Some have suggested it was his right leg position", others have mentioned it may have been the "pronation of his left wrist", and many others believe it was Hogan"s left hip movement", that held the key.
A secret is a secret for a reason. A closely guarded man, Hogan was often asked for golfing tips and seldom relented, suggesting only, "to dig it out of the dirt".
So, what did Ben Hogan do that no one else really did, or at least did consistently and, on purpose to maximize the effectiveness of the golf swing?
Where do we look to see the move or action, and can the average person use it to get improved ball striking results?

Ok, lots of people have said they know the secret, a member of Hogan's club, Jamie Vasquez? said Hogan told him its the right leg.. What is the missing piece and will it help the regular guy. I am no Hogan.
Didn't Hogan have a weak grip and fan the club away trying to keep the face open and avoid a hook? I slice the ball enough.
Hogan swing is more centered and moves in a more consistent arc than most players, he gets back to the ball more consistently than most and having a fixed point to aim at, could then work his hands through, creating the shot he needed. Sort of like a pool player who controls the angle and spin of each needed shot.
