DoubleG Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Is this a photo of Ben actually swinging? Or is he demonstrating/practicing a drill? The position he is in, in this photo, appears different from many of the other shots of him at this stage in his swing. Also, he appears to have a club on the ground behind his right foot with 2 balls lined up along the shaft. Did he just drop it there or is he using it as a reference point of some kind?

Blade Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Doesn't look like a real swing for sure. I really doubt anyone would be standing in front of him to take a picture if he was actually hitting a ball either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbealsd Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Judging by all the balls in front of his left foot, he's obviously on the range. I suspect he's demonstrating "something" for the crowd.

GolfSpy Barbajo Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 He might be trying to fire a ball at the camera man-- Mr. Hogan didn't like being bothered while on the range...

Kenny B Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 His stance looks open, left toe angled out quite a bit, and he appears to be holding the club off. So, my guess is a lob or high cut shot. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call - I remember watching Seve hit lob shots with a 3-iron in a similar manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaidJacket Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I thinks he's showing the spectators how they swing with a reverse-pivot.

Bogey in The Woods Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yes, Im sure he is demonstrating "something". However, what do you believe the "something" is, that he is demonstrating? As I see it: We all know that he was a visionary. I believe, , that he was such a visionary, that he took a funny looking swing for the camera just because he knew 50 years or so into the future, a bunch of guys would sit and try to figure out just what in the H*** he was doin. But if I am wrong, I pray he wasnt trying to hit a cut shot. Seeing as I hit a cut shot (read SLICE) every time, I pray I dont look like that when I swing. and if THAT isnt right, I dont think he was swinging at all. I think he was setting up to hit and then Gene Sarazen threw a ball at him. The blur of the club is him trying to get it to the ground so he doesnt fall over......
