What a great video I had seen a clip a few years back but never seen the whole video thanks.

Great video man.

I like the part when he's showing the slo-motion stuff from each angle. Then the camera guy asks if he wants to show any more shots from different angles- Hogan says, "No. That's all there is."

It looks like Hogan plays with open shoulders...true?

Trig 04-04-2005 02:47 PM

I think...

I think he plays with a closed stance and shoulders parallel to the target line....maybe someone knows for sure out there...

Just watched some of this again today...

Couldn't help but think how amazing this video would be if they were all talking in "TGM speak."

Noticed today that his head is not exactly stationary when he hits his driver in this vid...it moves laterally...and ONLY laterally until it moves up after impact.
Interesting...everyone always comments on his steady head...maybe for short irons? Or did he change his swing after this vid or something?

Talking of steady heads, watch Jeff Maggert -- perfect example.

Just to add. If you can learn to pivot on a Teeter totter as Chuck evans shows in one of his videos that would lead to similar mechanics. I made one here in India where I teach and decided to try it on one of my new students who had no introduction to golf, a fairly young and flexible fellow, patient and willing to learn. Took us two days working on the body lane but what superbly successful results in the pivot components. All that he could do to maintain the teeter totter in balance was to control the pivot with the hands. --- He could'nt reverse pivot!! could'nt sway could'nt fall over on the heels or toes------- WOW !!!!!!!! breakthrough!!!!!!!. This kid learnt to swing the club with perfect balance and within three weeks can hit an 8 iron to 120 yds. 11 yrs old. What satisfaction!!!

Hmmm...but in this vid his head doesn't move much at all:
