Agree with you Bucket....



For me, the feeling of swinging left is the feel associated with retaining the bend in the right wrist while staying on plane through both arms straight. Normally a thing I feel on shorter shots as I keep the club head low, beneath the handle and the hands work their way up, in (or left) and forward.

Here, I see Mr Hogan keeping his bent right wrist AFTER both arms straight.
I'm guessing a rather fullish mid to low iron with a very trapped golf ball screaming off towards the target.

Is he hitting to the right of the poor cameraman? Is he hitting a draw or a fade? Where is the plane line? Can anyone draw the plane line on this photo? TGM CSI?

I love this point of view. The real meat of the matter.
