Great to see you again online. I purchased many years ago from you complete set of your Hogan pictures and I still have the short club

So happy to hear!

This is gold. Going to give it a try!

Thank you for this video great timing. The five lessons was my teaching pro when I took up the game. I am 68 now and I have been having issues with my hands not doing what they need to be. My left hand use to be cupped and for some reason it's not anymore thank you thank you this will be an easy fix for me. Hogan's book should be in the golf hall of Fame it's great.

It's always good to go over the fundamentals from time to time. We can get off course very easily.

Thanks for the insight Tom.

Any time!

Thanks, Tom! I can hear a differnt quality to the swoosh when I move my hands as you described. Can't wait to try it on the range.

My pleasure!

I wonder why they call it 'Hogan's Secret' rather than 'Hogan's Hook Fix'

Finally someone who understands what Hogan did. Rather than minimize wrist movement, Hogan accepted it and learned how to use it to create an ideal golf stroke

Thanks. Yes Mr. Hogan was happy for the use of the wrists as levers.

Tom, nice explanation. It dovetails with what is written by Gene Gregston in his book: "Hogan. The Man Who Played For Glory" on page 68-69. There are two secrets at work here in my opinion. One is Ben Hogan's and how he was able to eliminate his hooking, thereby allowing him to hit fades. The second secret is what the general public wants to know, and to me, that is: "How does one swing like Ben Hogan, and why are people not able to copy it." To this second secret, you get all kinds of answers. Several books and videos have been written on the subject and they run the gamut. Fellow pros had different ideas and no one seems to agree on what was the secret to Ben Hogan's swing. I find this comical. We have so much video of the man which clearly shows how he swung the club. People have a hard time trying to copy it because his swing is technically difficult to produce. We don't have access to Mr. Hogan's equipment from back then and frankly, we are not Ben Hogan.

It's funny how many people want to copy his swing, flaws and all (too much lateral movement, arms not as close together as he would have liked because his body would not cooperate after his accident).

You hit the secret now I understand thank you

Happy to help

This is fascinating! What are your thoughts on his upper left arm remaining connected to his shoulder/chest as well?

@Thesecretofhogansswing

I believe one does not have to worry about that if one can keep their arms close together during the swing. But yes the upper left should remain connected.

Don't you think rolling your hands open would be a total disaster for all these slicers out here

Thanks for sharing, rotating the club like a baseball bat seems kind of vague also, gonna have to watch some Babe Ruth swings, because we know Hogan was a fan of Ruth.

Golf swing is merely a baseball swing bent over from the hips.

I like the twisting of the hands but as I change clubs I do not understand to untwisting, When I look at Hogan's waggle and swing I see Supination and Pronation but I do not understand the timing especially when changing from one club to another.

The longer the club the more time you have to turn the right palm to the ground through the hitting area.

Is this why he said to not groove your waggle? Because the waggle was in fact a rehearsal of the power plan move ? Sorry, i've read everything anyone's ever written about hogan ten times i'm a hogan fanatic, I've watched everything you've posted multiple times as well as everyone else on youtube as wel. Any help would be appreciated I would love to get a lesson from you

I do on-line lesson as well as in-person lessons. Just look me up. Mr.Hogan liked to think of the waggle as previewing the tempo of the shot. Different tempo at different times different waggle.

Isn't that rolling the same as the John power plan move John did at the top

@Thesecretofhogansswing

Yes it will help the left hand bow at impact.

Hogan’s little twist

PLEASE help . I was watching John sleep and he talks about the power plan and the right thumb index finger how it holds lag ? It's like a hold leg then a thrust with the right arm . Is this what hogan did with 💯 certainty? Or just John.? Is this the smashing of the tray you have talked about in videos ? I wish you would do a video on that thank you

Sure I will do a video on the whole right side in the downswing real soon. While you are waiting check out TheSecretofHogansSwing.com for more info on me.

Is this technique still taught or in use? It seems that it introduces a complicated variable to an already difficult set of motor skills. That is, the timing of unwinding the wrists pretty much has to be perfect, and hardly anyone has enough time to practice something like this sufficiently, let alone the athletic talent, to put it in use. In Chapter 4 of his book, Jack Nicklaus recommends keeping the left wrist straight.

@Thesecretofhogansswing

Yes it is. But try to see that the wrists are coiling on the backswing until you reach the top. When the lower body initiates the downswing we release the coil or just let go. Try not to see it as a timing issue.

If Hogan focused on the "secret" as much as the rest of the golfing world, he would have been a 10 handicap. The secret was the most explosive turn and pivot in the game.

His lower body motion never stopped turning. Too many people stop when they get to impact.

@timothyslaughter476

@Thesecretofhogansswing if you release the arms and wrists early it magically stops the turn anyway. I call it black magic cuz its spooky. But that premature release of those angles and that load on the muscles up top shuts off the lower body and trunk turning. You end up with a slap and that fake after the fact move to an awful finish position. Of course the early extension stand up move happens within the other ugliness.

@Thesecretofhogansswing

Yes. You can not do both at the same time. The arms and hands become the driving force pulling the rest of the body to a finish.

Who know Ben Hogan’ secret? Nobody knows!

So no good to most golfers as we all slice the ball.But will try closing the face on the backswing and see what happens.

Just think back of the left hand to the ground and palm of the right hand to the ground through impact.
