Jeff, I am not sure how to upload photos on this Forum. Call me a PC laic and you won't be far from the truth if I knew how to do it from my PC collection I'd give the evidence of my way of thinking for you.

There is a ton of photos of post-accident Hogan that support what I've written (such as e.g. the photo from Jules Alexander site to which I included the link above with). Jim McLean's version from the BH Collection is not even close to the original. Please look even at the photo you put in your post - pay special attention to where the V on the right hand grip is pointing - there is a huge difference still visible (although the Hogan's photo is of bad quality).

Before-secret Hogan wanted to deliver the clubface as open as possible since he believed it could tame his hooks. It did not work, as we all know. Post-secret, and specially post-accident Hogan appeared to do a completely reverse thing (which seemed to be totally counterintuitive) - to square the clubface earlier and maintain it square as long as possible (delayed post-impact swivel and swinging left with an angled hinge); the whole question is if you are able to do it with only left arm pulling...I do not believe it is so easy and so efficient comparing to the right forearm support while swinging the club around...

Cheers
