Tong,

So this (Power Golf time period)was apparently when he was hitting the hooks. The thing about the Hawk that blows me away is that even if Woods has more majors than everyone at the end of the day, the fact Hogan survived, let alone won 2 Major golf championships after that accident, is totally unbelievable.....

ColtsFan,

This lack of factual knowledge of Mr. Hogan's real history, is not your fault. Lots of folks have no idea about the man, or his history.

As for these photos:

They were taken in 1948 at Augusta National, and in the three years which ended in 1948, Ben Hogan won 30 tournaments.

30 tournaments

He later had "the accident" and made a well-publicized swing "change."

He won tournaments and Majors after the "wreck," but in his own words, NEVER hit it as well as he did before (like in these photos).

He played well and some say better, but he thought he scored and mangaged his game better.

Nonetheless, this sequence of Mr. Hogan that I have posted below, along with the signiture he signed my Hogan 5 Lessons book with, is for lots of great teachers, the best ever.

Enjoy!

Even though these are just photos, there's something about them that tells me this swing is more free-flowing and less rigid than the post-accident swing.

Don't you just love the On Plane Right Forearm and the Flat Left Wrist sustained well into the Follow Through :cool:.

Looks like he is Swinging with an Angled Hinge here.

It is UP there.

But, IMO, not very best sequence of all-time.

What would be your top 5.

....

How about the best Hogan sequence? Or is that the US Open one you analyzed a while back?

You can observe Hogan's move on the print, yet can't read his mind.

How can you make his move without knowing what's going on in his mind?

You never know! By watching it long enough, you might.

is he swinging with a whippy tempo trainer, looks like it in pic 5. and in this sequence is that considered a flat left wrist? because i have read where a flat left wrist and a visually flat left wrist are different
