The most obvious differences:

A much stronger left hand grip in "Power Golf".

There is less Pivot participation in "5 Fundamentals". For example, the left heel doesn't get nearly lifted as much at the Top.

In "5 Fundamentals", his hands stop slightly above the Right shoulder at the Top, as opposed to being above the head.

The extent of the Double Shift (10-7-C) is much less in "5 Fundamentals", almost like a Single Shift (10-7-B).

Was it because of the car accident, or was it because he wanted greater control? Or both? Anyhow, it was with the "5 Fundamentals" swing that Hogan played his most memorable golf.
