Book Reviews of The Fundamentals of Hogan
Book Review: real pix from a classic
Summary: 5 Stars
They have found the actual pictures used for the drawings in Ben Hogan's Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf - that alone is worth the price of admission. But there are also some good insights into the original book.Book Review: Excellent resource
Summary: 5 Stars
Great instructional piece. Leadbetter adds a great deal to the original Hogan work. His ability to explain why certain things worked for Hogan, but may not produce similar results for different types of golfers is of great import. A MUST have for any student of the game.Book Review: Well worth adding to your library
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a Hogan fan, and/or if you have 5 Fundamentals, you need this book. Does a great job of breaking down what Hogan was teaching, and more importantly what he was actually doing.Book Review: Read only the parts on Hogan
Summary: 4 Stars
This a fantastic book for pictures of Hogan demonstrating his swing techniques taken for the illustrations in the "Five Lessons". Leadbetter makes a very detailed analysis of Hogan's swing and some interesting observations between what Hogan said in his book and how he actually swung. A must for every Hogan fan.
However, as soon as Leadbetter starts giving his own "My Views", watch out. In "The Plane Truth for Golfers", Jim Hardy differentiates between the one plane (Hogan, Snead) and the two plane (Leadbetter). All of Leadbetter views on how to improve on Hogan's swing are two plane ideas which Hardy points out are disastrous for the one plane swing. Read Five Lessons and this book for Hogan's swing and forget all the sections labelled "My Views" or you will be swinging the golf club like David Leadbetter, not like Ben Hogan!
5 stars for Ben Hogan; 3 stars for David Leadbetter.
Book Review: Great detail to learning the basics
Summary: 4 Stars
First let me say that i don't think this is a great book to pick up if you are just begining your journey of learning how to play golf. Leadbetter definitly assumes that you know a little about golf. With that said, i learned alot by reading this book. The entire book gave me a wealth of knowledge to begin incorporating in my lessons. I learned alot through the pictures and assited guidance that Ledbetter incorporated into this book. The author tries to relay Hogan's ideals on the fundementals of golf and then the author tries to relay his opinions on how to do bring these into your gold game.
I started this book and realized that there was so much to this game that i had yet to learn, and that was only after the first chapter. This is definitly worth the read. It's a short book with a wealth of info and pictures to help you. Check it out.
