For decades, professional golfers,

instructors, analysts, and fans around

the world have tried in vain to decipher

the secret of Ben Hogan's swing. The

legendary golf master spent most of his early

years trying to tame his notorious hook and, in

the process, invented the purest, most effective

swing in the history of the game. Though he

openly discussed some aspects of his fabled

secret, Hogan held back key revelations to be

shared in strict confidence with less than a

handful of devotees.

Now, for the first time, the complete model of

Hogan's secret swing technology is available to

golfers everywhere. In this unique volume,

Tom Bertrand shares the revelations about

Hogan's swing that PGA Tour player John

Schlee--one of the rare few to receive personal

instruction from Hogan--held in confidence

for so many years. Assisted by Printer Bowler,

Bertrand chronicles the remarkable era in his

life when he learned Hogan's techniques--first

as a student and later as an instructor--at

Schlee's Maximum Golf School during the

1980s. Having validated these teachings for

himself and with countless students, Bertrand

relates here how anyone who loves and

plays golf can bring Hogan's magic into his or

her own game.

All of Hogan's secrets--including the ""missing

link"" known only to Schlee and a handful of

others--are revealed, reviewed, and explained

here in Bertrand's Legendary Golf system,

featuring slow swing movements you can use

to correctly guide your swing through Hogan's

famed ""chain action"" sequence. Drawing upon

his exclusive access to Schlee's conversations and experiences with Hogan, Bertrand provides

a simple, step-by-step practice plan for

learning the key elements of Hogan's swing

that you can adopt in a short time, no matter

what your skill level.

The Secret of Hogan's Swing is both a testament

to Hogan's monumental gifts to golf and

an accessible guide to the elements of his swing.

This book complements and essentially

completes Hogan's classic Five Lessons: The

Modern Fundamentals of Golf. Finally there

are no more secrets.

Reviews for The Secret of Hogan's Swing

""The Secret of Hogan's Swing goes beyond pure instruction, offering insightful shot-making and strategy tips passed on to former tour pro John Schlee from Ben Hogan and interpreted wonderfully by Tom Bertrand and Printer Bowler."" --John Andrisani, author of Tiger's New Swing and Heaven Can Wait ""Like finding the Rosetta stone of golf. . . . Tom Bertrand and Printer Bowler's The Secret of Hogan's Swing gives us a pipeline to the Master's wisdom that we thought had been lost forever. Secret is an instruction book like no other. It's the Hogan book Hogan himself never wrote, packed with the insights the great champion passed on to John Schlee (in a fascinating mentor-disciple relationship) and that Schlee, in turn, bequeathed to Tom Bertrand. We'll probably never have anything like this again. Hogan's gone, Schlee's gone, but thank goodness we've got Tom Bertrand to preserve the nuggets of pure golfing gold that the Master dug up 'out of the dirt' of ten thousand practice tees and a thousand tournaments. The Secret of Hogan's Swing demonstrates that the vein of wisdom left by the peerless champion still yields up precious ore, not just in the technical aspects of the golf swing (Hogan's concepts are not only absolutely modern but even quite radical) but in his insights into the psychological and mental aspects of the game. His concept of the 'moving wall' is worth the price of the book alone. A must-read for every serious student of the game."" --Steven Pressfield, author of The Legend of Bagger Vance
