Book Reviews of Ben Hogan's Magical Device: The Real Secret to Hogan's Swing Finally Revealed
Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a terrific book. The author might not be a household name, but he clearly knows his stuff. His interpretation of Ben Hogan makes excellent golf sense, and the question whether he has discovered Hogan's secret or not is moot. What the book explains is extremely sound, fundamentally sound, and it definitely works. I tried out his advice and hit some of the best drives I can remember hitting--not necessarily longer drives, but high quality drives that went where I aimed with a beautiful trajectory. I strongly recommend this book for those who are interested in learning the fundamentals of golf. I believe this book delivers a great explanation for a totally sound way of hitting the golf ball, possibly the way Ben Hogan striped it. I believe the writer has hit the bullseye as far as figuring out Hogan's secret.
Summary of Ben Hogan's Magical Device: The Real Secret to Hogan's Swing Finally Revealed
In 1954, Ben Hogan stated in the serialized lessons he wrote for Life magazine that he had ?a secret.? He challenged the world to find it by stating "It is easy to see if I tell you where to look." He then wrote his legendary instructional book, Five Lessons, and created a remarkable golf swing puzzle, but somehow one important piece of information was missing. Golf expert after golf expert have attempted to define this secret over the years, serving to compile a rather lengthy list of what they think the secret is but never quite explaining how it's done. Enter Ben Hogan's Magical Device, a revealing book which intends to finally explain, in universally understandable terms, that long-lost secret to Hogan's swing.As a lifelong golfer with 50+ years of experience, two degrees in Physical Education and a Doctorate in History, author Ted Hunt became determined to track down Hogan?s secret himself. He reviewed most of the literature concerning Hogan and interviewed many professionals (including Jack Nicklaus) and the result of his research produced a clearer understanding of the source of the confusion concerning Hogan?s secret. An hypothesis was conceived and tested, and Hunt was pleased to discover that his analysis stood up to critical examination. But perhaps more importantly, his golf responded with more accuracy and lower scores, which included shooting his age (79) several times within weeks of embracing the secret.
Complete with 100 photos/illustrations and a foreword by movie star Sean Connery, Ben Hogan's Magical Device gives an easy-to-follow explanation of Hogan?s secret, where it comes from, and the foundations which support its successful execution. Interspersed throughout the text are stories from professional acquaintances who spoke with Hunt about their times with Mr. Hogan.
