HOGAN's PARALLEL SQUARE GRIP (45/90) SUPPORTS
BACK WRIST-FOREARM "REVERSE SPIRAL"
En Route To TOS.
"SECRET" SQUARING MECHANIC In GOLF! -- Finding Reveals New Principle -- Parallel "45" COIL CONVERGENCE @ TOS!
_________________________________________________
Tradition advises that a golf swing consists of "2" Power Rotations:
"1" Coil Back -&- "1" Release Forward.
"HOWEVER!" Healthy Golf Finds "3rd & 4th Rotation"
The "3rd" is natural to the Backswing and relatively simple to observe: The Lead Shoulder & Upper Arm "ROLL IN TOWARD THE BODY" As The Takeaway Proceeds Past The Back Hip.
The "4th Rotation" (HOGAN's BACK FOREARM "TWIST") -- is not at all obvious -- but initiates a "Catalytic Combination" of UPPER BODY SQUARING VARIABLES --"Relative to the Back Shoulder"-- that serve the function of producing "STRAIGHT SHOTS -&- SLICE FREE GOLF!"
** THIS "45 SEMI-PRONATION or "REVERSE ROLL" Of The BACK FOREARM traces to Mr. Hogan's Grip & "Inside Muscles" -- Is A Critical Part Of The SWING "SECRET" or HIDDEN MECHANICS In GOLF!
Clearly, tracing these critical "Hidden Mechanics" took serious time, but teachers and players will much enjoy confirming this key catalyst in the swing.
In fact, the later discovery of the "INVERTED TAKEAWAY ("IT")
BRINGS US TO A NEW LEVEL OF SWING INSIGHT & PERFORMANCE!
==========================================================
NOTE ADJACENT PHOTO / Especially "45 Convergence" @ TOS!
Also See FIVE LESSONS -- Page 97-- 99.
Research indicates that when a swing includes the
REVERSE WRIST-FOREARM SQUARING ROTATION
performance works like a charm and slicing disappears!
**SIMPLY PUT:
1. The back and forward swing planes repeat successfully;
2. The hands need "NOT" turn over at impact; and
3. BALLS FLY CONSISTENTLY STRAIGHT, "Time & Time Again!"
-- CONVERSELY --
If the Wrist-Forearm Reverse does "not" present or late in occurring, results shape like a mixed bag of unforced errors involving issues too difficult to overcome at impact!
=========================================================
Of course, Mr. Hogan well knew technical "squaring mechanics" and included the "3rd & 4th" ROTATIONS as natural extensions of his
"GRIP -&- INSIDE MUSCLES" @ SWING ADDRESS!
--- KINDLY OBSERVE ---
With HOGAN's "TWIST" HELPING THE BACKSWING
Golfers Can Easily Turn & Deliver The Club
SQUARE THROUGH IMPACT To A Natural
"SKY HIGH LIBERTY FINISH"
TIME & TIME AGAIN!
================================================= "BY THE WAY" -- RESEARCH CONFIRMS:
It is also Hogan's "TWIST" that brings the club to "PARALLEL" at the Top Of Swing!
(Note Club Position In Photo!)
IN CONCLUSION -- Both the Adjacent Photo & Plate Below
provide clear vision of TRUE MASTER KEYS IN GOLF!
In retrospect, Mr. Hogan was correct in his
Letter Dated May 12, 1991:
"I am sure it will be quite successful."
May I say:
Healthy Golf Research Is Successful Only Because
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN GUIDED BY "HOGAN "EYES" THAT ALREADY HAD THE SCIENCE TO SEE!
Clearly, all findings reported on this website are dedicated to the memory of Mr. Hogan:
A "Player/Scientist" of the first rank and CHAMPION WHO PIONEERED SWING SCIENCE AT ITS ANATOMICAL CORE ROOT!
(See Five Lessons, Pages 109 -- 110)
--------------
KEY #6
Research indicates most players "do not" adjust "Foot Stance" to Club Length; and generally instructors tend to emphasize the "PARALLEL POSITION" for all shots. -- This is a mistake!
"9" Time Major Champion Ben Hogan advises quite differently and takes the time to document exactly "How You Should Adjust!"
Study Page 125 of the Five Lessons and you will quickly discover that Mr. Hogan knows exactly what he is doing!.
** Expect shots to improve IMMEDIATELY in both Long & Short Game, with Lower Handicaps Soon To Come!
Notice, for all basic shots "Ball Position Remains The Same" Inside the Lead Heel.
1. For Specialty Shots -- up, down and side hill -- adjust the ball "FORWARD or BACK" perhaps by 2 inches.
2. To hit shots a bit Higher or Lower than Normal, move the ball a bit Forward or Back.
MOST IMPORTANT -- SEE DVD #2 For SHORT GAME PROFICIENCY!
It provides the "Bi-Axis" Conceptual Framework to play shots "Fully Forward" & "Fully Back."
In short: For Special Shots be a bit flexible regarding ball position
"BUT" Always Be "Balance Square" To Your Target & Swing "Through The Ball!"
PLAYERS PLEASE NOTE
1. The Back Foot Aligns "45" To Proper Ball Position For All Clubs;
2. The Front & Back Heels Are Aligned @ 20 Degrees To The Target; &
3. For "Dynamic Balance" Of The Front Foot, Also Align "45 OPEN!"
