First off, my great thanks to VJ for writing the book.
Considering this thread started around when my son was born, I'm not surprised I missed it, but I'm sure glad that I had a moment to order the book and video recently.
In a previous post, VJ said:
"Five Lessons now makes perfect sense.....at least for me."
And I could not agree more! Me too. As a life long student of the game, I've studied Hogan's Five Lessons with complete focus on trying to make his move, but could never quite get it. Over the years, I've had times where I could feel the things Hogan described, but never the whole package.
Having just read the book and watched the video, I went out this morning and hit a bucket. Mind you, I've had very little time for golf in the last 18 months, so the few rounds I've played have been less than ideal.
Right away I knew "The Final Missing Piece" was dead on correct. I have never felt PP#4 load so solidly, or the swinger's throw out so effortlessly.
For reasons VJ describes in the book, I too was prone to the push. I've always tended to hit a draw, and while I can hit fades on demand, I never felt comfortable.
Today I hit some of the best, most efficient fades I've ever hit. Best of all, the 'sizzle' and 'crack' is back at impact.
Rifle shots.
I think Schlee did the move, but perhaps didn't understand it, or couldn't articulate it. Others were close (Austin, Armour).
Thanks VJ. I can't wait to get this move on tape and see if what I am feeling is as close to Hogan's move as I think it is.
Your work deserves recogntion to say the least. Every copy of 5 Lessons should come with your video!

I hope when you do tape the move you can also share it with us & post it...would love to sequence that one.
