[pistol]

Pistol - that video by Golfbulldog shows that Hogan starts to release at that time point, but release is not completed until impact. What's the contradiction?

Seems to me Jeff you put a video/picture to suit your purpose but how come plenty of other vids/pict of Hogan show other results

HH produces a low draw because the clubface is constantly closing during impact, while AH produces a half-layback situation (halfway between closing and layback) and that produces a a small degree of slice spin due to a small degree of compression leakage.

Jeff you are stating basics..lots of other factors determine ballflight..trackman!!


Where does HK state that using the elbow plane requires an earlier release of PA#3, and what is meant by an earlier release?

somewhere ..surely you got all copies ..read
In this swing video of Tiger Woods, he is on the elbow plane in the late downswing and he has no problem with a late release of PA#3.

Cant be bothered watching the video Jeff cause no comparison to Hogan and he had way less #3 to release and more cf position usually


You wrote-: "What about what Venturi said of Hogan and what he said in the locker room that its elbow to elbow..inferring he paints a dot on the inside of the arm/elbow joint and points it to the sky."

I don't know what you are actually describing and I also don't know what point you are trying to make.

Seems pretty obvious what Venturi said ..check out the ed sullivan show


You wrote-: "Consider the downswing is over in aprox .3 sec and it takes the brain .2 sec approx to send the signal to the arms/hands would that not make some sense that Hogan actively supinated his left elbow during the downswing which would in turn initiate the #3 release?"

I presume that you made a typo when you stated "elbow" rather than forearm. One cannot supinate the elbow. However, one can perform a supinatory left forearm action. Why should Hogan's left forearm supinatory action need to be active? What's wrong with passive - activated by an assertive torso rotation through the impact zone?

No there is no typo error Jeff but i know what you are getting at in terms of medical function ..however Hogan was smarter than you cause he had some #2 left while triggering #3 so his clubface rotation was limited
