Maybe you meant there was no thought, its about the only way to make it simplier!!! LOL

What were the 2 things Hogan thought about? Do you think about anything?

It seems that you have read how simple I have made my back swing, my down swing thought, hit the ball, seriously that is all I think about. If I am trying to hit a draw I consciously rotate my left forearm, but for a fade or straight shot I dont think of it.

according to ledbetter
"Hogan said repeatedly that, while playing, he thought of only two things regarding the downswing: He thought of starting the hips first, and of hitting the ball as hard as possible with the body, arms and hands, in that sequence. He felt that not much could go wrong for the golfer who produced the correct sequence of events during the swing"
