Hogan’s Secret? Revealed.
By C. B. Maxwell

If you are like most golfers, you have read the legendary Ben Hogan’s book, Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf, which I believe is the biggest-selling golf instruction book of all time. Now there is a new book to add to your collection that will give you some amazing new insights into Hogan’s lessons and the secret that has been discussed for years: The Final Missing Piece of Ben Hogan’s Secret Puzzle.

Authors V. J. Trolio and Dave Hamilton are the golf professional and engineering team who created the Putting Arc, the most popular putting training device on Tour. As word catches on that you can finally put together all the pieces from Five Lessons, their book is sure to be a best-seller.

Many people believe that Hogan left out a vital key or two when he wrote Five Lessons. The Final Missing Piece solves the puzzle. If you have used Hogan’s tips for your golf swing in the past, this will bring you full circle. Now, the only question that remains is: can you successfully deploy this “new” move? After reading the book, I believe the answer is Yes.

Trolio and Hamilton deliver with never-before-seen photos taken AFTER Hogan’s auto accident that make it evident he had discovered something during his recovery that he didn’t use BEFORE the accident. For those who don’t know their golf history, Hogan played the best golf of his career after a life-threatening car crash.

Hogan was no more than 5′ 8″ tall and 170 pounds. With repaired but still-damaged legs, a balata ball, and persimmon driver, he could drive the ball as far as today’s tour players on demand (300 yards)! How could such a small guy put that much force and leverage on a golf ball? The answer to that question is thoroughly explained in this 90-page book.

Hogan was often asked about his secret. He would say it is in Five Lessons (and in his swing) “if I tell you where to look.” Well, in The Final Missing Piece, the authors tell us where to “look.”

Dave Hamilton (Cornell University, Engineering) holds seven golf-related patents and shows us the math behind this “move.” It’s not necessary to understand any of it to implement the secret, but it is cool that they included this “proof.”

For more than 50 years the “secret” of Hogan has remained a mystery waiting to be discovered, and now it has been. If you are serious about your golf, you owe it to yourself to get this book and add to your intimate knowledge of one of the game’s greatest players.
