@@lagpressure out of that era he used all of his physical capacity to hammer that ball. Never looked tight or careful. Compared to say Faldo who subdued all his physical advantages and played a very careful game. I’m guessing it affects your mentality under pressure, comes from a place relating to your experiences and failures under pressure.
John, On page 93 in Hogans 5 Lessons Hogan says this: “THE MAIN THING FOR THE NOVICE OR THE AVERAGE GOLFER IS TO KEEP ANY ‘CONSCIENCE’ HAND ACTION OUT OF HIS SWING.” To me I believe Hogan was describing “swingers” such as Moe Norman. Moe Norman talked about his “passive hands” through impact, where Hogan being a “hitter” said “I wish I had 3 right hands.” Also as Hogan described the “main thing” was keeping any “conscious hand action” out of the swing, I believe Hogan was saying in essence to not allow for any “forced casting” motion with the hands or any restricting motion such as “lag” out of the swing as well. A forced casting motion or a lag motion would both be “conscious hand actions.” This to me is Hogan describing “swinging the club head.” John what in your opinion was Hogan attempting to communicate on page 93?
To be honest.. I ditched Five Lessons a long time ago other than a good book for basic golf instruction... but in no way did he describe what he was actually doing. He left a few nuggets scattered here and there, but as a serious book on how to master the striking of a golf ball, it's maybe a 10% er. To understand Hogan's move, you have to get inside of that kind of action. There are just too many things overlooked to base his golf swing on Five Lessons. So maybe it's 50 Lessons, and he told five of them.. seems about right. This is my opinion, and it may sound harsh, but I don't believe he was going to give much away to his competitors while he was still actively competing. Not in that era. No way.
@@lookmil107I think he meant what he said. Hands misapplied are the wrong time are disastrous for novices. Advanced golfers can train and use their hands.
I'm wondering if Jake Knapp is swinging a very heavy club with tons of acceleration because it appears that he's putting very little effort into 340 shots.
I tried leaving a comment earlier but it did not take, but here goes..Did Hogan have more Ulna in his lead wrist? Ulna in the lead wrist at address is the only way I can think of as to how he could get his hands to pass thru the same spot as they were at address and at impact.
@@lagpressure Thank you for the reply, my mistake. Most of us, when we set up to the ball we have Radial Deviation of wrists (wrists bent upward toward the forearms), it seems to me Hogan's elbows were bent in a way that his wrists were more flat and inline with his forearms and I assume you would call that Ulnar Deviation.
@@jteddy11A lot of DTL film footage of Hogan will actually show that his hands came into impact lower than at address... which lead me to believe that Hogan's swing had more to do with transition and his downswing protocols than where he had his hands at address. I cover this stuff in the Hogan Module series which will be out soon.
Swing weights are more of a swinger's issue. Hitters are concerned with the overall or deadweight of the golf club. ABS Spec sheet is on the forum.advancedballstriking.com
