For a golf swing that is CONSISTENT, provides a flat left wrist, compression, lag and more. Steve's EUREKA GOLF SWING is now being implemented in 52 countries taking the golfers game to a place that allows the body to turn, the flight to straighten and compression to become a reality.
The starting place is the "iron swing series" offering the set of the Eureka Golf Swing canes and a step by step tutorial of the full action.
REMEMBER: as Steve says, "There is a difference between opening your stance and aiming left".

I had a lot of success using this drill with beginners at the driving ranges I taught in San Antonio back in the '80's. People who had never played golf at all began hitting crisp little draws with a 7-iron, and I never stopped thanking Hogan for coming up with this amazing concept - the man was brilliant.

[@Breeze430]

So glad you speak Hogan!

[@petethomas7164]

Great stuff Steve. Hopefully all those coming to your stuff , your website , lessons and tips, realise just how so valuable they are...whether based on Mr Hogan's comments, or not,....all your clips are top quality, and worthy of serious attention and application. Some of the best available.

[@petethomas7164]

Actually THE best....I like Rick Shields, Coach is pretty good, Saguto ofcourse! , and Danny Maude isw great.....but the Daddy.....is....you know the answer! Steve is King,.....

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Thanks very much Peter. 🙏🏻

[@robertroadenbaugh5904]

Thank you for breaking down Ben Hogan. Your best lesson yet.

[@ejcarey6679]

This is magic! Thanks for reminding us of Mr. Hogan’s genius.

[@garydodd441]

Hi Steve. If you want to see Hogan demonstrate this drill just youtube search "Ben Hogan five lessons training exercises". You can see him do and explain the drill. It's from a 1950's tv show he did.

[@rafaelvega7328]

Mr Johnson I click this episode on and KZbin and all I got was your voice I would have loved to have seen the pictures of the your lesson but even just listened to your voice I got a lot so I want to thank you I mean I tried where you were to or explaining and and and it does feel great it does feel great you know thank you so much love all your instructions you have a great day

[@martyndines2797]

Another great drill Steve, Ben Hogan certainly was the master of golf. I remember an old Nick Faldo video tape he used to put a towel tucked under the tops of the arms, which I am assuming will give the same “tight” feeling. 😊

[@ukejon]

The Golfing Gospel! Thanks for posting.

[@Alandale45]

Thank you, Steve. The drill works because it is backed by some mechanical principles explained in an interesting book about Hogan's sixth secret

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Thanks Segun👍

[@giii7599]

There was no secret.

[@williammason49]

Just followed your Hogan practice lesson played today ball striking was Spot on will stick to this lesson thank you Steve

[@brucejones6552]

Great video/drills , Hogan is a golf Legend.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Sure is Bruce✅

[@iannuttall4644]

This looks so simple!! Can’t wait to try it out

[@albucher1477]

Great exercise! Great fun. Cracked me up. It’s great to have fun while we iMprove! Thanks Steve. Great lesson!

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Thanks Al👍

[@irishlad2326]

Literally just watched this this morning and took it out to the drivingrange. Love it, my short chips have some lovely high ark going now and good strike. Very excited about this feel, even got my gf who is second time ever with a club in hand to feel the lower body directing the swing and some results too

[@hellequin911]

This is great! Can you give another lesson on how to get to the top from the half backswing?

[@paulboyd8449]

Hi Steve Thank you for running through Ben Hogan’s drill but I would really appreciate it if you could run through it again with the driver. I’m hoping that it would will be just as easy. I find that the extra length of the driver makes it so much more difficult to keep on plane. I shall look forward to your reply.

[@valeroush2407]

Nice session my friend nice

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Cheers Vale👍

[@adriantwiss600]

Any thoughts whether this would benefit a 65 year old man of slight build? As such a specimen I feel the need for the assistance of the leverage created by the swinging of the arms. Thanks

[@stevenzunich]

thanks for interpreting hogan...his writing is very dry so it was good to see you figure it out then demonstrate!

[@markdriskell2232]

I use this drill to but with a three wood !!

[@ianmarshall8470]

Again, I thinned some shots, as I tried to hit at the ball, with the wrists, to gain distance, lost in the half swing. I think this resulted in a "scooping" action, hence the thin.

[@djelalhassan7631]

Great

[@robpottergolf]

Oh you know I’m using this on the driving range this week. Cheers for this vid mate 👍 And how good is Peebles looking in the Autumn sun btw?

[@harrycaul2494]

Thanks for the video Steve. I know it doesn't say in that text, but what kind of ratio of weight are you on front/back feet throughout that drill?

[@ianmarshall8470]

Interesting, I've been doing just this, for several weeks now and it's surprising how well one strikes the ball. I've tried to allow the wrists to hinge in a natural way, with no effort to hit at the ball.

[@tacticaltruth8118]

Steve search out Ben Hogan on the Ed Sullivan show, he does this drill. It is absolutely amazing to watch.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Will do

[@v4du]

Go to KZbin and type in Ben Hogan on Ed Sullivan show. He does the drill there.

[@petecross22]

Absolutely correct Robert…..and here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXLQgaiwnKeLe68

[@tigertaylor1327]

Dose this not make you take the club back on the inside

[@djdibibar516]

If you notice, tour players very often do their practice swing waist to waist, might be channeling Ben Hogan?

[@waynetrinier4654]

Just wondering what clubs you currently play?

[@stevejohnstongolf]

I’ll do a what’s in the bag video soon.

[@artisaprimus6306]

Golf can be so frustrating. One swing can be perfect and you hit the ball in the sweet spot. You don't feel any vibration in your hands and the ball flies away. The very next swing you did a hole in the ground. It's just not like other sports.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Play a few holes with only half swings and note your consistency. Work up from there👍

[@kirkclements4893]

Problem - 5 lessons description of the back-swing says the hips turn last and are restricted from turning until the turning shoulders force the hips to turn - pgs 70 & 71

[@whenmullet2674]

This is a drill not a swing. Big difference.

[@kirkclements4893]

@@whenmullet2674 I understand the purpose of the drill is to train the body to correctly get the downswing - but it is also training an incorrect backswing - thus "Problem"

[@whenmullet2674]

@@kirkclements4893 I guess when Tiger does his stick his butt out 2 feet on a downswing or makes an overly inside out practice swing those are problems too. I wish I had Mr Hogan and Woods' problems.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

This is a drill.

[@kirkclements4893]

@@stevejohnstongolf I am not saying the drill is bad or good - I just think that being aware of the "problem" is better than not being aware of the "problem" - Every drill is an exaggeration of some part of the swing to focus awareness.

[@rogermoores9416]

The body gets out of the way to facilitate the initial movement, the arm swing.

[@carllivesey5224]

Hogan was the daddy 👍

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Sure was Carl✅

[@romeez9196]

What kind of pants are those? They are nice

[@garthpickersgill9501]

…..and if you soften the wrists you will experience the natural lag in the club…..

[@eastcoastuk1120]

Thumbed up great video. i I live south you live north. I would love to come for a proper lesson but Distance is not on. Great ideas but online not for me . TOO BLOODY thick that way. sorry Steve . I will save up from my 183 pound pension.. Might take a while though. Gas, Electric, Council tax, Fuel, etc. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN IS IT.

[@wedgepitcher]

Yes okay, sorry but that was it. Basically, 80% of all golf swing approaches can go to waste. Just follow these steps like a command until you start having nightmares about it, then you are done with the golf swing and can move on to other parts of the game.

[@suecobandito8954]

Embrace the OTT.

[@johnrussell1202]

I don’t think you will hit the ball out of your shadow that way Steve 🥴

[@keviniwankow8294]

Today Hogan couldn't make it through the Q School
