Ed,

My statement that 10-2-A & 10-18-B with Circle path was just to say that it's compatible. I didn't mean to imply that it's recommended.

Hogans 10-2-A & 10-18-B released earlier than a "Snap Release". Elbow Plane.

Hogan didn't allow his upper left arm to move away from his chest. His Pivot compensated by Locating his Right Elbow further forward on-plane for Release and Impact but not Follow-through. Hence, the slight amount of Throw-Away we often observe.

We'll never know if Hogan treated the Left Arm and Clubshaft as a Primary Lever and the Left Shoulder as a Hinge Pin. But it seems, after watching about every video of him that I could find, that he used his Head as the Center of which everything Rotated. ??

I'm just pulling your check rein D.

But by way of an apology and If you'll allow this Canuck to paraphrase your favourite son. "Perhaps I didnt calibrate my words quite as well as I could have. How about I crack another Molson while you get on with the teachable moment".

So Hogan:
-wasnt a true swinger?
-was "swinging left"? A manipulation of the entire clubs orbit to the inside. I read somewhere that Hogan was always trying to get his buddy Jackie Burke to keep his left arm on his chest longer through the ball. Remember the Ed Sullivan drill where Hogan wants you to attach your elbows to your side.
-triggered his release early? A manipulation of the release point. Any idea what type of throw he employed?
-was actively Hinging. A manipulation of the clubface.


Why did Homer say the 10-18-B was restricted to true Centrifugal Force swings. I get that it is Throwaway prevention in that it is the opposite horizontal wrist motion, but I dont get why you couldnt do it and apply a conscious hinge action, clubface manipulation. Maybe I dont fully understand what constitutes a true swing, I think it to be a CF induced Throwout with an unbridled Horizontal Hinge resulting. I dunno.
