Thank you for posting that wonderful sequence with the gridlines.
If possible could you include one or two more prior to where they currently start? I think then the move will be more clear. By the first frame of your sequence, the move has been essentially made, the way I am understanding it.
Great post!

UPP...here are 3 extra frames in advance of the 1st one shown above....hope this helps...
question regarding page 49 at the end of the page. There is mention of impact circle with an axis 5 feet behind left foot, i dont see that in my noodle, could you explain?
I am really having fun with this book, we are in the deep frost right now in canada but indoor ranges open next week, for now, ice and snow are getting the wallup of the move, lol!

The impact circle axis is shown in Figures 11 & 12 on page 37.

yes thank you i can see that.
I just dont understand the explanation of having the axis at 5 feet behind his left foot with driver...
wait a minute, oh, the axis would be perpendicular to the lowpoint and the angled impact circle lines to left shoulder? i think i get it now, 3D not 2D.

If it's not too much trouble, can I impose on you to post a few more frames in the sequence with the grid lines; from where they currently end, to follow through.
I second that request. Those are great photos, HG.
In the other,black and white, video sequence of Hogan against a grid he looks to be sliding around on his left foot. No doubt he was swinging on a hard studio floor perhaps even in his street shoes.
That sequence you are looking at is the one Hogan demonstrated for Shells Wonderful World. VJ does not think that Hogan used the move all the time. He believes that he was fully aware of doing it, and only did it in competition. If you watch in the final credits when he is actually hitting a shot during the match it is very clear that he is using it. There are also other videos on the three disc set when Hogan is in competition where he uses it.
I think VJ analysis from the back side makes looking at Hogan's swing and I am sure many others as well quite different than what it looks as if is being done.
I have been a Hogan fan for many of years. I have not master his swing, BUT I did go from 26 hdcp to 5 hdcp in 16 months using that book. But never got better, in fact overtime I managed to lose a lot of what I had learned and executed.
Most apparent was a Sunday afternoon in GA where I was asked, been reading the Hogan book? How close do you think Hogan thought the elbows needed to be? I think Yoda thought I was working on being double jointed so I could get then to touch the entire stroke. Oh, well... those days are gone.
I am will to be in the next coming months Hogan's swing will be reviewed again and again and this time there is going to be a bit of different spin or focus than from before.
I think VJ has given us something to work on and what will be more interesting is that if he is teaching this pattern to students, to start seeing them appear and being analyzed by the so called heavies.
