Out Of My Head Right Arm Only -The Hybrid Stance
And Hogan Finish
I hope you are enjoying the music.. Rag Doll, On Broadway. Now on to Going
Out Of My Head. I will show you how to face the Sighted Line as in Bowling
and just swing your right arm. Mr. Hogan never ran out of his right arm. In

and stability and now he could apply accuracy with his right arm. He could
shape shots with his follow through.
Right Arm Only - Works With Hybrid Stance And Hogan Finish
Ken Venturi said in the “Hogan Mystique” that you can tell where the ball
went because of Mr. Hogan's finish. We will learning how to do this with the
entire golf swing in Letter Lesson N for End The Hogan Finish.
The concept of concentric circles will be placed in the context of a Hybrid
Stance which I will be covering in Letter Lesson A for The Correct Address.
For now I want you to understand that Mr. Hogan had to find a way to keep
the face of the club under control. He knew that he had power in his right
hand. He would always say, “I wish I had three Right hands”.
So we need to get the right arm fully through the ball coming through so we
don't block ourselves and flip the club. We do not want the hitchhiking thumb
