Hi Everyone, welcome to the "No More Secrets Ben Hogan Channel". If your serious about learning Ben Hogan's golf swing, you are absolutely in the right place.
In this video Christopher is going to explain to you why the spiral in the lead arm is the most important thing to understand when it comes to Hogan's golf swing. Once you combine the correct rotation of body with the correct spiraling of the lead arm is when the true magic happens.
Traditionally the golf swing has been taught that the cupping in the lead wrist is a big No - No. However, when you understand how Hogan was really getting the cup in the lead wrist is when your golf swing is going to jump into high gear.
Better ball striking can be yours at will and you can honestly make small changes in your swing that do not take forever to make. It really is time to take your golf swing and game to an entirely new level.

I’m 5’6”, 67, 7 hcp, an engineer (over love mechanics). I’ve been chasing the Hogan model for five years. I’m convinced the lesson pro guys I’ve went to, don’t know Hogan stuff🤨. I’ve discovered your videos three days ago, went to the range and WOWW, the spiraling motion clicked on all clubs and in a competitive round. I then noticed the arm position video and lowered my rotation….thank you👏👏👏. These corrections came easy👍. Even on my driver, I feel the balance and complete follow through.
I’ve been spiraling since I was six years old. Never hit a hook in my life, unless I altered my set up. I was once told, I had to hit draws and get rid of my opened club face which was due to my cupped left wrist at the top of my backswing. ( I’m right handed ) It felt so strange to go against my natural tendency. Really appreciate your perspective Chris. 🇨🇦💝🇺🇸🙏🥰
Great video. You identified some things I struggled with, like the flat wrist. Trying to maintain awkward angles and shoulder tilts caused me to lock up in my swing. The cupped wrist with spiralling feels natural and has improved my consistency.
Glad it was helpful!
Chris i have to say your coaching is the best ive ever seen and if your not your tied for first. I Relate so well with you. I played for the Chicago Cubs and i know who knows what! Thank you for your time and effort.
I appreciate that! Really means a lot!!!
this is my fave one so far. good stuff. love your delivery and enthusiasm
Thanks!!!
Floor, ceiling, upside down-
Excellent!
Thanks. 👍👍👍
I tried the left forearm spiraling from an earlier video with great results. It creates an extra lever I didn't understand how to do correctly after I read 5 Lessons. You get explosive power you didn't know you had. I began with shorter length, hip-to-hip swings like those on pg. 82 of Mr. Hogan's book. It works great to warm up like that while focusing on the spiraling with each type of club, wedges, mid-irons, long-irons, and fairway woods. Thanks Chris!
Thanks for sharing your experience. It really is awesome when it clicks.
Best instructor on CZcams
By far the easiest technique when it clicks.
I have never flushed a ball so easily when down correctly
Thank you. And thanks for sharing.
Excellent detailed nuanced explanation thank you
Glad it was helpful!
The best Hogan video to date! Thanks
Wow, thank you!
Just amazing thank you....your "spiral" was a WOW moment for me..I've been a hacker for 50 years.
Thanks for watching and sharing.
Was stunned how well this worked for me many thanks
Great to hear!
Having watched Hogan swing videos, I see his shaft is slightly past parallel at the top. In my work, I've never been there until I watched this video. Pointing the club head end to the ground at the top gets me there. Seems like the club head has further to travel, giving me more time to get turned. Amazing result after first practice session. Thx Chris
You're welcome. Hope all is finding well.

Hi Chris, this video is gold! I dont think many amateurs realise how much right hand/right forearm you need to use in respiraling back into the ball. I wasnt doing it enough and was ending up hitting a block fade. Once I started being more agressive through the hitting area with the right hand, things suddenly clicked. I like the baton change concept you spoke about in another video too.
Well said!
I have been studying Hogans book for 50 years, but since I'm studying your video explanations...I truly understand what to do and the ball flys further than ever. Great stuff.
Wonderful!
Why is Hogan - Mr and Jack Nicklaus or Arnold Palmer are Jack and Arnie? Appreciate your detailed information. You certainly have created more insight and rational to try and do the Hogan swing way more than any others who have tried previously. Reading his book and trying over the years to understand is a real head scratcher.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Man this is awesome thank you
Glad you like it!
Thanks Chris. 🤜
💯
You bet.
Love this! Studied Hogan for years, finally understanding how he did it. Great vid 👍 question on top of backswing position, should the shaft always match the same plane line as established at address and be laid off at the top? Or will rotation of the body bring the club around?
Spiral the lead arm is much more explicit than left forearm rotation . when you spiral correctly the lead arm is across the chest.... Chris I am teaching a female friend who is scratch all your videos and she is mesmerized by her own improvement after just a couple of your Hogan's great instruction. thank you very much on her behalf.
That is awesome. Thanks for sharing!!!
Great video, Chris. I am struggling with the transition to the downswing (a little fast). A video on the transition, thru rebalance and downswing (explaining each step), and a few drills would be good, too. If you already have a video, please point me to that link.
I will do a video on it soon.
so great !
👍
I totally get it. Would like to see half turn.
I took the lead arm spiral to the range today. This is the first time I've felt the weight of the club head at the top of the swing. I also felt my lower body moving a little bit to the left front when I feel the club head weight at the top (re-balancing?).
Thanks for sharing
Good stuff
Appreciate it
Hello Chris, I’ve been listening to you for six or seven months every single day at least one hour. One big question is how I’m confused about aiming the gun, the right shoulder or arm pit, or whatever. For a fade I repeat for a fade. Please go over it again. I will keep in contact. I’m a very serious learner.
Chris, what are your thoughts on the swing factor training aid? Thanks.
Having trouble getting to flat left wrist at impact from the cupped position at top. Feels better at top cupped but I’m still flipping at impact. Lack of “spiraling”? Any drills?
Hey Chris, excellent video as always! I have a question: I don't remember which video it is in, but you made a comment about when the right hand begins adding the power coming into the release and the ball, and you said something like the right hand "pushes" through the hitting area (I believe that was opposed to flipping?).
Can you point me to one of your videos where you talk about what both hands to coming into the hitting area and what they do after the ball has left?
Or can you make a video dissecting that?
I have quit watching almost any other golf videos as your concepts have sunk in. And the other day I was really trying to do the baseball swing style with the way your video had said (as opposed to my flipping and coming over the top)...and i absolutely CRUSHED the ball like I had never done. It was weird because I didn't feel like I was swinging harder, but my 4 hybrid carried 235 yards, which was about 40 yards more than normal!
Please let me know about the release/hitting area!
Lastly, does your course have practice drills in it? I think I'm getting close to buying it (but my wife thinks it's a waste because of the several thousand dollars I have spent on all those other online courses that haven't helped me).
I will do a video on this shortly. The MC does have some drills in it. You can tell your wife this is the one class that is going to change everything. You can tell her I guarantee it. 100%
Thank you Chris! Do we need to conciously think to spiral it back down or will the design of the club and centrifugal force square it up at impact? BTW...Happy New Year!
I think when practicing and feeling things in slow motion would be good to start. Then you will feel what is going to be happening during the real swing motion.
What about supernating the left with the hand
👌👌👌
This isnt criticism, its a genuine question. How are you recentering but not pushing weight/pressure into your lead side? Ive tried rotating more in my swing but the only way i can do that without feeling like im twisting my spine (painfully) is by pressuring into my lead side. Without it, you cant push your lead side out the way to allow the rotation. Is there a feel vs real to this rotation?
I will make a video on this topic shortly.
Great explanation: But I tend to pull or snap pull shots w/ the spiral. What am I doing wrong??
If your pulling it, the lead arm spiral is out racing the body. The spiral of the lead arm always has to be following the spiraling of the body. In the downswing it still has to be following the body. Hope that makes since.
Chris, Any change or add-on in Driver swing??
Exactly the difference.
I think Hogan's "secret" might have been that he didn't want a lot of SUBTLE moves in his golf swing, which the modern swing requires. He looked for BIG "feels" that he could "search" for and recreate under the pressure of tournament golf, and found a way to integrate those into the natural, athletic instincts of human motion.
Thanks for sharing.
Would a flat left wrist be ok with the spiral? Or what problems will it cause...
How about flat wrist lt hand at impact?
A flat left wrist is going to promote an open clubface, the reason for this is that the sequence of the spiral chain of the body and arms will be broken. But a flat lead wrist in the backswing never allows you to get on the correct spiraled path of the hands to start with.
Are you saying that the weight stays on your right foot all the way to the finish?It doesnt look that way on Hogan
No.
Great info but my issue is coming down I seem to lunge at the ball Chris
Can you explain lunge at the ball? Early extended? Not sure I fully understand.
@@NoMoreSecrets.BenHogan on the downswing my first move is moving at the ball
I am finding the best downswing trigger for me is starting the downswing by driving the right knee forward to recentre. By forward I mean so it moves on angle in front of the ball not straight in front of you. The arms then drop into the slot and I can hit it hard with my right hand as the trail arm spirals down into the ball. As Hogan himself said, the downswing is initiated from the lower body, not by throwing the right shoulder around which many amateurs do.
Longer, annoying and more ads on utube.
who cares how a guy played golf 70 years ago who used totally different clubs to hit totally different balls on totally different course conditions than what anyone uses or plays on today?
Yea, no one would want to try and swing like the greatest ball striker of all time. If you don’t like something, move on.
@@hudedwards8943 he's not even in the top 10, but maybe you're right and all sports are misguided. Aspiring football players should spend countless hours trying to imitate Otto Graham. Baseball players need look no further than Babe Ruth to find an example of ultimate technique. Why would a boxer bother learning anything from anyone in the last half century when there are perfectly good films of Jack Dempsey available?
This is great stuff. Allows hands to remain connected improving control, power and reducing excessive turning.
You’re right, I’ll listen to a 15 handicap instead of Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus, whom both said Hogan was the best ball striker of all time.
@@vegasponyyou’re a total FUCKTARD!!! obviously you’re a hacker to say Mr. Hogan wasn’t a top 10!!! Let’s play , I’ll give you whatever you want ..and beat you like a DRUM!!
He is right.
👍👍👍
