@MiracleSwing @HomesterGolfshp Not his normal finish. The swing overall doesn’t change.
Hogan when he wanted to hit it full would straighten the left knee. When he wanted a softer shot, he maintained the knee flex
@MiracleSwing @HomesterGolfshp You need to take a closer look. In the early 1960s he finished with the left knee pretty straight. By the late ‘60s he would straighten the left knee around impact then immediately flex it. He said he did that to protect his left knee from injury.
@GreenJobsUSA1 @MiracleSwing No Lee wasn’t. Hogan in his prime had one of the best short games, including putting. You don’t dominate number of wins and Vardon trophy like Hogan did without one.
@NickRaffaele53 @MiracleSwing Jack shrunk too. So what? Why would that matter to any thinking person? Who cares how tall those legends were in there 80s? Good grief…
@NickRaffaele53 @MiracleSwing "his set up position was 'pert near straight up' as we say in Texas!"
And? Hogan's clubs were a bit shorter and flatter than standard. They fit his build and swing. Why would they fit Christo's? Attached is an analysis by Rich Hunt based on clubs at the USGA Museum:
@MiracleSwing In the playoff the wind was behind Hogan who hit the ball over the green with a 5-iron. Wind was from the right on Saturday when he hit the 2-iron or perhaps a 3-iron, the club reported by the Chicago Tribune's Charles Bartlett, which landed in front of the green and bounced on.
@MiracleSwing Fazio and Lloyd Mangrum. Fazio was in the gallery when Hogan hit the shot. Although there are many who choose to think the club was a 1-iron (including Capers at Merion) Fazio always believed it was a 2-iron, as did Hogan’s playing partner Cary Middlecoff and many others.
