Women golfers who aspire to improve their game stand to benefit from learning techniques from the pros. And when it comes to pros, who else could serve as better teachers than the legends of golf - people like Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Walter Hagen? But even these legends learned from true masters like Ben Hogan, the player universally known as one of the best golfers in the history of the sport. In fact, Jack Nicklaus has been known to say that Ben Hogan is the best ball striker he has ever seen.
Ben Hogan's swing technique was studied and documented all throughout his professional career. Now, years after his passing, younger generations of golfers - men and women golfers alike - may become acquainted with his genius through records such as the classic golf swing book Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golfwhich was written by Ben Hogan himself. This is known to be one of the most widely-read golf instruction books in the world, which is often quoted or paraphrased by many modern "swing gurus."
Another good guide to Hogan's techniques is the documentary Golf Channel - Ben Hogan: The Golf Swing.This golf swing DVD covers a step-by-step introduction to the elements of Ben Hogan's unparalleled skill on the course.
Sports analysts have found that there is a supposed "secret" to Ben Hogan's legendary swing. This technique made his power swing nearly automatic. Fans of the sport spotted it quickly and spent time studying it. In 1955, the mysterious technique got a name: "cupping under." Although it wasn't until later in Ben Hogan's life that he actually revealed the details of this technique. Hogan said that the swing was accomplished by cupping the left wrist at the top of the back swing, then making his left hand perform a weaker grip.
This is not a technique that is sure to benefit all golfers, as Hogan was known to be left-handed, although he played golf right-handed all his adult life. However, Ben Hogan's The Golf Swing does not spend all of its time focusing on that particular "secret." Hogan had many more tricks up his sleeve, which men and women golfers are sure to find useful to employ in their own games, and The Golf Swing makes sure to touch upon each one.
