Below is the only known detailed Ben Hogan swing sequence series made with a stop-action camera. It was reproduced from the book, The Search For the Perfect Golf Swing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The sequence has sixteen frames, but only four for the backswing. In an in-time sixteen-frame sequence, the backswing would take up about twelve of the frames.<\/p>\n

Hogan did not take the club back in a leisurely way. Notice that the shaft is already bending.<\/p>\n

2.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

3.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Halfway back, his wrist hinge is almost fully set.<\/p>\n

4.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Notice his ramrod straight left arm. Only Hogan gets away with this.<\/p>\n

5.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

It looks like Hogan has a tremendous amount of lag, but it is because his flat swing tilts the plane of his arms and clubshaft far away from a vertical plane of the film. Figure 8 shows his lag better.<\/p>\n

This is really late to be retaining this much lag. Don’t you try this.<\/p>\n

You know what I always say about the hands leading the clubhead at impact? Here it is.<\/p>\n

12.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

13.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Hogan did not cross his hands over after impact. This, and figure 14, show his right hand underneath the handle for a long time. This is a huge anti-hook move, but it’s very hard to do.<\/p>\n
