In regard to Mr Hogan's compensated driver swing. Here is my personal theory: Cavaet emptor.

-Hogan could do anything and make it work. He was a Master.

- if you or most people were to attempt to hit Mr Hogans driver, the ball would probably not get more than 10' off the ground in height.

-that he and others had/have perfected a compensated swing for such shots. A foregoing of balance in the name of increased launch angle. Nothing new here folks. You see it all the time from hackers to pros. All of this could be avoided with a move of the ball forward in the stance while still keeping the head centered for most launch angles. All except the sky rocket launch angles of the long ball hitters or the cut the corner , over the trees shot etc.

-that yesterdays golfers would have on the whole been far better served hitting brassies (2 woods) instead of drivers. Today we see driver lofts going up, as they should. I suggest that people try them and give your swing time to adjust to the added loft. If you're used to an underlofted driver you may have a built in, unbeknownst to you, head back/shoulder tilt compensation that makes these higher lofted drivers seem weird at first. Give them time to come down in launch angle while your head moves towards its centered position. Jeff Hull has a 12 degree driver I think, Yoda an 11 but their ball flight is not sky high, in the fairway probably, but not sky high.
