20 Yards
 

Really got a kick out of a call last night. I gave a copy of the
"Missing Piece" to a friend of mind and we worked on it all last
week. My buddy played with his friends and hit the ball 20 Yds
further, even reached a par 5 in 2. His buddies asked about
what looked like a move to the left in his swing. He told them
that it was the "Stack and Tilt". I told him what V.J. said about
the "Stack and Tilt" and he said, "I read that, but Hogan never
told the S.O.B.s his secret and I am not about to tell them mine."

My buddy says that V.J.s bump to the right at start helped a lot.
My buddy is a fan of Homer Kelley and likes to think of the left shoulder
in terms of the #4 pressure point. The marked dowel helped a lot
to get a picture of the address, low point and left shoulder.

No offense, but your Bud needs to look at Hogan's swing just prior to his accident in '48 when he was dominating the Tour. He'd see that Hogan was in near continous motion from waggle to follow thru and actually triggered his backswing start with a very slight inward move of the right knee after he set his feet. It does give the illusion of his right hip moving or bumping onto his right leg. From there Hogan turns onto his rear leg but never straightens it.

Favorable Results
 

I received my book last week and have been doing the drills since then. Today, I went to the range to try out "the move" and I love it. Getting into the recommended position at the top greatly simplified the downswing for me and produced a crisp and centered rotation through the ball.

I am pleased with the results and recommend the book. The drills are very easy to follow.

Trevino meeting Hogan...
 

Trevino said when he met Hogan who was
eating soup.. his friend introduced Lee
as the next great ball striker.....Ben just
looked down and kept eating.....

I recommend it too
 

While it is a bit cold and snowy to try out the recommended move now (I live in New York), I did like the book very, very much.

It is a very quick read and the proceeds go to a good cause. The drills seem straight forward and I will give them a go when the weather warms up a bit more.

In fact I liked it so much I plan to give out several during the holidays to my firends who are Hogan fans. I am hoping to get a few signed by the author (I haven't called yet to inquire) and I know my boss will love it (big, big, Hogan fan.....He actually got to see him play a few times....A bit older than I am to say the least).

I can't tell you yet if it works or if Hogan did it all the time but I think the book is very well done and a great addition to your Hogan reading materials (I have them all).

I got it Today,
Great -thanks VJ:salut:
Mr Kelly says use the hip bump.
Mr Trolio confirms it.
Mr Blake does it.
Recently [last 5 years],as well as taking lessons from my club Pro[an AI] and various teachers from Georgia and Mississippi -[all AI's] I have also been "digging it out in the dirt".I have not had a lesson for about a year -but I have found myself getting closer to feeling i was "on my left leg"

The book confirms what has proved to improve my swing-together with the application of TGM.
Cheers Trolio and LBG :occasion:

P.S. I only bought 4 copies, sorry VJ but we can't have us Euros getting too good before the Ryder Cup!

Your vile hatred is palpable . . . rotten to the very core.

Bucket, did you forget HOOTERS or have you not found it yet?

it's all the same to Bucket
 

In Bucket's world,

Waffle House = Hooters
