Brian's 'Hogan' alernative

[GeoffDickson]

Brian,

I am using Hogan here as an example, but you can insert the name of any golfing legend.

Through the wonders of time travel, lets assume it is possible for you to do one option in the following two scenarios:

Interview or observe:
1. Interview Hogan in his prime about what he was doing with the club. The interview takes place over the phone. You can ask him whatever question you want.
2. Observe Hogan swing the club but you could not interview him...you can watch him hit balls all day but not talk to him.

Trackman or video or 3d analysis:
A. Observe and analyse Hogan using trackman (but no video)...you watch and get the Trackman output data
B. Observe and and analyse Hogan with hi speed camera (without Trackman)..you watch with naked eye and get the benefit of the slomo 'replay'.
C. Observe and and analyse Hogan with 3D analysis (without Trackman or hi speed camera)...you watch him hit and get given the output data.

Which option would you go for and why?

A. Observe and analyse Hogan using trackman (but no video)...you watch and get the Trackman output data

Then you could duplicate his shots and shut everybody the #$#^ up.

Thanks...Which 'golfing legend' would you most like to put on Trackman?

FWIW, I think it would be interesting to put some numbers on Trevino's swing.

Brian - I get that you would lay some myths to rest, but do you think you'd learn anything?

Wouldn't you expect the numbers for Hogan's 5 yard fade to be the same as Kevin's, or any other high-end student. What, if anything, might be different?
