Hey all, I just joined the forum after looking up hogan's foot position in relation to the ball.
I've been experimenting w opening my stance and getting my toes pointing more to the target side (left toe more so than the right). I started consciously making my left hip clear WAY before my hands and shoulders and I started to get that feeling jamesongarnett2 is talking about, I think. Really feels like the the speed and the release happen a few feet past the ball and left. My hands feel like there almost shoulder high on my follow through by the time I realize I've hit the ball!
I've only been trying this on two range sessions and will work on it today. Along with foot/ball position and early hip clearing, I focused on getting the back of my left hand to point more toward the sky, or "laying off the club" while I bring the butt of the club into the right side of my knee cap. The way to describe it is that it feels like Furyk's swing prior to impact. I feel like my whole body except for my head is facing the target, my right shoulder, hands, right hip and elbow are stacked while the club shaft is still behind me. Been hitting lower trajectory straight-slight fade shots and have to change foot/ball position to get a draw.
jamesongarnett2- I would really like to see video of your swing to compare. I haven't videod my swing for more than a year since I've gone much flatter but now maybe a good time see the differences.
