Hogan Golf

All great golfers have one move they consider the key to their swings. Jack Nicklaus, a great ball striker turns his head slightly to the right just before starting his takeaway. That move triggers his swing, enabling him to strike the ball powerfully. If you research the issue, as I once had a student taking golf lessons do, you’ll find the same is true for Greg Norman, Gary Player, Sam Snead, and even the great Arnold Palmer. They all have a swing secret that keys their swings.

Ben Hogan had a swing secret as well. If you asked tour opponents about it, they would have said it was his cupped left wrist-a move Hogan once highlighted in Life Magazine. And for years that was thought to be his secret. But while that move was critical to Hogan’s swing, it was only part of why he’s one of the best ball strikers ever. The other part was his right knee-the correct functioning of which enabled him to hit the ball with power and precision.

Hogan’s Cupped Wrist

Hogan explained in the Life Magazine article that his “secret” was cupping his left wrist at the top of his swing, so that his wrist joint was slightly bent inward at the top of his swing. Hogan was truthful when he emphasized the cupping of his wrist. But, as he was later to reveal to a friend, it was only part of the story. The other part was the correct functioning of his right knee. The wrist was cupped because that was the only position it could assume based on the right knee’s position.

Hogan braced his right knee before and after the takeaway, allowing it to be made with perfect balance. He maintained this position from address all the way to the top of the backswing. This move, in turn, allowed him to set the club at the top of the backswing and control the transition from backswing to downswing while maintaining balance. The right knee might sway from right to left but it would never straighten completely. When he wanted to hit the ball harder, he “ran” his right knee toward the ball.

Running His Knee At the Ball

What did Hogan mean when he said he ran his right knee at the ball? On the downswing, Hogan’s first move was to push the knee inward toward the ball. This move resulted in the lateral shifting and opening of his left hip. His only thought at the time, said Hogan, was on the right knee dropping in at the ball, which he referred to as “running at the ball.” The harder hit wanted to hit the ball, the faster he ran his knee at the ball.

By running his right knee, Hogan could generate terrific speed in his lower body. His right knee, as he later explained, moved so emphatically to the left on full shots, the knee would sometimes appear to overtake his left knee on the follow through. However, the speed was adjustable. By running his knee at different speeds, Hogan was able to control the amount of force he expended through impact.

Hogan’s secret move, however, was only a prelude to the real issue: the delivery of the club back to the ball. That was really the main objective as far as Hogan was concerned. Why? Because it provided the balance and control he needed to achieve the type of ball flight he desired. And balance and control were a big part of why he won 63 pro tournaments and 9 majors, including the Masters twice.

The secret to Hogan’s powerful swing, then, was the correct functioning of the right leg, with emphasis on maintaining the proper angle of the right knee on the back and forward swings. When combined with a slight cupping of his left wrist, this move produced optimum balance and control, and allowed him to apply as much power and speed to the ball as he wished.

Most golfers on learning Hogan’s secret will probably try imitating it. But they’re not him, so chances are good that even if they succeed in copying the move, they won’t have the same success that he had. So what’s the point of this golf tip?

The point is that all good golfers have a swing key. But the swing key is different for each golfer, as I tell players taking golf lessons from me. What works for Hogan or Nicklaus, might not work for you. If you’re serious about playing better golf and lowering your golf handicap, you’ll work on discovering what your swing key is. And that only comes through playing and practicing.

Jack Moorehouse is the author of the best-selling book How To Break 80 And Shoot Like The Pros. He is NOT a golf pro, rather a working man that has helped thousands of golfers from all seven continents lower their handicap immediately. He has a free weekly newsletter with the latest golf tips, golf lessons and golf instruction.

Is the whole universe going to explode if Tiger Woods is away from golf “indefinitely”?

Somehow I don’t remember Nicklaus, Nelson, Palmer, or Hogan having to do this because of “transgressions.”
mr. danger: The Tiger apparently doesn’t need to be single in order to live that kind of life. Tiger is on his way to ending up like Mike Tyson. This is just the beginning. Soon we will hear about the children he has fathered all over the world. Then his sponsors say “bye bye.” Then he gets bigger and bigger fines from the PGA for his boorish, vulgar behavior…….

Doubtful. Before Tiger, no one really cared who won the majors. As a matter of fact, golf became something of a dull spectator sport where most players kept having this nasty habit of losing their balls in the water. :0P
