The Time Someone Thought I Was Ben Hogan (Video Clips)

All of this Ben Hogan talk has reminded me of something amusing that happened to me a few years back.

The funny thing is – I have never pretended or tried to swing like Ben Hogan except for in the video “The Ben Hogan Project” in 2014 in which I did wear a driving cap like Hogan for the mood.

In that video, if I recall, I didn’t even really try to swing exactly like Hogan, I just pointed out his pivot action, later known as the “Perfect Pivot” in my subsequent videos, and to debunk all of the nonsense about his swing that so irritated me after I’d taken a hard look at his mechanics.

DJ Hits Irons – Face On View – 9i, 7i, 5i

I’ve just uploaded some irons swings from the same date as the down the line swings I shot back in August of 2022.

Now, I had said that I loved the setup viewed down the line and the face-on, not so much – however, upon review, it’s not so much the setup that I didn’t love, rather the pivot action.

DJ’s Iron Swings DTL – 9i, 7i, 5i

I have just uploaded a swing clip of myself hitting three irons down the line from August 16, 2022.

The setup, I have to say, is absolutely nailed, at least from the down the line view.

Face on, I am not in love with because of the work I’ve done in the intervening 2.5 years, but I have nothing to pick at with this view.

The Vertical Swing & The Setup – 7 Iron DTL

It amazes me how far away from the proper MCS setup I strayed in the years since producing and releasing the “E = MCS” swing video (which is no longer available because there were certain things about my swing at the time that I detest, so I’ll have to re-shoot it).

I talk about how the swing is vertical and not rotary, which if you wish to swing in this manner requires the proper setup shown down the line, and I actually nearly nailed it when I was making the video.

My “E = MCS” Swing From 2017 DTL (Drv & 7i)

I have been going over the changes to my stance as shown down the line (** more on this at the end of the post), and it has been a while since I looked at any of my archived video from the “E = MCS” video released in 2017.

While I would not consider the setup shown down the line as what I want to see today, I was still surprised by how close I was to it 6 years ago – not too bad at all.
