We unpack how John Erickson decoded Ben Hogan’s real mechanics and turned them into a trainable system that manages shaft pressure, not poses. The talk gets practical with drills, gear choices, and practice habits that produce penetrating flight and stable clubface control.
• early wrist set to remove transition pressure
• tripping the shaft to the 4:30 line
• frozen right elbow and low‑left exit
• delayed torso rotation to hold shaft flex
• corkscrew backswing and free ride down drills
• explosion into finish for faster left shoulder
• under‑plane early, up to plane late concept
• flatter lie angles and heavier heads for stability
• practice minimalism: drills over buckets
• biasing misses short‑right for scoring
• ABS framework vs Hogan‑specific modules
• student progress: mid‑ and long‑iron gains
