How does that make him above plane in your opinion?

Read my post again, FRAME 3, IMPACT.

LOL it isn't where it was at impact either, it should be on the elbow plane which is just a tab bit higher than the "hands only" plane that Homer describes that many use.
In the latest sequence on youtube with him in his yellow shirt he is on plane at impact. Look at impact on that video versus this one and you'll see the difference.

Correct...I think most tour players' hands disappear by the time they reach waist high on the follow through...I haven't noticed the clubhead so much, but I'm trying to get my hands to disappear earlier...rotation, rotation, rotation!!
