Back to this original topic, the magical device book, the writer focus on how Mr. Hogan's power package attached to the rotating torso...it is not something new, even with the word "magical" added. I prefer the "Magic of the right forearm" though.

Hope I have chance to read your book soon.

Hello KOC-

To be honest I had never heard of Gary until I just Google him. I watched a few of his video's and liked what I saw, other than that I guess you have to pay to joing his website to learn what his teachings are about right side golf.

What makes Hogan's right foot slide? Well the basic answer would be force but the answer you are looking for in my own words has to be the right knee. I think once the rigth knee starts to fold the spikes are useless as the foot rolls in, but! Hogan knew this and was on a firm left leg. I think he tried to use the inner toe spikes later in the down swing so the foot did not slip, but could not fully because it would hinder the motion of the right hip "Humping The Goat as yall call it". So as he used the last little bit of leverage he had in the right foot or toe to keep from falling back right, the momentom of the everything pulls the foot foward just a little as he then proceed's to post on it for a balanced finish. I hope that helps, if you see something else I would love to hear.

Just to add a quick note for the left side crowd that feel Hogan might have pulled with the left, it is pretty hard on a firm left side to pull with the left. Just for laughts stand on you left leg and lean to the right and try to turn you left hip clear... The right foot, Right Knee, right hand push through - the right hip, right shoulder rotate through! IMO
