Someone asked me to post this also for this site and even I know many of this forum members has seen this elsewhere, I think it makes no harm to put it also here. So little bit thoughts how I see things happened in Hogans swing

Isn't that pretty much what Bradley Hughes, Lagpressure (John Erickson), Geoff Jones, and a little of what Mark Evershed all preach. Bradley talks a lot about how Hogan had the "free drop" or flattening of his swing, then with right elbow tight against, and in front of right hip, pivoting with an angled hinge.
Seems a lot of people are taking that approach to hitting the ball.

I didn't want that people think I'm copying those guys ideas but as Bradley and also Martin knows I have had those thoughts for years and they are really based on simple geometric observations. That's why some of us are talking about same things and actually how I found Bradley was that one of my students sent me a link to his page and asked if I knew the guy, because he is saying just same that I have been telling for years. |

I have enjoyed your posts on the forums. I don't have the physics knowledge and the body mechanic knowledge of a lot of people who post so I learn from you guys. I just want to be the best teacher I can be
What I do have is 300 or so students who I work with yearly,many beginners, and teaching them simply is what I try to do. I think at times we on these forums get into arguments about moves and breaking down the swing and we forget that teaching is what its all about , well for me it is.
Thanks again Teeace for your contributions

Thanks again Teeace for your contributions Thank you for the nice words. It has been big pleasure to hear from people that some of my thoughts has been helpful. This video can maybe give you some ideas also and it's quite much how I really start with beginners. Sorry it's only in finnish, because I just made it for one group when we started their winter training few days ago. I can tell you I have had great results with only teaching those footwork moves for some 4-10 hcp players also. Please enjoy |

I got the idea. Its a good way to start. I also start that way showing how the body and pivot works. I assume you were talking about having the tilted spine in set up.I have to get to work so couldn't watch whole thing again. Too old to start taking Finnish lessons too. LOL
I think once an instructor stops learning from others he stops being a good teacher. Most of what I see, hear and read from others just reinforces my own beliefs to know that I have been on right track. Each instructor takes from past and present and incorporates it into their own philosophy that they then can translate to their students.

It's not much about that tilt, more about ground forces, foot work and lot of about the balance and opposite forces we have to find and react to those. |
