Just finished a quick read on the latest book about the secret of Hogan's swing by Tom Bertrand, which by coincidence is titled "The Secret of Hogan's Swing".
The author does not have a direct connection with Hogan, his connection is that he was an instructor under John Schlee who was a student of Hogan's. John Schlee revealed Hogan's secrets to him including the "missing link".
The missing link is to turn the left elbow so it stays pointed at the left hip through the ball and into the follow through. When I grabbed a club and practiced this move my arms moved into the same position as the Stallion's "wedding ring up". Brian as usual you are ahead of the masses.
Also according to the author the post-accident Hogan swing was not the way Hogan wanted to swing. His swing prior to the accident was closer to his desired pattern, (another hit by the Stallion). Because of the multiple injuries and broken bones he was forced to make compensations in his preferred swing pattern.
According to the author a mental image used by Hogan, to keep his focus on the shot at hand, was to imagine an imprenetrable wall that moved with him. The wall extended from the ground to the sky and blocked his view of everything that happenned before the present moment. In that way once a shot is played it is history, never to be changed, so don't look back.
This is a good book and adds more to lore surrounding Hogan and his swing.
