The Complete Hogan: Golf Swing Analysis

Renowned golf instructor Jim McLean uses rare film footage of Ben Hogan to dissect what he believes is the greatest swing in the history of golf. For years, the mechanics of Ben Hogan's perfect swing have been shrouded in mystery, but with the help of previously unexamined footage, McLean sheds light on the crucial motions that made Hogan's swing so remarkable.

By analyzing over one hundred stills from three rare films, McLean breaks down every key detail of Hogan's flawless swing before the car accident that altered his playing style. This level of analysis is unparalleled in any previous books on Hogan, as it reveals fifteen secrets of Hogan's swing, covering essential topics such as the grip, the waggle, the left hip action, lateral motion, rotation and turning movements, head position, and more.

Drawing extensively on the insights of Hogan's friends and competitors, many of whom were also golfing greats, McLean provides a comprehensive understanding of the mechanics behind Hogan's swing. As one of Golf Digest's top five teachers and a pioneer in video analysis who witnessed Hogan play firsthand, McLean offers a unique perspective on Hogan's swing that has never been seen before.

While there have been numerous books on Hogan's swing, none, including Hogan's own writings, have illustrated his swing at its most perfect. Additionally, none have shown its mechanics as clearly and thoroughly as McLean does in his analysis. This book allows readers to virtually tee it up with Hogan by integrating his mechanics into their own game, making it as close as one can get to embodying Hogan's legendary swing.
