John Erickson, father of Advanced Ball Striking, reveals how he cracked the Hogan code by examining the science behind Ben Hogan's legendary ball striking technique.
• Heavy club heads (around 16 ounces compared to modern 10-11 ounce drivers) helped Hogan generate power through body rotation rather than arm speed
• Flat lie angles (6-8 degrees flatter than standard) provided greater accuracy by reducing the possibility of left misses
• "Tripping the shaft" at transition creates the distinctive flattening move that allowed Hogan to approach the ball from inside
• Weight remains on the right foot longer than commonly taught, with a powerful push-off similar to a baseball pitcher
• Hogan stayed "closed" much longer in the downswing, maintaining shoulder and hip alignment until deeper in the downswing
• The distinction between a "hitter's release" (maintaining shaft flex through impact) versus a "swinger's release" (timing the straightening of the shaft)
• Cupped wrist at the top opens the clubface, allowing aggressive rotation through impact without fear of hooking
• Proper sequencing involves lateral movement first, then rotation, contrary to modern teaching about early hip rotation
