Really got a kick out of a call last night. I gave a copy of the
"Missing Piece" to a friend of mind and we worked on it all last
week. My buddy played with his friends and hit the ball 20 Yds
further, even reached a par 5 in 2. His buddies asked about
what looked like a move to the left in his swing. He told them
that it was the "Stack and Tilt". I told him what V.J. said about
the "Stack and Tilt" and he said, "I read that, but Hogan never
told the S.O.B.s his secret and I am not about to tell them mine."
My buddy says that V.J.s bump to the right at start helped a lot.
My buddy is a fan of Homer Kelley and likes to think of the left shoulder
in terms of the #4 pressure point. The marked dowel helped a lot
to get a picture of the address, low point and left shoulder.
...V.J.s bump to the right at start helped a lot...
No offense, but your Bud needs to look at Hogan's swing just prior to his accident in '48 when he was dominating the Tour. He'd see that Hogan was in near continous motion from waggle to follow thru and actually triggered his backswing start with a very slight inward move of the right knee after he set his feet. It does give the illusion of his right hip moving or bumping onto his right leg. From there Hogan turns onto his rear leg but never straightens it.
I received my book last week and have been doing the drills since then. Today, I went to the range to try out "the move" and I love it. Getting into the recommended position at the top greatly simplified the downswing for me and produced a crisp and centered rotation through the ball.
I am pleased with the results and recommend the book. The drills are very easy to follow.
