Lately, i read almost all information of Mr. Hogan as far as i can reach, 25 books with his name inside, video and DVD, and i paid attention on his ZONE #1 such as keeping the right knee angle and trace the ball; pivot around the left leg; hip slide before start down...etc
When i went to range, my shots became left, left, left right, left and even shannnnnk :crybaby:
I knew that there is something wrong in such a way of practice. One night after a tricycle accident to my leg (my son crashed to me), i laid down and started to think...If Homer really did take huge amount of Hogan's swing as reference in writing the book, why Homer focused on monitoring HAND instead of PIVOT?
Ben Hogan wrote over 30 pages regarding the GRIP in 5 lessons and he said he wish to have 3 right hands; he said his secret to Life Magazine was his cupped left wrist (with the change of his way to grip), all related to ZONE #3.
With golfbulldog’s pictures, it was a wake up factor! I drew, though very bad, these 3 pictures below and with reference to Denis Pugh recommended so-called “Butterfly Grip”, helped me hitting solid shot after shot – power fade.
The image was awesome! When I pull slowly, the body pivot in response moving slower, when I pull hard, the left hip cleared out of the way for my PULL. It works for me very well and I hope my search is ended.
