What's up with this article? It mentions that part of Hogan's secret was a cupped left wrist at the top (pgs 211-214). Now I'm really confused.

Ben Hogan had many secrets, not just one. On August 8, 1955, in Life Magazine, he revealed a mysterious swing change he made ten years earlier. The seceret involved three mechanical changes: Pronation, The Grip Change, and The Concaved Left Wrist. All were designed to get rid of an uncontrolable hook that almost drove Hogan off the tour.
Did he reveal all his secrets? Golf Digest did a follow up story in March of 1994. Everyone from Byron Nelson, to Sam Snead to Johnny Miller on down the line chimmed in, all with different opinions. After the March 1994 issue, Ben Hogan Co. President & CEO David Hueber did a follow up to the story in May 1994. Hueber said, "For the few that have been told the secret by Hogan himself, each has been sworn to eternal secrecy. I'm not sure everyone was told the same secret. There has been some evolution of the secret over time. Ken Venturi probably came closest in revealing the secret when he said it in his mind."
"Hogan's secret, was that he was just more observant" -Ken Venturi
I have not received the April 2004 Golf Digest. I look forward to reading it; just one more peice of the puzzle to add to the collection.

Why did Hogan bypass the flat lead wrist and go the arched route? Thanks.quote:Originally posted by brianman

hue...
I think a golfer should learn to arch it and THEN figue out how to use it.
I use it ALL the time.
