  1. Club moves back..right leg straightens..right hip rotates to the rear and forward..LEFT KNEE moves backwards whilst HAWKING the ball of foot with foot rotated out about fifteen degrees..practice and maintain good spinal tilt with cigarette aligned with right knee. This will give you the sensation that you are about to fall over if you do not straighten the left leg..So rotate the LEFT KNEE to the left and straighten it whilst pushing the heal into the ground. Good set up at address maintain tlit Hawk left ball, rotate left knee, push heal into ground Voila… Hogan is using a spinal reflex called the extensor reflex..When you trip with one leg the other extends to save you from falling over. The rest is just practice

  2. Rear elbow is key to good fun repeatable golf.it should be the initiation key to backswing an downswing.(tip)before using a club.try anything without using your rear elbow in your motion.sweeping,boxing,swimming,batting.etc then try starting that same motion leading with rear elbow n feel how your body flows.hope this helps fairways n greens lookout

  3. At the top of the backswing, what would happen if Mr Hogan were to lift his entire left foot off the ground? I'm guessing he would fall toward his target. Did he find a way to automate the downswing and weight transfer?
