• Don’t look for a “position”, look at in a general Sybervision ** way. Look for similarities and/or differences of areas that may be of interest to you like:
  swing shapes, set-up/address looks, impact areas, swing motions, swing finishes ,etc.
  
  As an example, if your Pro/PGA instructor talks about how your arms should swing, look at how a certain player does it and how another may do it. Keep in mind, the Tour Pros have wonderful hand-eye-coordination and thus they are expert Manipulators of Impact.
  Your general visualization is more important than some magic position.
  
  
• Different camera angles can make certain positions “appear” a certain way, but are not what you might think you see because of the different angles the video could have been shot at.
  
  Video is a great learning tool, but only within the context of learning a "feel" that is individual, which is to say …yours.
  
  
• Also we usually don’t know what kind of shot the players were trying to hit, which can affect its “look”. If the shot the player was trying to produce had a left- to- right shape, or right- to- left shape, that factor could easily affect the player’s different set-ups, hand/arm swing shapes.
  
  Some swings are taken on a driving range while others are on a golf course during play. Advanced players have learned to always try to hit shots to targets, with some sort of shape to the ball’s flight. That requires “feel” adjustments, which could easily change a look of a swing at that time.
  
  

  The Loading Period:

  • The swings “Loading” may take a few seconds to load.
    
    
  • Give the page a full load time. Some swings may appear earlier than others, let them load completely. You will find the next time you view this page, whether going back and forth today or the next day, month, etc. the swings will appear and load MUCH quicker.
    
    

    ** SyberVision or CyberVision has been referred to as Muscle Memory Programming, or as often referred to as“Repititous Sensory Stimulation”. Some say SyberVision could be used as a “dramatic improvement in the quality and consistency of a player”.
    
    Basically, a theory based on viewing enough times, you may feel "your" swing's motions/positions better. You have to SEE before you can DO.

"The waggle gives the golfer a running start. It blends right into the swing. For all general points and purposes, the backswing is simply an extension of the way the golfer takes the club back on the waggle."
--B.Hogan

"I don't like the glamour.

I just like the game."

“A good round of golf is if you can hit about three shots that turn out exactly as you planned them."
-- Ben Hogan

No amount of effort will produce more velocity than a player’s maximum turning speed.

"Irons are the offensive shots of golf"
--Ben Hogan

To verify a correct backswing,” Hogan wrote, “at the top of the backswing the groin muscle on the inside of your right leg near your right nut will tighten. This subtle feel of tightness there tells you that you [can make] the correct move back to the ball.”

Ben Hogan is widely acknowledged to have been the greatest ball striker ever to have played golf. Although he had a formidable record as a tournament winner, it is this aspect of Hogan which mostly underpins his modern reputation.

Hogan was known to practice more than any other golfer of his contemporaries and is said to have "invented practice."

"You hear stories about me beating my brains out practicing, but... I was enjoying myself."
"I couldn't wait to get up in the morning, so I could hit balls. When I'm hitting the ball where I want, hard and crisply, it's a joy."
--Ben Hogan

"The ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball."

--Ben Hogan

"There are two crises during the natural golf swing -- when the clubhead moves away from the ball at the the start of the backswing, and when it is time to start the downswing"

-- B.Hogan

Hogan thought that an individual's golf swing was "in the dirt" and that mastering it required plenty of practice and repetition.
He is also known to have spent years contemplating the golf swing, trying a range of theories and methods before arriving at the finished method which brought him his greatest period of success.

"You can hit your shots great and still shoot 80 every day because of poor management. The shots are 30 percent of the game. Judgment is 70 percent."
--B.Hogan

"Whether you are playing a full driver or a five-iron or a wedge, you make no conscious variation in the way you perform your swing. Without your knowing it, your swing will change slightly as the length of the shaft of the club changes."
--B.Hogan

"The hips initiate the downswing. They are the pivotal element in the chain reaction. Starting them first and moving them correctly--this one action practically makes the downswing."
--B.Hogan

"I rarely aimed at the flag. I aimed at the spot where I had the best birdie opportunity."
--Ben Hogan

Hogan's ball striking has also been described as being of near miraculous caliber by other very knowledgeable observers such as Jack Nicklaus, who only saw him play some years after his prime. Nicklaus once responded to the question,

"Is Tiger Woods the best ball striker you have ever seen?" with, "No, no - Ben Hogan, easily".

Hogan played and practiced golf with only bare-hands i.e. he played or practiced without wearing any gloves. Moe Norman also did the same, playing and practicing without wearing any golf gloves. Both these players are/were arguably the greatest ball strikers golf has ever known, even Tiger Woods quoted them as the only players ever to have "owned their swings", in that they had total control of it and as a result, the ball's flight.

Although his ball striking was perhaps the greatest ever, Hogan is also known to have at times been a very poor putter by professional standards, particularly on slow greens. The majority of his putting problems developed after his car accident in 1949. Towards the end of his career, he would stand over the ball, in some cases for minutes, before drawing the putter back. It was written in the Hogan Biography, Ben Hogan: An American Life, that Hogan had damaged one of his eyes and that poor vision added to his putting problems.

While he suffered from the "yips" in his later years, Hogan was known as an effective putter from mid to short range on quick, US Open style surfaces at times during his career.
