OK . . . Player has some good points IMO. Not sure about that whole supination deal . . . . If you had that down the line sequence of both of them and the face on matching you could really see the differences.

1. Some of that elbow away from the body is the plane Eldrick is on compared to Hogan. . . . so that's a piece of it . . . but if you look at Hogan he ain't "lifty" at all. He stays pretty much close to the elbow plane the whole time.

2. Tiger will shift the plane angle dynamically thru the ball (handle raises up) . . . Face vector and path vector get all jacked up. he can hit it anywhere as a result of the disruption in the #3 angle . . . I think anyhow.

3. If you look at the foot work no question that Hogan's footwork is MUCH better . . . the reason is his hip action. If you had the face on of these to moves you'd see that Hogan's hips are going forward LONGER than Eldrick. If the hips spin then the right foot is going to pop up. Tiger's iron swing is much more solid . . . more Hoganish. That driver swing has MUCHO speed and lots of moving parts for the amount of speed. If you watch where club exits Hogan's body I think it would probably be much different than Tiger. Not sure but would probably be much lower.

4. They both do that archy deal Hogan just does it later.

5. The thing to learn here . . . HOGAN HAD AN AMAZING AND EFFICIENT GOLF SWING FOR THE PLANE ANGLE HE WAS ON. Watch how well his hand path "matches up." Beautiful . . . footwork . . . beautiful. Not many swings stack up . . . even the best player to ever lace 'em up can match Mr. Hogan's move . . . not even close.

Overall I think Player's analysis is pretty dang good.
