I go for the old Pros . Ben Hogan . In all aspects it is by far the purest . Several players have adapted their swing to his and a lot of Golf teachers still teach his swing . The dynamics involved are simple , what a true swing should be .

Years ago, the back shop had an old poster with Hogan in mid-swing. I loved it. There was such a mystique to him and his game.

    • I mean, I do slide my hips like 7 inches towards the target before impact. PGA Tour average is like 3 inches. I’m not Scottie Scheffler who can get away with it. 🤣 He slides a ton.  For me, I have to feel like I basically just turn. Though, I’m probably over exaggerating a bit with that one video because I’m really trying to push off with the left leg which sends the hip backwards. Ideally, I would be able to get my weight over to the outside of my left foot at impact and into the finish. It’s probably OK that I can slide about 7 inches as long as it’s like only three by impact.
    • Day 32 (9 Apr 26) - Grandson is on spring break- puts in to play 9 at our home course.  Used it to work on top of horizon target point for drives and approaches…i.e. pick landing zone (fairway, green) , an intermediate target point and finally what standout feature do I want to hit “over” on the horizon (tall pine, home top, flag pole).    Better l-r dispersion w/5 of 7 drives in the short grass.  Nice little addition to the pre-shot routine. 
    • I managed to get the full afternoon to watch (Pacific time, so the ESPN broadcast began at noon).  I just saw the first shot I feel like commenting on:  Adam Scott's tee shot on #16 was really good, especially after having what might be the worst kind of Maltese Falcon on #15.    I didn't used to like him, but the past few years he's grown on me quite a bit.
    • I am terrible at the hip stuff so have no idea how to get it right but you look like you are trying to stall hip slide altogether.
    • I think you are right about the margin of error. I was watching the Yankees Vs Athletics the other night. They overturned multiple calls cause it was just outside the box, but then kept a few strikes that just touched the line of the box. the difference in the 2 pitches was maybe a 1/16 of an inch.
