[O.B.Left]

This is an interesting pic.....people use Hogan as the poster boy for accumulator lag.....this pic certainly doesn't support that ..... Also where is the shaft lean??? I know this wasn't hit off turf but you can find other pics like this. Also look at the layback off the face as supported by the location of the handle. Also with the amount of angle that hogan loads and the lack of lean delivered to the ball.....hogan may have had an aiming point AFT of the ballot achieve this pic

Welcome back Bucket.

I've been looking at the photo for a while , wondering about that look. I work in film and have a kinda weird theory on why it looks funny. Here goes:

-its shot in a studio , super high speed with strobe lights, etc .

-they had him set up on a tall riser so they could take some low angle shots but put him on sand instead of artificial turf.

-his first few shots saw a tremendous plume of sand following the ball and obscuring the view of the face and ball.

- To remedy this the props man created a super high tee out of sand , old school .....it can be seen in some other shots from this session. Mr Hogan did his part by taking out all of the Down he could by playing the ball forward and then
swung the clubhead as opposed to swinging the hands.

-this is a "clean pick off" and maybe the only time Hogan would have hit a long iron tee'd an inch or more high.

I dunno.........just a theory. Sure doesnt look like his normal procedure, Release. D, said it was Random Sweep Release too so that'd be consistent with Swinging the Clubhead on the way down.
