Remember, everybody, this is one of Ben Hogan's now classic deliberate 'slow motion' swings, much like those he demonstrates in his clip in our Gallery. See the Hogan Home Video at http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/gallery...ry.php?cat=516
To understand the broad boundaries of the 12-Section Motion, see Chapter Eight of The Golfing Machine.
True - I would add his "magic of the right forearm" getting it on plane is equal or better than any video I have seen. His right forearm gets on plane early in the downwing and just stays there. Homer chose "magic" for a reason.
Hogan did this since he was 16 years old (maybe earlier) though mb6606. Have you seen Hard Case from Texas?

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
