In 1954, Ben Hogan stated in the serialized lessons he wrote for Life magazine that he had “a secret.” He challenged the world to find it by stating “It is easy to see if I tell you where to look.” He then wrote his legendary instructional book, Five Lessons, and created a remarkable golf swing puzzle, but somehow one important piece of information was missing. Golf expert after golf expert have attempted to define this secret over the years, serving to compile a rather lengthy list of what they think the secret is but never quite explaining how it’s done. Enter Ben Hogan’s Magical Device, a revealing book which intends to finally explain, in universally understandable terms, that long-lost secret to Hogan’s swing. $11.58

The golf club frame worked exactly like I wanted it to, except the clips are made of regular plastic. When I used the product the first time the temperature was in the low 40’s. Three of the plastic clips broke. If they would use metal clips or clips made of some other type plastic that wasn’t so brittle in cold weather it be great. I called the company and tried to purchase new clips but they do not sell them. In defense of the company,they sent me a new carrier at no charge. The clips are not riveted on, they are attached with screws so they can be replaced easily if the clips were available.

As a musician, a metronome is perhaps the second most important piece of equipment after the actual instrument itself. So many flaws are caused by incorrect timing, rushing, lagging etc…with a metronome it is virtually impossible to have those flaws as the click makes you focus through the swing. Be warned: This is not a quick fix. It will take patience and perseverance! Much like playing scales on a guitar. You can’t crank the metronome to 200BPM and expect to shred it up automatically. It requires a slow methodical approach with steady consistent gains in tempo over time.
