Letter Lesson N-End – Hogan Finish

Key Concept 5 – Evaluate And Be On Balance

Key Concept 5 – The Hogan Finish is when the belly button or belt buckle is
facing your target. I believe it is your Sighted Line Target.

Beautiful Hogan Finish

Due to the opening of Mr. Hogan's shoulders and hips, he could use his right

arm extension more. Go ahead and do your exercise “Out Of My Head Right
Arm Only -The Hybrid Stance And Hogan Finish” in the Letter Lessons
Exercise portion of this Ebook to get you to utilize your right side properly.

If you are using the Hybrid stance correctly your right knee will be side
swiping the golf ball. By that I mean you will not be stuck and just firing the
right knee directly forward or towards the ball but at a glancing blow like a
car being struck at an angle.

This action will keep your downswing to the inside. Remember the shape of a
inside figure 8 swing. Straight back BUT to the INSIDE up and in, then
DOWN A LITTLE and then IN FRONT of the body and then INSIDE and then
back UP to the Hogan Finish with the golf club behind your neck.

You want to be off of your heels at address. Remember in grade school when
you would go out to the blacktop recess yard and do the shuttle run. You
would instinctively get in the correct body position for a proper weight

distribution and body alignments to swing the golf club. Your body would be
instinctively setup to do everything forward.

When coming into the impact area hit down on the ball using the shaft of the

golf club and not just flip the clubhead. Remember the little left thumb
pressure on the left side of the shaft will rotate the entire club in front of you
so you can have power and forward of the golf ball.

Stay in motion before the shot. Use the rotation of the body and get the hands
out of it. - You cannot trust your hands, they will run off and leave you. Power
in the golf swing is slow and steady and you collect it coming through the ball
