right.Jack's book has also been mentioned in videos I have seen. I subscribe to Tom Bertrand's you tube channel for several Hogan videos. For some reason, I am not able to copy and paste here. Works fine everywhere else. I am pretty sure its something on my browser. (Chrome)

noted an article in February edition of Golf Magazine about Hogan's swing as analyzed by AI technology and Swing Index. I have of course read about some of his prime moves before, but seeing the photos in the article gave me much better perception. The twist move he had at take away was not addressed, but the backswing and "lay off" was. This has been discussed in many threads and videos on you tube.

nothing wrong with DIY, if doing several, but for me not worth the hassle one at a time, purchasing materials, shaft vice e.t.c. I have the UTX middies on my Tour Edge, but they are not available in over-sized and is why I went with Crossline. The over-size were recommended by Lamkin's web site calculator. I am probably on the borderline between mid and jumbo. (middle finger barely touches palm on the mid-sized). I would agree with comments above regarding what feels comfortable.

Moto G5 and Moto G4 for SWMBO. Use Consumer Cellular as my needs are minimal and also they piggyback on both AT&T and T-Mobile. The cameras are decent as well.

Recently took 5 iron purchase of the 695 MB to Golf Mart. I got the Lamkin Crossline ($5.00) and another couple bucks for install.

This reminds me of an ad I saw once for a 100% guaranteed device to kill cockroaches. The package contained two small blocks of wood with the following instructions: 1. Catch a cockroach 2. Place the cockroach on block nr 1. 3. Firmly strike block nr 1 with block nr 2. Note: I am not ridiculing your invention, its just that that devious thought came to mind. Good luck with your enterprise, I love its simplicity. another idea for you would be to mount the clips in the middle of the frame and attach a ball mount to the middle of a third "rail" between the clips. This would allow for 360 deg of rotation. Of course this has already been done as in certain car vent mounts. oops. scratch that idea...It would probably cover up the camera lens on phones with center mounted lenses.

1955 Ford Fairlane. I bought it off my High School Coach (Ohio). I had just joined the Navy in 1959 and drove it to my first duty station in Washington D.C. (actually in Cheltenham MD). I have owned 21 cars since then plus 5 motorcycles.

My S2 works okay, but battery does not maintain a charge very well. I need to plug it in every three or four days. It does permit complete rounds however.

Count me among those who do not have an "official" handicap index. I do maintain a spreadsheet that contains all the relevant formulae and it is accurate. Some might say "What's the use?'. They are right, but at least gives me a constant reference when playing various courses. I no longer compete and am chronologically impaired.

That's dedication! I really do not know if the regimen advocated by the manufacturer has any real basis for strict adherence to their protocols, but I suppose does lend justification for their marketing of the three different weights in the clubs. From what I gather, they maintain that the exponential increase through the exercises is necessary for optimum results. In any event, whatever steps one takes should be somewhat beneficial (or not). I still would exercise caution and make sure adequate warm up is taken to minimize potential injury.

I would definitely lose then, unless I put wager on the other guy 3 to 1

yes, that is what I thought, but the company literature and others posts seems to indicate the opposite. Ignorance and Apathy. (IDK and IDC)

let's make in $10...(you now see my problem?)

Curtail Casino Gaming. (yea, right....good luck with that).

I had to look that one up, but my guess was correct. "Skip"=Trash (community collection bin). I normally take my discards to Veterans' store or local thrift, so a bloke like myself might benefit. Tit for Tat as it were.

@Monir Since you state that have been playing blades for awhile and seem okay with them, why change? Granted, GI or SGI might save you a few strokes, but you should do what YOU feel like doing. You could always demo a set to see if they make enough difference. I started out when all that were available were blades and Persimmon/Laminated. Of course, I was forty years or so younger. I was never all that good, but I also had other priorities sometimes taking a hiatus from playing for years at a time. Recently I finally opted out of my Hogan Edge irons and went for Tour Edge EXi which are stated as being for "better" players (that is debatable). They are a little smaller than the SGI irons, but not as drastic as a true blade. Just for the heck it, I acquired a muscle back from a thrift shop and even though it is touted for scratch and plus golfers, I can hit it without a lot of additional effort, but it did take some getting used to. so, keep on having fun with your "buds" and don't worry about unsolicited advice (especially from bozos, like me).

I am still messing around with this speed training thing with some positive results. I probably mentioned this before, no matter the placement of the radar device, swing speed when hitting an actual ball is a little slower while others report it should be faster. Perhaps a mental, anxiety thing, or ball offers resistance. Its all relative though, for as long as I see a measurable improvement and a little distance increase on the course, its all good.

good to know. I was about half expecting a hoard of people telling me why I should not be playing these. But as you may know by now, I do not pay a lot of heed to "conventional wisdom" which I consider an oxymoron. 😏

yeah...me too....I recently regripped the five iron I got at a thrift shop (Titleist 695MB). I went with a Lamkin Oversized and it feels a LOT better than the Tour Velvet that it came with. I have long, skinny fingers and to complicate things, my right hand has Duputryns Contracture (not so bad though). The rest of my irons are mid-sized.

I recently acquired a Titleist 695MB Five Iron from a thrift shop visit. Not surprisingly, the loft is somewhat weaker than modern day irons. This five iron has the same loft as my Tour Edge six iron which is 28 deg. Also, the shaft is 1/4 Inch shorter. Yes, I am quite aware that it has been stated that this club is for very skilled players. No matter, besides only in recent years have I been using cast, cavity backs and I have always preferred smaller heads. I just liked the looks. oh yeah.....in case you are curious..... $8.00. (but had to put new grip on it).

I found this video of how Hogan may have implemented this move. As you mention, it could also cause innumerable problems for many.

@xrayvizhen Yes, that sounds about right. Certainly nothing new. I can do it fairly well with irons, but driver, not so much. It's one of those things that feel good one day, but different on others.

"I may not always be right, but I am NEVER wrong!"

I carry a 60 deg lobber but seldom use it. Takes a little getting used to, but may come in handy in certain situations. I may take it out to make room for 5 iron or another hybrid.

haha.. E=MC2
