I believe Ben Hogan revealed practically everything he knew in his 'Five Lessons' book. If anyone studies that book, applies the techniques, and practices diligently, they will learn to play a very respectable game of golf. I know it's true because I did it. I started out knowing absolutely nothing about golf, and today, at age 71, after a triple bypass and colon cancer, I shoot in the 70's from the white tees, and I owe it to Mr. Ben Hogan.

[@norman-gregory]

Great testimony. Good health too You, and keep it the short Grass!

Ben Hogans swing....hands down my favourite of all time.

[@PaulFurber]

You're doing a very special thing here Christo, keeping the memory of Ben Hogan alive in this way. I worship his golf swing.

[@steveludwig4200]

I have a BIG problem with this dude. He is more interested in chopping interviews into 5 minute segmants and hyping up his channel that getting the stories out, There are so many other channels providing MORE and better content..

[@s2pacific]

Ben's swing is my favourite of all time.

[@patc1309]

I caddied for Mr Player last summer outside of Philadelphia. He was doing push-ups on the driving range before we teed off...at 84! Shot 73 on a very difficult course from the regular men's tees. The man is a beast and one of the most sincere genuine people i ever met. I was amazed at how fit, funny, and alert he was. A living legend! Congrats on the interview!

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

He's one of the greatest men I've ever met in my life.

[@Sevemac]

I’m sorry to disagree…..he’s all about himself….”look at me.” He once agreed with apartheid then when Mandela came through he was Nelson’s best friend, according to Mr Self Promoter. No I’m not an admirer. However I do respect his opinion of Hogan who was a real seeker of perfectionism and not a self publicist. I realise this comment will not get any likes but please examine how he promotes himself and PSG eg his son at the Masters 😢

[@patc1309]

[@mrsmartypants_1]

How awesome. I walked beside Gary Player on several occasions as a little kid who was crazy for junior golf competition. And the aging Sam Snead. Could stand within 10 ft of Slamm’n Sam hitting from the rough. No marshals around. The most beautiful fluid effortless swing of pure contained power I ever saw. I was in 7th heaven. Sam like numerous tour pros back then had this most amazing ball flight off persimmon woods and balata balls that are impossible to imitate today. The balls would start out like cruise missiles buzzing 20 feet above the ground flying level and then at the 200 yd mark would begin to rise in a beautiful trajectory. Things of dreams. Western Open (Chicago area) and the Milwaukee Open. The odd thing was Gary had a very small gallery and Sam had virtually none by then - about 12 people milling around following him. 12 people who knew greatness. Something else of note with Mr. Player - he was so ahead of his time in terms of nutrition, health, and exercise. The man is SO HEALTHY and in shape compared to all his now feeble and dead compatriots.

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

He’s still sharp as a tack at 85!

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

Thanks, Daniel!

[@shrimboy7492]

The secret is understanding two vital elements in the golf swing. One, u must create weight on the club face during the downswing. Two, u must learn to compress the golf ball instead of hitting the golf ball. To create weight on the club face, take a couple of practice swing with just one arm to feel the club face getting heavier and heavier on the way down. Do it on the left arm and right arm. Then try both arms together. Experiment until u find the right swing speed that create the heaviest feel on the club face. U will discovered that this swing speed feels a lot slower than normal. U will understand why everybody keep telling u to swing slower. But swinging slower without creating this weight won't work either. The other element is compression. There are many good videos on youtube.

The thumbnail of Hogan for this video shows Hogan in a side bend position that looks like David Duval. I'd guess David Duval was a Hogan emulator, but to some extent, aren't we all?

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

I did a swing analysis of Duval that’s very interesting 🤔

[@peterbulloch4328]

They say Imbe Park and Jason Dufner have either Moe Norman and Ben Hogan swings, can't remember which one is which?

[@davida.4933]

The man who may give the most competent analysis of whether Hogan or Moe Norman was the best ball striker is Lee Trevino. I hope you could at least do a phone interview of him on this never ending question. I would hope Trevino could go into some depth on this and of course much depends upon the definition of "best ball striker".

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

I hope to. Gary Player told me Trevino was the second best.

Read a story where sam Snead carried the par 4 290yards...with his driver ,where he says he was just trying to hit with only 80percent of his strength to keep it in play....and it was so flush that ever Byron nelson commented that he has have never seen anyone hit the ball that pure and far ever....mind you the ball used to go at least 150yards less than today in those times....so to hit a 300yards drive was unheard in those days...you don’t win 82 pga tour tournaments by fluke....Sam Snead was a beast...When it comes to bombing it ,like Bryson is doing today to other players....Sam was longer than hogan any day by good 20yards....These guys would be as long as Bryson...if they would have played with modern equipment.

If Gary did not have to face Jack, Arnie, Lee, Weiskopf, Miller, Casper, Watson, Seve and other greats he would have as many majors as Tiger. He only needed 6 more.

Name the guys Tiger beat to win his majors and tell me where they ended up in golf history.

[@williamelliott3778]

@@MiracleSwingExperience In his eyes and face--they look similar--

[@MarkEnriquez1971]

Ben Hogan has a slightly bent left elbow at the top of the backswing, WAY past parallel, lifts the left heel, all things they don’t teach now. Point being like Gary Player said “ A lot of what they’re teaching today is a bunch of hogwash”. Everyone has their own swing. The only part that is the same for all great ball strikers is how they execute through the hitting zone. All pros basically look the same through that zone. But look at John Rahm’s swing compared to Hogan’s, completely opposite. Rahm barely has a backswing. So the basics of the hitting zone is what we all need to focus on. There is no way I could make my backswing look like Rahm’s, I have to be content that I go past parallel and strive to make improvements in the hitting zone.

[@billy38010]

Gary Player called Ben Up and told Mr. Hogan that He was having trouble with his Putter,...Ben asked Gary, whose Clubs do you Play,...Gary said, Spaldings,...Ben said, then call Mr. Spalding Up and ask Him,...and Ben hung Up.

I live the OTT method of swinging the golf club. However most of your videos, we are watching you hitting golf balls. If you want more golfers to use the OTT why don’t you show the audience how far inside should you swing the golf club, on the downswing show where your hands should be in order to incorporate the OTT.

Only one to win 5X in a year on tour in years of at least 10 starts 7 straight times (1941-1953, 7th year only 6 starts) .
