Book Reviews of The Fundamentals of Hogan
Book Review: Excellent Hogan Analysis
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book, which I read in tandem with the original Ben Hogan "Fundamentals", which this book is based upon. David Lebetter offers excellent commentary on how and why certain elements of Hogan's technique worked best for Hogan, and why and how these fundamentals might or might not work well for others. Seeing the photos from which the original line drawings were done is both interesting and illuminating. I believe that reading the two books together, which I did chapter by chapter (first reading Hogan, then reading Ledbetter) adds substantially to the reader's understanding and appreciation of both books. Some have commented that the Ledbetter book is too dense or technical, but I found that, for anymore really wanting to understand the dynamics of grip, set-up and swing, these two books are especially illuminating and helpful.Book Review: A must buy for all golf fanatics and teaching professionals!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a teaching professional for the David Leadbetter Golf Academy, I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of David's new book. David is an inovator and very creative, and he is always in search of new ideas that will enhance his philosophy of teaching. After obtaining photos of Hogan, which were the actual photos from Hogan's great instruction book, David carefully describes in detail Hogan's mechanics and breaks them down into ways no one else can. David is a true genius, and this is why he is and will remain on top of the instructional world. Just to point out a few areas, you will find very interesting details on Hogan's "transition" and his "release" which were very informative. This book will help you understand why Hogan was known as the best ball striker of all time.Book Review: Hogan De-mystified
Summary: 5 Stars
For those are fans of Hogan's masterpiece the Five Fundemantals this book is a must. Leadbetter is able to explain in simpler terms what Hogan was getting at. Leadbetter also explains some of the fallicies in Hogan's earlier work. Hogan did not have the benfit of video tape so what he believed he was doing with his swing and what he was actually doing was different. Anyone who enjoyed or benefited from Hogan's original book should pick this up as a companion piece.Book Review: Surprised by the Clarity
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never been a big fan of either Hogan or Leadbetter. For me, Hogan's ideas always seemed too narrow and dogmatic, tailored to his own unique swing and talent. This is the best thing I have ever seen by Leadbetter, and this is the clearest take on Hogan's ideas I have run across. It's a very entertaining read, and it offers lots of good ideas for the recreational golfer who also is a student of the game.Book Review: YOU NEED THIS BOOK!
