Interesting right enough, he does take ages to say it though, a bit like a US infomercial.

Hogans Pivot
Sounds like he's trying to teach S+T to me.
Interesting though as I was just watching Some Hogan swings yesterday,it does seem to me watching some of greats from the past that they have swings,quite differant to the modern players.

Not sure what to make of it really. I always though top of the left hip is the pivot point anyway. I'm not even sure the sturnum is seen as the pivot point. The way he is describing getting to that point is nothing like Hogan though. Hogan had tremendous torque in his right leg. As he gets to the top his hips move laterally before coming down and thats how he gets so in to his left. It's a bit different to what he is saying which is to stack on the left from the off.
Tommo what do you make of it? He's hardly Geoff Jones.

I don’t think he’s say stack on the left…..Hogan clearly puts much of his weight on the right leg as he’s going back but if you watch Hogans take away especially in this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWLLPKiSMRk then I agree totally with what he’s saying.
Although his left hip does come down, right hip back and up his weight is primarily on his right side on the back swing. If it wasn’t you would not see that beautiful transfer back onto his left side.
My understanding of S n T means it’s primarily on the left side. I think this is the reason Hogan’s swing is so fluid although amazingly fast in real time.
The other point the guy is making, from Hogan’s book, is he squeezed the ball away, he wasn’t behind it. I know two genuine scratch players and both of them seem to hit the ball so late as if they are right over the top of the impact point, not behind it.
