Send us a text We unpack how John Erickson decoded Ben Hogan’s real mechanics and turned them into a trainable system that manages shaft pressure, not poses.

Send us a text John Erickson, father of Advanced Ball Striking, reveals how he cracked the Hogan code by examining the science behind Ben Hogan's legendary ball striking technique. • Heavy club heads (around 16 ounces compared to modern 10-11 ounce drivers) helped Hogan generate power through body rotation rather than arm speed • Flat lie angles (6-8 degrees flatter than standard) provided greater accuracy by reducing the possibility of left misses • "Tripping the shaft" at transition create...
