Product Description:
Praise 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

Rare is it to find a master in any field, much less golf, and Hogan was truly a master. To have Hogan's insights and knowledge passed on to us in such a cogent and clear fashion, as Bertrand and Bowler have done so well, is a true gift to the world of golf. Being a golf instructor myself, I can appreciate the search for wisdom and, once found, the hope that it can be passed on and be of benefit to students. Aside from providing an historical review of Hogan's times, including his fascinating later revelations, this book follows the dream of a young man (PGA Tour player John Schlee) to become the master's student. His dream miraculously comes true, and as it unfolds we are given a wealth of Hogan's priceless, hard-earned wisdom. There is much to be gleaned in these pages for anyone wanting to understand greatness and how important it is to not let its vestiges slip through the cracks. The book's technical information is tried and true and provides a very helpful framework to follow to improve one's golf swing and golf game. I truly enjoyed this book!

I enjoyed reading the very first part of this book. But then it started turning in to an advertisement for various products. I was disappointed.

The Secret of Hogans Swing
I will be sending this book back. If you really want to know the secret that Ben Hogan used to correct his hook read The Plane Truth for golfers Master class by Jim Hardy. The people who wrote this book seem not to have noticed when Hogan corrected his hook he no longer moved his right elbow in front of his hip. That is the move that caused the quick violent release that created his hook when his timing was off. I am a scratch player and full time instructor and use Jim Hardy's Plane Truth books to great advantage in my coaching and teaching. Don't waste your money or your time on this book unless ou want to develope a hook your self. Buy either of the Plane Truth books or get the Stack and Tilt information if you want to develope a strong modern move. Ths book is just Hogans fundimentals rewritten by someone else and who did't do enough research to get Hogans final swing correct.
Rated by buyers -
This book was a great idea, but it spends WAY too much time talking about these three other guys, as opposed to Ben. Read Hogan's own "Five Lessons" before you even consider this one.
There are a few nuggets, but like Rieflin says in another review, it's really more like a magazine article with a bunch of padding about the authors's 'research'. And it's still only 171 pages long.
You'll hit it further than 171 yards if you get Ben's book.

As a passionate golf "junkie" who has probably read every Hogan book written, I highly recommend Tom Bertrand's "The Secret of Hogan's Swing".
The book provides the clearest and most detailed explanation of the Hogan swing method. Each step of the swing is superbly illustrated and demonstrated with photographs.
I found it easy to learn and use the Hogan technique. However, I would recommend purchasing Tom Bertrand's Legendary Golf DVD Series. It's beautify done and easy to apply... a very powerful golf swing.
