The Most Important Illustration in the History of Golf

[Yoda]

A bold question, to be sure.

Any takers?

Ben Hogan's pane of glass?

There are so many great images in that book, too! The grip, the turning belt ahead of the arms....

But before Hogan, was Jones so...

Hogan's 'plane of glass' Plane illustration is arguably the most famous illustration in golf. It is also among the most erroneous. Especially when combined with the three accompanying illustrations showing the 'baseline' shift to the right during the Downstroke.

My benchmark of "important" demands that the illustration also be correct.

Next?

Do you mean this one by any chance?

Up until the one you just posted, I would have said Hogan at impact, specifically the close up of his left wrist.

but I like your post better because it gives the whole picture

Combine that with the 3 essentials, the 3 imperatives and the flying wedges and golf becomes easy to understand.

I'd throw in a supporting vote for 1-L

I think the one you put up there is hard to beat Yoda,

But if you develop it into something like this, it will be even better, IMO:



A Bobby Jones like strobe with visble hands and without the flip through impact will tell still tel a lot about the ideal impact position but also a lot about H2 get there.

Thank goodness I'm not a computer teacher!

Great, BerntR. Who else has an entry? This is fun!
