shoulders leading the hips?

[pecky987]

have noticed whilst extensively wathcing ben hogans swing, that after impact, his hips lead his shoulders into the follow-through. his hips keep turning until facing well left of the target, then his arms are flung up and around his body. most modern players i see, get to pivot-stop(?), where the body stops and the momentum of the arms go past the body, and the arms pull the hips around. what are the advantages of both. i have heard you talk about having the club pull you around to the finish, but it looks alot like hogan did not do this and let the turn of his hips continue post impact

I just watched the video.

He absolutely SNAPS the heck out of the PIVOT CHAIN.

In the best, most dynamic swings, the SNAP is very sudden. The speed produced is dramatic, and the "re-pull" happens very fast. You don't "see" it very well naked eye.

Mike Finney, when he was about 15, had the most dramatic snap ever. He was 5'2" 105lbs, and could hit a persimmon driver TOUR DISTANCE (at the time).

We didn't know about the PIVOT CHAIN then. We thought it was a "hitch in his get along."

Magically, when he got stronger and bigger, and the ball went farther, the VISABLE snap was gone. Look at his swing now---you don't see ANY hitch.

But, trust me, when we get Mike on a 3D machine, he'll light it up.

So would have William Ben.

on watching modern players, what seems to happen is the snap ocurrs, then the arms fly by until around half-way through and the entire time since impact, the hips have been dormant. the shoulders are leading the hips. hogan let the hips continue through post-impact. or am is it an optical illusion
