The Fundamentals of Hogan eBook David Leadbetter
Leadbetter is of course one of the most famous instructors in the world of golf, ever. Here he takes Hogan's book "Five Lessons," which he and pretty much everybody relevant considers to be the foundational touchstone of modern golf swing instruction, and illustrates some slight modifications to consider for the average player. One must remember that Hogan himself was, although not a "big" man in physical stature, was truly an extraordinary athlete with a body molded meticulously for golf, and Hogan made his swing for himself specifically... which doesn't negate its power as THE fundamental swing, but not everybody has the twist, the thumbs, etc., that Hogan had.So, yes, the Leadbetter book gave me "permission" to modify slightly to fit my own body and has been an extremely valuable aid, but it is NOT a replacement for Hogan. Hogan's book should be digested FIRST, and then reviewed under Leadbetter's guidance.

The Fundamentals of Hogan eBook David Leadbetter Reviews
After reading Ben Hogan five lessons this book only added to the developement of Hogan's theories about the proper swinging of the golf club and brought it up to date.
Not a huge Leadbetter book, but this is the best golf instruction book ever published.
Fantastic book with very descriptive pictures ) HOGAN is also a LEGEND
great book
This a fantastic book for pictures of Hogan demonstrating his swing techniques taken for the illustrations in the "Five Lessons". Leadbetter makes a very detailed analysis of Hogan's swing and some interesting observations between what Hogan said in his book and how he actually swung. A must for every Hogan fan.
However, as soon as Leadbetter starts giving his own "My Views", watch out. In "The Plane Truth for Golfers", Jim Hardy differentiates between the one plane (Hogan, Snead) and the two plane (Leadbetter). All of Leadbetter views on how to improve on Hogan's swing are two plane ideas which Hardy points out are disastrous for the one plane swing. Read Five Lessons and this book for Hogan's swing and forget all the sections labelled "My Views" or you will be swinging the golf club like David Leadbetter, not like Ben Hogan!
5 stars for Ben Hogan; 3 stars for David Leadbetter.
This is an indepth analysis and interpretation of Hogan's perspective of the golf swing by the best modern teacher alive today. Leadbetter's view clarifies and adjusts Hogan's teachings to modern times eloquently. This book is not for the faint of heart wishing to better understand the essential and detailed bio-mechanics of the golf swing. I would suggest his other books and/or DVD's to get started.
With respect, I disagree with Mr. Leadbetter's thoughts on Hogan's own hooking remedies, his grip changes and the "secret" cupping of the wrist to open the club face at the top. Early in Hogan's career he had an extremely long backswing, prompted by an extremely long hip turn. The result coming down was a very active lower body to compensate for a latent upper body. The club face would arrive from the outside and closed causing the snap-hook under pressure he hated. As his swing became more compact he was able to control it's action much better. D.L. touches on this but emphasizes the different grip and the wrist cupping as Hogan's "cure".
I also disagree with D.L.'s thoughts on moving the head back laterally with longer clubs. It's OK as long as it returns to the same position at address. Just another unnecessary variable IMHO. The head is the fulcrum of the swing. Keep it there.
Don't buy this thinking you'll find "lightening in a bottle". The golf swing takes study, focus and discipline to learn how to properly execute. As Hogan believed, anyone can break 80, even if they devote one-tenth the time he did to being one of the greatest students of the swing and players of all time.
Worth it for the pics alone. David leadbetter has some great tips in here on how to adjust the grip. Where Hogan wanted the user to experiment from his base of knowledge, Leadbetter does a better job of explaining how changes may change your swing. Example - He assumes Hogan lined his left thumb up parallel to club face and kept a short thumb to compensate for his known draw/hook. He explains that a stronger grip might be better for the average player with a tendancy to fade/slice. Then there are drills he ads to help the reader. Pics of Hogan are the prime benefit to this book. The illistrations from 5 fundementals were good, the pictures are great!!
