[O.B.Left]

Why do you think Hogan's right hand was so on top of the club?

As he pushed the club to the aiming point with the right wrist and right knucle the rotation of the dominant right side squared the arc and the right hand controled the shot.

Hey Burley

I dont think he pushed at #3, at #1 certainly but not at #3. He said there was very little grip pressure at the right index finger but sensed some pressure "coming through". Which to me seems consistent with #3 being a non direct drive pressure point. Here is a transcript of the Coleman Palm Beach tapes.

Ben Hogan:

"Are you on sound?" "These are the pressure points, in your hands.

The two center fingers of your right hand and last three fingers of your left hand. Here." (Pointing)

Also this butt pad shoves right on up on top of the shaft, while your last three fingers are pulling up at all times. Very little pressure on the index finger of the right hand and thumb. You get the pressure of your right hand with this butt pad of your index finger. Going through. It isnt any pressure down or around the shaft, its just forward" (He then demonstrates with a movement of the hands forward, applying lag pressure to the #3 pressure point).

"Ok Ben thank you a lot, that was hard work etc "


End of tape.


I like your idea about his left hand not being as weak as thought.........you can have your left thumb on top of the grip and still have a turned grip and some knuckles showing. His grip wasnt strong by any means but it wasnt super weak either.
