12 Piece Bucket Pictures
Hi Bucket, the pictures were wonderfull. This first one at the top was
really great. The left wrist looks straight without the cup in the left
wrist. In the Life Magazine article, August 8th 1955, Hogan mentioned that the angle was only 4 to 6 degrees and almost invisable to the naked eye
which maybe why the angle is hard to see. The article says that the move
was backward and inward. The picture does not really show the inward?
In the book, Afternoons with Mr. Hogan by Jody Vasquez, Hogan explained
that the left wrist was cupped because it was the only position the wrist
could assume based on the the position of the right knee. Hogan was
looking for a body in balance. Now to V.J.s center of gravidty being over
the piovt axis, at the top of the backswing, I can certainly see better
balance. I am trying to see if their is a relationship of the cupped left wrist, presented by Vasquez to the slanted right knee that V.J. presents with photos and text. What do you think.
