Question

Did Ben Hogan have a perfect Golf swing?

Answer 1

i dont think so

Answer 2

I think there is really no such thing.. For Ben Hogan he had a perfect swing.  He played a lot of rounds where he hit every fairway and every green .. So for him, it his swing worked..  LOTS OF PRACTICE TO

Answer 3

No 1 golfer has ever had the "Perfect Swing"    but the true test of any golf swing is if it is repeatable and delivers satisfactory results.   Outside of those 2 criteria....nothing else matters......Look at Furyk's swing......He is always right up there with the big money boys.

Answer 4

Rather than looking for a perfect swing, which I do not believe exists. You need to look for a effective swing that gets the desired results.  Look at Jim Furyk's.  He seems to be rather successful.

Answer 5

Think About It -

If anyone had the 'perfect' swing he would probably have the round that Hogan used to have dreams about. He said he was playing 18 and he made holes in one on the first 17 holes, then on 18 he lipped out for his final hole in one....at this point he would wake up, "mad as h**l".

From what I've read about him, this dream describes him pretty well....most people would be happy to shoot 19 for 18 holes...however Hogan was ticked he didn't achieve perfection!

I believe that his swing approached perfection for that era. Nobody could use his technique today and be successful just because the equipment and the game itself has changed.

At the time, due to the equipment, the emphasis was on a solid strike, and nobody mastered this as well as Hogan. I think when he got to Heaven the angels probably asked him to explain solid club to ball contact.

Nowadays you can hit the ball all over the face of your driver and irons ans still be successful...I've had the opportunity to watch many tour players up close, and Fred Couples hits just about every shot towards the toe of his irons...Ben Hogan would not have been the player he was if he'd have slapped every shot on the toe!

So to answer your question, golf is a game of imperfection...but Hogan came closest in his era to achieving total mastery of his golf swing.
