Ben Hogan Video Shows Efficient Down Swing

I saw this Ben Hogan video on YouTube. He is 66 years old.

I noticed that Ben:

  1. Starts the swing using the same pre-shot routine (grip the club, aim the club head, stand to the butt end of the club, and good posture “GASP”)
  2. Uses the same rhythm
  3. Finishes in balance
  4. Creates an efficient down swing using vertical motion

He deliberately executes slow motion swings that shows what I believe is what he “feels” during the swing.

  1. He shows efficient creation of power in the back swing (the right side stretches up as the back of the left shoulder stretches )
  2. He shows efficient release of energy in the down swing (the bottom of the front outside of the ball of the left foot snap up, the top of the right shoulder blade snaps up, the right upper arm and the right forearm drop down, while the fingers engage up). Great stuff.
