@@chrismcmorrow9738 the greats do it from any position (laid off, across the line, whatever) I think in the lesson he is helping a short hitting amateur gain some distance, when hogan cared 90% about accuracy

I disagree with you sir, most high handicappers have a weak wipey slice. Any smart teacher teaches them to square the face first (with wrist/hands) first to get it going left then straighten it out. The wrist snap also allows them to hold lag, another one of their big issues. The bottom line is what high handicapper uses the arms/wrists effectively, not many, most struggle with the body throwing the right shoulder out and over. The way most all great players learn is using arms/wrists/hands hooking then straighten it out with body turn.

@agency7367 weak slice isnt caused only by club face, most likely its an over the top swing that cause it and thats the classic mistake of an high handicap. Talking about myself, anytime i was thinking about snapping or using hands at impact my swing was getting worse. Having loose arms and fluid body work should be imho the most important teaching (that will automatically generates more speed on the club head).

@@holyster2285 I agree with you it is not only club face. Usually that over the top swing is playable as a pull or even pull cut if you get face right, which is the first thing to address, then path. I understand your experiences are your own, and not thinking a snap works for you then that's great. Snead in his books always stresses the loose tension free arms and body, he constantly references feeling oily too! Maybe that old timer knew what he was talking about...

@@agency7367 infact he had One of the smoothest swing ever. But that snap i would still prefer to be created by soft wrists and soft arms instead of actively thinking of creating It (lag aswell is a consequence of dead arms and wrists wich stay behind the body during the transition). But , thats my thought ☺️

Ha! How did the swing look in person?

@@agency7367 it was in the mid 1980's and still looked great. i think bob charles won the tournament. it was at nashawtuc cc in concord, massachusetts.

Hi. He actually won more. The powers that be took away (I think) five or six others that he won. They gave him the shaft.

You don't hit is with your backswing, all about getting in the right position to hit and impact. I'll copy the 7x major winner over the youtubers who break par once a month!

@@agency7367 your right these youtubers are destroying my golf game

@@agency7367 I wondered about a lot of the guys doing UA-cam golf instruction too, like how good are they really.

I would love to hear about this story! What was his ball flight like, how did the swing look in person!???

@@agency7367 it was my rookie year on tour I finished 3rd at Waterwood National to earn my card. On the first tee that day I was a little star stuck but after a few holes it was just another day at the course. We were only a twosome. He did hit one of the best green side bunker shots I have ever seen , he was in an impossible spot but managed to hit it a foot from the hole. He did give me a bunker lesson after I asked him how he did that.We got along great all day but that was the only time I had the honor to play with him . He struck it well all day.

I'll edit the description, I knew the first swing was from 2002 and knew he was born in 1912 like Hogan and Nelson, but didn't think to check what month he was born. Good catch

Old teachers like Harvey Penick would support this! You learn to use your hands/wrists/arms first to learn a hook, then add body rotation to straighten it out.

I’ve now learned to ignore opinions, even of “experts”. You can listen, but verify your own facts and trust your own analysis.

It’s all in the wrists.

Great swing feel

Excellent visual. Thanks.

Great insight, I would add that greats of the past (Hogan/Snead) had more body driven swings and pivots than modern pros anyways (who's hips stall at impact)

The good ol side saddle, like croquet style got rid of his yips!

They had to outlaw that style.. happened when he got the yips.

Sam Snead’s putting style is perfectly within golf’s rules.

@@seanm3226 Snead started by straddling it between his legs and the rules people changed the rules to stop it! So Snead did side saddle instead!

@@seanm3226 Nope. You are incorrect. It USED TO BE.
