you can watch this over and over again, read his 5 steps book, and 100% you still won't know what he's actually doing, it took me 20 years to figure it out,
I'm a former student of both Henry Picard and Gardner Dickinson. Two men very close to Hogan. I know how Hogan swung the club. How do I know? Henry Picard taught me how Hogan did it. On a hot South Carolina lowcountry day outside of Charleston, South Carolina around 1988 at a driving range on Johns Island that was straight out of Tin Cup. The things he taught me and showed me were validated by Gardner Dickinson In the mid-90s when I met Gardner at Loxahatchee Country Club in Florida for a lesson which turned into being not just a lesson but a validation of what I learned from Henry Picard and he had me jump in his golf cart and play nine holes watching me teaching me. I learned things that you have never been in print before nor in a video.... Nothing anywhere. New information on specific details of his golf. Sway whether that be footwork his hitting position his delivery through impact his right foot which he called his rudder I could go on and on. So I agree with what you said except for one person and that would be myself
I watch videos of Mr. Hogan every single day, he's absolutely mesmerizing. His equipment from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's etc. is still sort after by golf nuts like me. The Hogan irons, wedges are still valid, i have 4 sets and counting. Played a Hogan persimmon driver (1971) just last week. The sound and feel is outrageous; the attention they garner from other golfers is worth the loss of distance. GOD Bless! Happy New Year!!!
I believe what set Hogan apart from every other player was his footwork - if you watch closely, his balance was immaculate, allowing the perfect timing to release the club. He alone had the ultimate eye-hand coordination to bring the club back to the ball time after time - no one has ever been close to his level of play - I've seen him in person and he was truly awesome!!!
Wow! What a treat to have seen him play with your own eyes. I'm jealous.

I remember someone asking Hogan about the backswing , always start by TURNING the right hip he replied, never ever sway to the right otherwise your swing will fail.if you watch Bens swing by TURNING that right hip his hands and arms always go into that low top of the backswing position where he sweeps back LOW into the ball. Some of the other professionals seem to get into a much higher top of the swing with hands and arms and, do not have the same control as Ben.
The early B&Ws are before his massive injuries when he was in his ultimate prime. That prime was interrupted twice. First between 1943 & 1945 by WW2 & military service. During 1946 thru the accident in Feb 1949 he was the greatest player the world will ever know. In the '48 US Open he shattered the open record by 5 shots with an amazing 276 on 7000 yd Riviera. Also, bare in mind that it wasn't till 1960 that players were allowed to clean the ball on the green. During that time frame of 1941-1949 he also set new scoring records in the N&S Open at Pinehurst with a 271 in '42 (breaking his own from '40) and in the Western Open (271) in '46. He set a new tour stroke ave. record in 1941 with an amazing 70.5 and then set another one in '48 with a 69.3. Between 1940 & 1947 he finished top 5 in 12 straight modern major attempts which is still the all-time high & 7 still being the next best streak. He is still the only player in tour history to (1) win at least 10 times in a year twice (1946 & '48) and (2) finish top two 15 times in a year twice (1941 & 1946) . The Hogan of the post injuries after 1949 was not the same guy. He won 6 majors but he did it with a modified swing and a far more control game than the power AND control game he played during the 40s. He also puttered a little better after '49 partly because of help from people like Jackie Burke who was a great putter and the fact that he played only a hand full of events per year which meant he didn't have to be good on the greens very often.
These are two more facts that demonstrate how good Hogan was. He was the 1st to win 2 Goodall Round Robins ( 1940 & 1946) which was a very unique and demanding format of competition which combined match play with stroke play. Each of 15 or 16 players matched up against each of the other entrants over a 5 day period with the player who had the highest aggregate positive record vs each of the other opponents winning (he only played in 2 more of these after the '49 injuries). The winner take-all World Championship of Golf was held 12 times between 1946 & 1957. Hogan played in only 2 of them (1947 & 1951) and won them both again becoming the event's 1st 2-time winner. The more one learns about Hogan and everyone else he separates himself even further from all others who ever played the game.
I totally agree - there are critics like Jimmy Ballard who thought the post-accident compact swing was better but the pre-accident swing was so pure and athletic. In a golfing sense, he was the perfect combination of a gymnast and a ballet dancer. I was almost 17 when I saw him in 1960 and it was shortly after the U.S. Open at Cherry Hills where he hit the first 34 greens the last day in regulation (imagine him playing 36 holes with his legs encased in bandages ) and he would have beaten Palmer if he hadn't spun a perfect wedge shot into the water on the 35th hole. I remember I was told by our local pro I couldn't follow their friendly group around but I knew where I could sneak a peek from certain vantage points. You're right about his company - I read where he threw out the first 100,000 clubs because they didn't meet his standards. Sounds like something he would do.
Such a beautiful swing! Makes me realize how bad most of the modern golf instruction really is. Hogan is free swinging. Not holding angles or trying to “create lag”
Notice 2:35 the head drift away from the target in his back swing but re centers at the top of his back swing.He is not forcing his head to stay in place. His straight right leg pushes the head back where he started.
I watched the follow through with his hands up high over his left shoulder and slightly over his head. Sometimes I pull a shot to the left with my hands low on the follow through.
What is amazing is that Ben Hogan did not release the clubhead. At impact his right hand was closer to his body than his left hand.. evidence that the right hand did not rotate over the left hand ...only after impact. Impossible to pull or pull/hook when the right hand rotates open during the DS. yes it is amazing how Ben Hogan was able to swing without releasing the clubhead. Now we understand: "Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing."
Mr. Hogan takes the club way back and around on the load up, not as much as John Daly, but somewhat like that. Smooth as silk, not struggling, no herky jerky, sheer beauty!

Sublime Swing. What did you figure out?
Good for you
Left hip and leg are key

I agree... and his flexibility. Any other player would easily hit up more fat or top it. Hogan seem to nail it every time
Relatively quiet footwork almost like modern players. Perfect footwork.
it’s all about sequence
Wow! What a treat to have seen him play with your own eyes. I'm jealous.

The acceleration AFTER impact is so evident with Hogan. It’s like the ball sticks to the face and he is trying to fling the ball as far as possible

Hogan was a very good putter his whole life until his later years.
who is the Korean chick in your picture?

Grandmaster, simple as that really.
The music is so matching the glory of his majestic swing!
Liszt's 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody (orchestrated, originally for piano solo)
A remarkably beautiful swing, so fluid and flawless. He makes it looks so easy, and we all know it isn't.
it is easy, if he tells you where to look.
@@alejandrocabrera5556 No, it is not "easy."
that lag and whip
It's really a treat to watch the master in slow-motion!, and excellent background music too!!!... just perfect!...
After 1953 Hogan focused on his company and didn’t compete as much..
Body core is pure steel
really really rare documentary! thanks for upload!

who is the composer
Liszt Ferencz. That song is Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (by Liszt).

You Da's always put some creepy weird music to video. Or just inappropriate.
did you see all that lag! wow!
I Like the early footage... pre accident form.. thx..

One of most Major winner!
lag for daze

Notice 2:35 the head drift away from the target in his back swing but re centers at the top of his back swing.He is not forcing his head to stay in place. His straight right leg pushes the head back where he started.
Was wondering if there is some underlying reason for the clips of Bobby Jones and Sam Snead in this-also Jimmy Demerit, maybe, putting?
The perfect music to go along with the perfect swing! 😀
I watched the follow through with his hands up high over his left shoulder and slightly over his head. Sometimes I pull a shot to the left with my hands low on the follow through.
Wonderful balance, he really got everything into the back of the ball. It must have been such a solid sounding strike live.
I saw Bobby Jones in there a couple of frames.
So what is that showing exactly 3:19?
Yub, i never seen it before, thanks for upload.
Quite extraordinary.
thanks & subscribe
The release of the club is amazing ....
What is amazing is that Ben Hogan did not release the clubhead.
At impact his right hand was closer to his body than his left hand.. evidence that the right hand did not rotate over the left hand ...only after impact.

Brilliant!!
Wonderful upload; really appreciate it.
Thanks for watching and subscribe!!!
Great video!
What was Bobby Jones doing in there?
I didn't like it. Too choppy.
