The Hogan I Never Knew

Here's an interesting analysis of Ben Hogan's swing by Wayne deFrancesco. Hogan played before my time. His swing had very little impact on my thinking about golf until very recently as a result of comments from my readers. There are a number of points I'll comment on in future posts but notice (1) the downward head movement during the iron swing, (2) the straightening of the right leg during the driver backswing, (3) the butt moving "out of the box" on the backswing, (4) stance width on driver swing and (5) position of the left wrist at the top of the backswing--controversial issues in current golf instruction.
