[Yoda]

Ben wanted three right hands because ideally he wanted more pivot speed which was ultimately sensed by the right hand as lag pressure.

Ben Hogan has written (and demonstrated on film

) that he keyed on the Hips to begin his Downstroke.

"This is the first movement . . . there!"

However, he correctly viewed this Hip Turn (and its Action) as means to an end and not the end in itself.

"Then . . . you release at the bottom."

Rewinding in TGM-speak:

However, he correctly viewed this Hip Turn (10-14-A/Standard/Free Turn with a Weight Shift in both directions) and its Action (10-15-B/Delayed/Shoulders lead back; Hips lead down) as means (Right Shoulder Acceleration / 8-7) to an end (Hand Acceleration / 8-8; Clubhead Acceleration / 8-9); and ultimately, Ball Acceleration / 8-10); and not the end in itself.

The Body (Zone 1 / Pivot) and the Arms (Zone 2 / Power) are allies in the war against Clubhead Inertia, but they have different assignments. The Body serves as the Axis of the Centrifugal Motion, and in the initial stages of the Downstroke, Transports and Accelerates the Arms. Ultimately, though, it is the Arms that deliver the real Power.

In simple, the long hitters have the God-given ability to swing their Arms very fast. And the faster the intended Arm Swing, the faster must be the enabling Pivot. Ben Hogan possessed these twin capabilities, and as a result, even at 130 pounds, he was lightning fast through the hitting area and extremely long. In his book, Golf Secrets Exposed, here's what Bill Mehlhorn had to say about Hogan's arm swing:

"I played a round with him when he was first starting out and talked to him and said, 'No matter what you hear on the tour, don't let anybody ever change your arm swing.' He had the best arm swing of anybody playing. He's never changed it."

At Start Down, said Hogan in Five Lessons:

"Turn your hips back to the left. There must be enough lateral motion to transfer the weight to the left foot."

"The movement of the hips inaugurates a whole chain of actions."

This simultaneous 'turn and lateral motion' -- more definitively, Homer Kelley's 'slide with delayed turn' (10-14-B) http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/gallery...ben_hogan2.mpg) -- 'tilts the Axis' (the spine per 7-12 and 7-14) and enables the Right Shoulder to remain On Plane (10-13-D).

After that, maximum distance demands a fast arm swing. Again quoting Hogan: ". . . I think of only two things: starting the hips back and then hitting just as hard as I can with the upper part of my body, my arms and my hands, in that order."

With or without the Hand Action Accumulators -- #2 (Left Wrist Cock and Uncock) or #3 (Left Hand Turn and Roll) . . .

There is no substitute.
