Swing Analysis: Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan- Surprisingly Similar

You wouldn’t really expect to find a great amount of similarity between the “upright” swing of Jack Nicklaus and the “flat” swing of Ben Hogan, but in this video I show that they are actually eerily similar when viewed from a skewed face on angle. I thought of making this comparison after responding to a comment on my video “The Lost Art of the Lifted Left Heel” which chastised me for instructing people to push off their right foot to initiate the downswing, saying that was a horrible thing, and that it was actually the left knee that initiated the forward swing.
