"I Wish I Had Three Right Hands" - Ben Hogan

Jimmy Ballard breaks down Ben Hogan's famous quote, 'I wish I had three right hands,' explaining how the golf swing relies on an underhanded tossing motion. Ballard details how Hogan utilized a connected left side, active lower body, and ground forces to generate power into impact. Golfers will learn how to shift and rotate properly from the ground up for a more explosive downswing.

• Treat the downswing as an underhanded tossing motion rather than an aggressive hit with the hands.
• Maintain a connected left side to allow the powerful right side to fire freely without losing control.
• Engage the ground from the feet up, loading into the trail side and pushing off to initiate the downswing transition.
