A really nice look at Ben Hogan's swing. The position of the left leg as he changes direction and starts his downswing is something to emulate.

He is trash! Can't bomb it 380 and such a good putter. B.Willie

Hogan fantastic ball striker. But we are seeing the best to ever do it currently. Rory was bombing permisson drivers 286 yards the other day. How come Nicklaus could only hit it 260? Might just be the ball but its impressive.

I used to have a Ben Hogan persimmon driver from the 70's that was pretty great. Very small but maybe best drive was 260-265. When I switched to metal I picked up 25-30 yards on best drive. One of my best friends had an old 2 wood that was both rare and bigger than 99% of the drivers. I would borrow it on occasion and to this day no other club I ever hit had the feel of that club when struck pure. The best driver for distance I ever owned was a gimmick type club made by the Woods Brothers out of Texas. It was a cork-filled golden maple wood driver with a plastic face with a huge 54" graphite shift. It bent like a bow and arrow when I swang it. Once I found the correct tempo to control ball flight for straight shots off the tee, I started hitting it 285-325 and was at the peak of my game somewhere around the early 90's. Got my handicap down to a 7.8 If I stepped on a course today, I would shot 40 over par.

When I started golfing again in 2019 or 2020 my handicap was sky high. Always have deep respect for the guys with great swings that dont have to play very often. One of my old college teammates just rolls out of bed, shoots 75 even if he hasn't played in 9 months. I lose my timing if I dont play for a few weeks. Thats the difference between a good swing and a great one. Its always there and doesnt necessarily require alot of play to be good.

The biggest advancement in clubs is the enlarged faces for more forgiveness and not the horrible results on old blade irons when you miss. Cavity backed balanced clubs made a huge advancement for amateurs.
I would only hit a pure shot off my old Hogan blades about 3-4% of the time. It still is the most incredible feel. No cavity back club comes close to a pure blade strike. Problem was they were so ****ing hard to hit, miss hits were ugly as shit, and the worst was trying to muscle a 5 or 6 iron out of deep rough. I could NEVER get good contact. Lastly, hitting a 2 or 3 old tiny blade iron was the most difficult thing to do. Maybe a good strike was only 1 per thousand for me. Hated it and used a 5 wood whenever possible. Hybrids and cavity backed clubs to replace the 1-4 irons were a huge help for all amatuer golfers.

So my 8 and 10 year old's made it to KC in the sub regional drive chip and putt. 10 year old ended up finishing 5th there, he's the better player but had a bad lag putt that killed his score.
8 year old won so we go to Castle Pines in Colorado in September for the super regional. A win there and we're off to Augusta national. |

If he makes it to Augusta and they think I'm not hitting a putt or a ball on the range they're high off their ass. |

Nicklaus hit one 341 at the PGA long drive in the early 60s. Dude could absolutely move it unlike any elite player, even Tiger.

I realize they are playing for millions but holy cow how long must you take.

I'm going to be upgrading my driver from the Callaway Epic Flash Sub Zero to the Titleist TSR3. My friends tell me you can't have a driver head that is older than 5 years old.
