Summary of Ben Hogan's Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The golf grip is the heartbeat of the action of the golf swing. It is the power that is generated by the movements of the body that is transferred from the body to the arms, which in turn transfer it through the hands to the clubhead. #2 The V formed by the thumb and forefinger should point to your right eye when you have completed your left-hand grip.
The total pressure of all your fingers should not be any stronger than the pressure exerted by just the forefinger and the palm pad. #3 The right hand, since it is the hand that does the overlapping, is more complicated. If you want to set up a strong, correct left hand, you must subdue the natural tendency of the right forefinger and thumb to take charge. They will ruin you if you use them to help you build a good grip and swing. #4 The right-hand grip is a finger grip.
The two fingers that should apply most of the pressure are the two middle fingers. The forefinger shouldn't be allowed to become too forceful. The club should be in the fingers and not in the palm.
