Ben Hogan's Magical Device

[drewitgolf]

A new Hogan Book just came out entitled, "Ben Hogan's Magical Device" by Ted Hunt. Hunt holds degrees in Physiology and Human Kinetics, and a doctorate in History.

While I haven't had a chance to read it, I skimmed through it. I believe the magical device is what we refer to here as the Power Package (chapter 6 in TGM) and corresponds with what Ken Venturi said Hogan told him his secret was.

So will this one get added to your vast collection?

As far as I know I have every book and edition written by Hogan or where he is the main subject of the book. The entire book collection as well as golf collectibles continues to grow to the point where I may need a bigger office.

I just started the new book "Ben Hogan's Magical Device". Although he doesn't mention TGM by name, author Ted Hunt fires a shot accross TGM bow in Chapter 3 entitled, "The General Problem"....
"They write lengthy, tortuous books on the subject - books that would cross a physicist's eyes. Such tomes need an engineer's dictionary for reference, and have been held up as the major factor responsible for destroying the careers of at least two professional tour players, leaving the once successful competitior talking to himself about the lost or stressed levers when he, before all others, would admit that his mind should be absorbed with the image of his target and not the mechanics of the swing.

In the words of the Immortal Bugs Bunny: "He don't know us very well, do he?"

Are you sure you have all books that Hogan is main topic?
Go to Amazon.com and look up One Plane Cut Swing "Hogan's Secret Angle"...Just came out late April Sorry to toot my own horn but you brought it up.

Thanks Burley. I have it. I even have fiction books on Hogan, like "The Caddy that Knew Ben Hogan" and "Follow the Wind" (Hogan playing golf in someones dream) as well as "Ben and Buster" (the story of Hogan's relationship with a dog from Shady Oaks CC). No comment from Bucket is necessary on the latter. If anyone comes up with any other obscure Hogan books, please let me know.
