I had never seen the article in its entirety.

"Not worth a doggone to the average duffer."
That would be me.

To me the sincerity of the presentation is obvious.
That plainly was his secret.

Thanks for that Peter! Great stuff! Just looking at the other articles and the adds is great fun...

I find it interesting that Hogan talks about consciously controlling the top of swing position of his lead wrist while the rest of the swing was 'muscle memory'.

LOL I sometimes notice that I cup my lead wrist at the top rather severely generally resulting in a big slice. I don't why as this not something that want to do. I guess that I should pay a little more attention to it.

I found a while back that the 'loading' the club places on the lead wrist due to a (too fast) transition will cause the lead wrist to 'cup'. My fix at the time was to pay attention and not let it happen. My fix now is to slow my transition ala Bertholy.

BTW - the picture of his 'cupped' wrist corresponds to what Scott showed me as the 'natural straight' position of the wrist. The picture of Hogan's 'straight' wrist is a position that has to be 'held'; your wrist will not likely go to that position on it's own.

With my IMA lead hand grip and setting of Keystone I find that my wrist goes flat immediately. As long as I maintain a strong trail arm curl and Keystone it remains this way. The only way I can "make it" cup is if my trail elbow "flies" in the backswing - points out and away from my body. Coming down, as long as I keep a strong curl and the trail elbow points to the navel I am good.

It happens automatically now, so I don't give it any thought, but my elbows stay VERY close to each other throughout the entire swing...

I cup the lead wrist a very large amount sometimes. Usually when I am confident and trying to hit it extra far with the driver. The result is not usually very pretty...

I went into my Internet Explorer cache and pulled out the images of the pages. I then pasted these into a Word document.

Peter

Sorry about that. I used the cache 'trick' for something else; that did not work with the Hogan article at Google Books. Instead I did screen captures and pasted them into a word document.

Peter

I have right clicked on stuff and held the button down,
it turned blue and copied it and sent it to the word program
and then printed it from there. Some stuff don't turn blue.
What are screen captures?

JC

There is a key at the top of the keyboard (normally the top of the section with the arrow keys on a full sized keyboard) labeled PrtScn on top and SysReq underneath. If you hold the 'alt' key down while pressing this key you get PrtScn (Print Screen) and the screen image is saved to the Windows clipboard. You can then 'paste' it into other programs.

Peter

You can save them by using the Firefox browser. Scroll the picture you want to save. Then using the tools tab at the top of the browser click on "page info". Then click on the "media" tab. Then under media you see a bunch of addresses and/or file names. Scroll down to the second one from the bottom and click on it. You should then see the image you want to save. Click the save as button and then choose where to save it on your computer. You must save it as a jpeg file or I think it will not work. I used the filename hogenlifecover.jpeg for the first image and saved to a folder that I can hopefully find later.

ps - You might want to magnify the image before saving it. Much clearer when enlarged that way.

Peter

small image in the file and one bigger one.

I did not know you could enlarge and save. That is definitely better for the text as otherwise I thought it was a bit small.

Thanks,
Ham
