OK so I dug out Hogan's book, which incidentlally I haven't read for over 15 years. I think I have the fundamantals of the grip, stance and takeaway basically right, although I am still tinkering. What sorta blew my mind was this suppination gig, his secret.
I understand the "high wrist" impact area and the benefits of "ball then turf" striking. I also see the benefits of staying with the ball through the hitting zone longer. I did find the chapter a bit light on how to actually achieve it. I also found it hard to grasp how suppination improves swing speed.
Dave. I know you're a big Hogan fan. Any drills to try and promote this release at impact. I don't want to screw up my swing chasing this goal, but I know I am a bit shallow and flip my wrists (pronate) a bit at impact and I would like to get an extra 5-10mph in my swing speed (currently ~100mph).
This is an interesting subject to me, so any help or observations are very welcome.
btw here's me at impact...
