Relative to the pivot, the club head will then be moving away from the body so it's basically a push stroke. And the only way to keep the club head going down the line is to stay ahead with the pivot so the handle is going back in. Hogan's hand path was outside - in relative to the target line while the club head path was more or less neutral. I don't think he was of the mindset that swinging left was steering. Rather in a golf swing where the rotating pivot produces centrifugal force, swinging left actually creates centripetal force and to do so actually requires immense forearm strength. Over time, all that gripping actually creates scar tissue in the forearms which hamper feel in putting. __________________ The Singapore Slinger http://justintanggolf.blogspot.com comdpa View Public Profile Send a private message to comdpa Find all posts by comdpa
