Hogan in Mexico

Here's some stop action captures of Mr. Hogan showing arm positions at setup and impact for two swings...Yoda may have some comments

Seeing this footage of Mr Hogan swinging with a cigarette in his mouth reminds me of old George Knudson story. Knudson was a smoker too and did much the same, even wrote of it as drill in his book. Although he switched the cigarette for a pencil.

All you teachers out there will get a kick out of how he used this drill during a lesson. It was a great way to get a student to keep his head up OR shut up if he or she tended to talk too much.

I asked hg to extract these stills from the video so I could use them as illustrations for a post. Thanks, hg!

I'm just in now from a long and happy day at Cuscowilla and will post tomorrow.

Look forward to your comments Yoda. Interesting that his shoulders are not open as much at impact as is written about in analysis of Mr Hogan's swing.Looks like release is down and out not releasing left bending plane lines

It is always great to watch Hogan and any of the greats practice. I think it is especially practice that can teach us so much. I have read others say, and I agree, that because Hogan was such a shot maker, any one individual swing cannot be taken as evidence of what he did all the time.

I'm still looking forward to Yoda's post on this.

Thank you so much.
Do you have any idea what the music is in the background? That would be great stuff to listen to at the range.

Sorry Jerry, Im still working on the high waisted slacks for another guy.

Silly goose. I like the calm portrayed in the music and the tempo must be right around 60-64. I think that would be very nice on the practice tee to help settle one's nerves, if at all needed.
Peaceful.

You promised you wouldn't mention it!!!!!!!!!

Jerry, most phones have a built in recorder this days, just record the tune using your phone then upload it to your ipod via your computer.
