Joe Norwood talked about Ben Hogan's left arm being fully extended, and that most people short themselves of valuable additional inches to their swing radius. Of course HK gave as a very accurate definition and understanding of this particualr point in the form of extensor action. Will the throwout caused by CF cause the left arm to extend in the same manner i.e. a full extension of the primary lever? I know swingers employ EA just as hitters do, but will CF extend the left arm to the same degree? Is this an example of why Hogan maintained that one should reverse every natural instinct that you may have relating to the golf stroke. EA is an artificial force, Hogan used extensor action (working on his left arm for some time according to Norwood) so could this be yet another "Hogan Secret?" I'm not sure I asked a real question! I gues I'm trying to understand figure if CF/throwout maintains the radius of the primary lever or if it is largely EA? Convoluted? The Left Arm can be extented actively by "Extensor Action" or/and its own extending action, or/and passively by centripetal pull or pivot snap. I believe Mr. Hogan applied the former three. In terms of "Hogan maintained that one should reverse every natural instinct that you may have relating to the golf stroke.", I believe he means: hit the ball w/o thinking of hitting the ball, hit it straight w/o thinking of hitting it straight, hit it far w/o thinking of hitting it far, hit it high w/o thinking of hitting it high, . . . . __________________ Yani Tseng, Go!
