How about a loaded question to kick off this board!!!
Can you describe Hogans swing? His swing is probably the most studied golfswing in the world. I would appreciate your take on it.

A description of Ben Hogan's Swing?
In one word: Powerful.
In another word: Accurate.
In an all-inclusive third: Efficient.
But it wasn't always that way. At first long and loose, his Total Motion became a Darwinian case study in the Evolution of a Golf Stroke. By the end of his career, all unnecessary frills had been stripped away. Unless something had to move, it didn't. Ben Hogan sought Golfing Perfection, and in that pursuit there was only utility. Form followed Function. Or was jettisoned.
His Hands, which early on traveled to an End Top behind his Head, ultimately found their Top at Right Shoulder High and On Plane. His Lower Body, formerly dominated by extremely active Feet and Knees, became a stable Platform from which to mount the powerful assault of his Arms and Upper Body upon the Ball. His Grip had evolved from a Turned Left Wrist and its Double Wristcock Action (Cock and Bend) to a Vertical Left Wrist and a Single Action (Wristcock Only).
In short, without the benefit of today's Swing coaches, psychologists and trainers, Ben Hogan had realized his dream: Driven by a burning desire and working only with his own God-given gifts and The Dirt, he had become a Golfing Machine. And in so doing, he lit the lamps along Golf's Pathway for future generations to follow.
That torch has now been passed, and the mission of Lynn Blake Golf is to continue the pursuit of Golfing Perfection. Most of all, we are dedicated to helping you find its application to your Game. Armed with our own burning desire and the practical, working knowledge of Homer Kelley's magnificent work The Golfing Machine, we boldly set forth on this uncharted journey.
