Gregg Mchatton was teaching this same technique when I was fortunate enough to learn my golf swing from him in Valencia, CA. He was a huge proponent of Hogan tenants. Appreciate this video very much as these techniques truly allow you to build a solid, repeatable, predictable, and quickly fixable swing
Wow it worked! This is so easy on my back and talk about compression. Now I get it. Best video demo of miracle swing. Note: I played tennis in college and I had a great serve. My setup for the serve is the same as your setup for golf. I can hit golf balls like I serve tennis balls - hard!
I watch your videos all the time since you have been on u tube but I was at the driving range and I finally felt what you have been showing everyone I gained 25 yards easy with my driver and at least 15 to 20 yards with my irons I measured my distance on a outlet of holes and hit the ball 250 instead of 220 or less
Thank-you the legends just had it they knew the golf swing done properly will work. I believe we all have our own natural swing that works. Love your shows.
You are a very good analyzer of the golf swing. Interestingly even Lee Trevino has switched to a closed stance for many shots for exactly the reasons you point out. Lee isn’t exactly in good shape today to put it mildly but next to Hogan I found him to be the most knowledgable tour player concerning the dynamics of the golf swing back in the day. (Lee Trevino had an extremely open stance throughout his tour career).
undeniable Dont forget to flare out that lead foot. When I saw the title of this video I thought you were going to discuss the left eye dominant head turn to start the takeaway which Jack and Ben and Sam all did... Add this to the drop back trail foot and the flared out lead foot and maybe the magic will happen
For us below average height golfers (5”6 man), standing tall avoids restricted mobility from hunching - more neutral plane to avoid over rotating (twisting) - wider arc to generate greater clubhead speed / club control and enables upward / explosive ground force! We also naturally have a low, powerful centre of gravity.
silly comment maybe but you could place your ball behind the last divot rather than in front. It uses less grass and the fat shot is more obvious. You are building forgiveness into your range practice as each ball is kind of teed up.
No doubt that my friend Tom Weiskopf had the greatest swing in the business. No one, I repeat , could emulate Ben Hogan’s swing. It was way to complicated (check Malaska ).
Wow i never had the same opinion as a young kid. If i remember correctly his was tall and slim compared to his competitors. I ignored Weiskopf as a junior competitor back in the day. I’ll have to watch some old vids of his swing.

That is awesome! Thanks. I love, Gregg.

Now that's the leverage I'm talking about!

This is wonderful news, Douglas! Keep up the great work.

My pleasure, George. The legends knew best!
Yes this set up is very useful for older players ; don’t forget to be square /open with your shoulders
I do that as well.

That's a great point about Trevino. We all get older!
NICE ball striking Christo! I'm going to get over the pond next year and come for a lesson or two!!
Sounds good! Come on over!

I’m right eye dominant so it’s less comfortable for me!
Thing i notice about Hogan's setup is almost no knee bend and a fairly wide stance, both aspects are somewhat frowned upon!
He stood tall!

So is the right foot pulled back a bit and aimed right ?
The feet look aimed right, but the rest of the body is normal.
It also looks like Ben has the ball really forward in his stance
Yes he did
Do you move ball position or keep it middle of stance
I gradually move the ball forward from wedge (middle) to driver (front foot).
BTW, Hogan was born in 1912...August 13. Thus he was 47 in the 1960 US Open.
Thank you 🙏🏻 😅
I was the 73rd like here. Over par as usual.
We're all on a unique journey!
I'm mad at myself for taking so long to finally feel what you have been showing us
It's a tough puzzle to assemble because we all have different pieces!

I usually do that but you’d have to see what the ground is like. I listed a pic on X that was just hard pan dirt everywhere.
Those look like Utah mountains 👀

Miguel Ángel Jiménez is another one that swings over the top.
He’s a great ball striker!

Weiskopf had an amazing swing!!! You guys were friends?
Tom Weiskopf had the best swing in my opinion.
It’s at the top for sure!

You are spot on
Who was better? "I've seen Nicklaus watch Hogan practice, but I've never seen Hogan watch Nicklaus practice." Ken Venturi
Are you hitting your 3 off a tee? If not, why not?
I hit that 3 wood off of the ground.
Don’t get it..
Just pull your right foot back
you gave up 50% of speed by dropping club
ben hogan is nothing compare to linn grant swing
😀👍
