There have been a number of posts here praising Hogan's Five Fundamentals, so I know I'm treading on sacred ground here. But I have a couple of questions about the book.
First--I've read here and elsewhere that the swing Hogan describes isn't actually the way he swung a club. So I've always been a little reluctant to start tryinig to introduce various components without understanding which ones he did use and which he didn't. Or, is it more a matter of introducing various parts into my own swing and rejecting what doesn't seem to work?
Second--it's my understanding that Hogan's swing was definitely one-plane. Having read Hardy's Plane Truth and been intrigued by it, I'm curious as to how the one-plane swing Hardy describes differs from the Hogan's swing.
I can't decide if Hardy is a genius or I'm a fool. I've tried his one-plane swing with some success, so if Hogan's Fundamentals will complement Hardy (or vice versa), I want to work with both.
Any thoughts for a boardline heretic?
