The center of gravity of the body must stay in one place throughout the swing. This is, if a line is drawn through the nose or head to the ground, the head must stay in that position throughout the swing. Difficult you say, impossible, ridiculous you say. Why look how Babe Ruth leaned into the ball when he hit it. Pictures of the Babe verify the fact that he did use his legs with tremendous effect and his head remained in one place throughout his murderous assault of the baseball and golf ball.
The head must remain in one position (center of gravity of the body) throughout the swing. Imagine that...
Has anyone ever heard anything on the authenticity of this letter? I thought I had heard before that it wasn't truly written by Hogan. Of course the rumor could have simply been started for fun. If it is true that Hogan had a 180 IQ as someone alleged, this is not likely the writing style of a genius.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
