Afternoons with Mr. Hogan

[drewitgolf]

It is not that Hogan was a so-so teacher. He just couldn't find anyone willing to learn.

"I can't pinpoint where I learned what I learned. It almost seems kind of ingrained now, and that's from spending time with him."

Schlee gives all the credit for his swing to Hogan. The spiral binder contains alot of good info, but was considered strange, because Schlee was told by Hogan to start his swing from an impact position (impact fix) rather than standard address with club mid-body, something that Hogan never did.
Schlee, considered by many as an "odd duck" pasted away a year or two ago.

Is this true?

Hogan starting from Impact Fix??

I don't see how this could work with his swing...

BM-

Neither Schlee, nor Hogan, played starting from "impact fix". However, to learn the proper impact position, Schlee hit balls starting from the position Hogan wanted him to be at impact. In his book "Maximum Golf", Schlee seems to advocate that his students play this way, but I doubt that any one did for long. BTW, Gardner Dickinson, who spent lots of time with Hogan, advocated a similar drill in his great book "Let 'er Rip!".

What are the problems that will follow when starting from impact fix? I like to do this with the shorter clubs and seem to have better contact vs address fixed.

Thanks

Impact Fix address is more compatible with the Hitter's carryback motion which promotes Drive Loading (10-19-A). It's a non-lagging clubhead takeaway procedure.

You probably Hit with your short irons. No problem if you know what you're doing -- and don't get it mixed up with Swinging -- especially the difference in Rhythm.

This is the easiest way to get an arched wrist at impact. As Ben Doyle and Brian say, it is much easier to move to a position than to hold a position.

Thanks - lol...I know what cupped and arched are.

My question was...

HUH?
Meaning, I have never seen a picture of Hogan arched at impact. Cupped at the top (doublewrist cock, yes) but not arched...

Thought Brian might have some insight....

In his 5 Lessons, much of Lesson 4 is devoted to trying to hit with a "supinated" left wrist-- this means "arched" to us. Hogan believes it is very important to strike the inside corner of the ball with a supinated left wrist bone.

Ok, I'm now officially too old and confused to use computers.

Don't see any signature and when Hue said "picture" I tought there was real picture somewhere to be seen. Since subject was Hogan didn't want to miss anything.
