Elbows pointing down and a 90 degree elbow bend. Here is Hogan displaying his left side goal post and a comfortable looking finish that he could probably hold for ever. Flat and fanned left foot too. Coincidence? http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/a...d=125298551 9 I know Hogan set up with his elbows spread out . . . which contradicts what he said in 5 Lessons . . . . BUT go to the top and spread your elbows and watch what the shaft does . . . Also that goal post deal is a big indicator of what happened thru the ball (unless it's faked at the end). Look at the elbow here . . . down . . Look at the elbow spread here . . . they spread so the dude doesn't crash the clubhead into the ground because he's disrupted the radius due to throwaway. If Hogan is goalpost . . . this is foul pole position . . . Check out Hogan Hinging vs. Vjay Swiveling . . . look at the resultant elbow positions . . . check out where his hands appear in frames 8, 9, 10 and 11 in the sequence vs. the above pic of vjay . . . is it any wonder why Vjay practices so much? Hogan controls the plane and the face . . . the face is not flashing and the the longitudinal center of gravity is laying on the plane the WHOLE WAY THOUGH from delivery to follow thru . . . beautiful. Much of Hogan's motion IMO is how well he moved the club on-plane. Efficency=beauty . . . check how his hand path is matching up down and thru . . . plane shifts are hazardous . . . minimal shifting going on here. Check frame 9 . . . wedge alignments back up and in on plane. The integrity of his Right Forearm Flying Wedge still maintained as the hands disappear thru his body but the clubhead is still out . . . no slingy swiveling thru the ball . . on-plane hinging. This is how a golf club looks being moved down out and forward back up and in on plane . . . awesome. Done with a busted up set of wheels to boot. __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand Last edited by 12 piece bucket : 09-15-2009 at 10:12 AM. 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
