Summary

Bradley Hughes joins host Josh Karp to explain why copying Ben Hogan’s poses misses the point—real power comes from pressure and post-impact forces. Hughes shows how ground pressure, an “inside” delivery path, and drills like the impact bag can turn slices into draws. He also shares simple fixes like the “7-5-2” pressure setup to help amateurs stop posing and start playing.

I'd basically have a 100% success rate. Like, no one gets worse. They all get better. Talking about your boat, I had a 70, I think he was 72 years old when I started working with him. And he thought, you know, he loved golf, but he thought this is it. I'm 16 handicapped. I've lost it. I'm never going to get good again. Within eight months, he was back down to a seven.

And it wasn't from any magic stuff. It was providing the forces on the ball that the golf

ball likes. So today I'm talking to Bradley Hughes about Ben Hogan, Sam's Need, and teaching a different way of teaching the

golf swing. Bradley, thank you for taking the time to do this. I'm glad you're here. Yep, you're

0:44.8

welcome. Looking forward to it. So I just read an article that you wrote. I know you wrote a book

0:49.9

about Hogan, but talking about people trying to swing like Hogan.

0:54.8

Can you just talk a little bit about, you know, Hogan swing and why it is so incredibly

1:01.3

difficult for, I think you said, like, nobody is really actually capable of doing it,

1:07.7

at least, you know, an amateur.

1:09.3

But talk a little bit about that and, you know, tell us, you know, your impressions of people

1:13.6

trying to use Hogan Swing.

1:15.7

Well, I think it's possible, but you've got to understand that when people diagnose Hogan's

1:21.9

swing, there's some footage, you know, probably not great footage of his swing, you know,

1:26.5

in action.

1:28.1

There's a little bit around. Certainly not high definition, certainly not slowed down enough that you can really

1:33.2

pinpoint a lot of things. So most Hogan swing thoughts are based off still photographs, pictures

1:40.5

of Hogan. Now, you've got to remember that a picture is just a spot in the swing.

1:47.0

There's something that came before it and there's something that's going to come after.

1:52.0

So when you see a picture, a lot of people try and pose that picture. They try and get in that

1:59.0

position, whereas that position is something, like I said,
