There is video of Hogan in his 70's. He only has a 50% swing, but the shots are dead straight with distance.

Slight correction: This clip was at the very latest 1958, perhaps as early as 1952. Even at the later date, Hogan,, who was born in 1912, would be 46 years old, and probably younger here.

Jimmy - no matter what ANYONE tells you, your unedited videos are THE BEST! Always keep this style. Seeing you go from hole to hole with no break and to hear your swing thought commentary makes things so simple. Never change.

Jimmy! You totally changed my game! Your relaxed approach is what made my scores go up unbelievable! I’m 73 and this made my golf experience the best!

Excellent. Keep it going!!! Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com

In the golf biz, we call it the fundamental of "connection". Keep the arms attached to the chest. Triceps glued to pectoral muscles. Good call. 💪🏻

At the end of 2023 I was getting to where I could break 100. I have always sucked at golf. In November of 2023 I shot a 95 and thought I had finally made it. Watched this video and thought I would try it this year. Got to the course for the first time this season (I have done minimal practice since November.) I shot an 86 today. Just using the Ben Hogan genius.

Keeping the swing simple is not easy for me. Mr. Tropicana, you have done one of the most challenging tasks of breaking the swing down to its fundamental part, which has given me a light bulb moment. Thank you so much.

Love the video. My game is terrible right now, the more I try the worst it gets. But after watching your last video about keeping it easy and this one I had a great range day. Just what I needed. Thanks again.

I’ve recently found your channel and you are absolutely correct with maintaining a consistent swing. I was playing this past year and one thing I noticed was that ball striking and control improved considerably when I made a shorter back swing. you mention swinging to waist high as the thought. Sometimes I tend to over swing when playing with some other better players. Once I get back into “My Swing” the ball striking improves. The interesting thing is as you say the distance doesn’t suffer just swing smooth thru the ball and keep the head down. You have a great channel.

This is genius! Can’t wait to test it out at the range. Thanks!

Many years ago, I read Hogan's Five Lessons book. A couple of years later I took a couple of lessons, the pro watched my swing, and he said "you read the book." I asked what book. He said Hogan's book.

Hey Jimmy, Great content. I like you allow us to see less than perfect shots - even shots that are miss hit. You show us that proper mindset is key to not letting mistakes compound. Any suggestions on what is the main cause of one not bottoming the club head consistently? I have too many fat or thin shots . When I am hitting consistently I never take a divot.

My favorite video honestly. I know it would be a pita, but would love to see you play 18 holes with this swing to see what you could score with that consistent swing. Thanks again for a fantastic video

Bernhard Langer I think, had a good tip which I've been using successfully for years. In an interview he said all he does is "left shoulder over right knee then right shoulder over left knee" of course while letting the club swing. Seems very similar to "turn back then turn through".

This is awesome so simple 🎉 260 drive in the fairway would be perfect for me❤ Jimmy I'm confused with weight shift. Love to know how you do it?

Looks like you did a little lean back and forth before you thinned that 9 iron. Either way, went straight. Thanks for your videos, I'm hoping I can use what you say when I play this summer.

This is proof the kiss principle has merit in golf

After giving blood in the morning I went to the driving range in the afternoon. They said don’t do anything strenuous for 24 hours. So I decided to take only easy swings and concentrate on being smooth. OMG the ball went further and straighter. You don’t have to smash the ball to make good golf shots.

G'day Jimmy from Australia. Question; I see a lot of videos on ball placement in the stance, and find that the long the iron the further forward the ball has to be. You've said in your video that the 3 iron you hit was closer to your back foot. I've trouble hitting my longs irons (4,5) so I tried your tip, but it's not working. Can you tell me what I may doing wrong? I know this is difficult without you seeing me. Thanks for the awesome videos, my game has improved a lot since watching you. BTW I'm a high handicap golfer (age; 53) and have just taken the game up only a year ago.

Yes. 2024 will be a big year. Stay tuned

Just because you hit the ball lower doesn’t mean you loose distance I go to the Australian open evry year also we have touring pro that uses the range at our local club he hit his 7 irion just as low as his 3 irion no distance lost most tour pros don’t hit the ball high as much as people think low for Dow high for show other than there drivers Rory hits it low and many others Scott hits it high Matt jones hits high Jason day hit high many others hit low shots the miss understanding is golf coaches try to get most club golfers to hit it high to get the ball in the air

amazing, haha. thats just legit. LIV golf 100%

If slice 9/14 tee shots with driver, thats consistent. Yet they want the one that goes straight.
