@AbbyKnightsFtw Yeah, I know.
@mxlevi456 There is no such thing as a one plane swing, because every human has 2 things to turn around, his left leg and right leg. The only way to really have a one plane swing would be to swing with one leg. The difference is really in how close ones 2 planes are together, if they are close most people consider it one plane, but in fact it is two very close planes
Greatest golf swing ever in my mind.
47 seconds in that is as stylish as it will ever get on a golf course. can you imagine the ball flight he was looking at. holy sh%# what a legend
The move that I marvel at is the way he is able to start his downswing a split second before he finishes his back swing, all in one fluid motion - for maximum torque and power. (I guess that’s the reward for spending thousands of hours on the practice tee.)
@qbb01
The fade was his shot, once he eliminated the hook.

@botterweckwb i don’t get how you can be so good like him and not play a cut? i’m a 6 hdcp and can turn it whichever way i want but this is Ben Hogan how could he not control a cut?
@thehurtboy4 I was thinking the same thing.Fowler does have that flat swing like Hogans with the same arm action and those quick hands through impact.
@teewoods It does look funky and not too smooth like most hookers, but it was consistent and reliable.
love the music - i know james last did this cover too
one plan just looks ugly - like he is chopping wood

@abulibabuli theme from rocky “gotta fly now “
What’s the name of the song??
has anyone noticed the similarities in Ben Hogan’s swing and Rickie Fowler’s?
@ugged2k9, actually, the modern balls spin less. The balata spun tremendously; it just didn’t go as far.
Everything Hogan did in his swing was designed to eliminate his tendency to hook. NOT a problem most people have.
His swing attacked the ball from the inside and he wanted to be able to release as hard as he could and hit the ball straight. Again, not a problem most people have.
Five fundamentals is a great book, especially with regard to the grip, setup, posture and takeaway. The rest of the backswing and downswing will require a good teacher for most people.
spin he got was incredible. he would get loads with todays ball
Gene Littler had classic swing too! Check it out
If there is one thing average golfer can take away from Hogans swing - is to watch his PIVOT, meaning how he loads against his right leg. PERFECT PIVOT- that is where the power is.?
Well it’s not a theory he says so in Life Magazine August 8th, 1955 that is what he did to eliminate the hooks. So at the top of the swing his wrist is cupped, open face (unlike many great players Palmer, Trevino, Watson are bowed out). On the downswing plane he bowed out the wrist to be “supinated” at impact. He swung on an adjusted “pane of glass” on the downswing. His elbow action was as an infielder throws a ball.
I think you know Jim Hardy but are not familar with “5 lessons”.
I have heard that theory, too, but I have to agree with Jim Hardy and respectfully disagree with you. The weak grip and the open clubface does little to hit straighter shots. If it is successful in eliminating hooks, you can bet its just creating a lot of pushes, It just moves the problem around. The secret is in the downswing. Notice how his right elbow does not lead the downswing(it does when he was younger) and how it is more at his side at impact. Compare with younger Hogan.
Hogan clearly knew what he was doing but if you think Hogan’s swing looks like what he describes in 5 fundamentals, you need your eyes checked. It is quite common for tour players to give advice intended for amateurs that is almost opposite of what they tell themselves for they have all the opposite set of tendencies. Hogan was very intelligent, obviously, he knew if he told most people what he actually did, it would hurt most people’s swing.
Once again, two planes means the arms swing up and down and the shoulders turn very flat. The combination creates the plane. It has nothing to do with the difference between the backswing and downswing.
In BH lessons there is a backswing plane (called the “pane of glass”) and a downswing plane which angled slightly to right of the target line.
However, if you see my post you can see the “pane of glass” as shown in the book is not what he swung on. He used the ball as a reference when swinging, but the actual geometry of the backswing plane was at less of an angle than illustrated.
