In terms of Hogans sequence, its well documented to my mind, by Hogan himself and others..........ground up. Here is Moe Norman's take on it.............."We're the only two guys in golf that get into a sitting position ......as we take the club back".

Nice clip of Moe. If I'm not mistaken, that is the voice of the guy from the Big Break who was a Moe fan (and swung a lot like him). I'm blanking on his name, but I saw him a year or so ago give a clinic in Fairfax, VA. As close to Moe as I've seen in terms of pattern (although not as straight I suspect).

the key part of that clip is the focus on the 'sit down', and the leading of the left knee.

that left knee move is very much worth paying attention to IMO.

Hogan, Moe and Knudson all had it. As does Faldo, and to a less obvious degree, Trevino.

As far as a swinger's start down, a focus on the left knee or right shoulder is a good place to 'start'.
