Ben Hogan's golf shoes were custom made for him in England by the Maxwell Shoe Company. They had twelve spikes instead of the normal eleven.

The extra spike was located under the inside ball of each foot.

There was a reason for that.

Only with the feet rooted in the ground can the clubhead feel as though it is "left behind" whether it is dragged or driven downplane. Then and only then can the myriad of other things "happen" that produce solid, compressed, and predictable golf shots. Much, much, more, but linking the extremities, hands, feet, and head, well...magic can result!
