Product Description
Ben Hogan In Pursuit Of Perfection...A Must For Any Golf Library! In 1967 an Atlanta resident Clem Darracott, read that this was to be Ben Hogan's last Masters in Augusta. He was an ordinary man with an extraordinary hero...and an 8mm home movie camera. Clem arrived at Augusta on the second day of the practice rounds, hoping for a shot of Hogan. What happened next exceeded his expectations. Ben Hogan allowed Clem to roll the film and step inside the ropes. Hogan, the man who never allowed himself to see film of his performances, permitted this amateur to take footage on the practice range and follow him out on the course. Ben Hogan: In Pursuit Of Perfection DVD features: Years later Darracott made the home movie into a video See the movie like it was in all its charm and home spun style No Hollywood slickness -just Hogan through the eyes, and camera, of a true fan Decipher one of the classic swings of all time Gain valuable instructions to improve your own swing Available in color DVD format Running length: 23 minutes Footnote: During the 1967, Masters Ben Hogan, who was 54 years old at the time, shot a remarkable third round 66. Known as The Hawk, Hogan described his back nine score of 30 as possibly the best nine holes he ever played. A Collector's Item For Every Ben Hogan Enthusiast!

 Excellent Video; Commentator Not So Good September 14, 2009
G. Stamatis (Pearl, MS United States)
The video's of Hogan's swings are priceless. The full speed swings at the beginning are what make it worth while. Far too many stop action swings and the commentary is of very little value. Playing it with the sound off is much preferred.
 Seeing Hogan's swing is worth the money April 17, 2009
Robert Laragh (New York, NY)
The DVD is not cheap, but it is worth it. Seeing Hogan's swing repeated so many times is fantastic. My main complaint is that there are too many in slow motion and not enough at full speed -- I think the full speed ones at the beginning are the most valuable. Also the music and narration can be a bit grating if you watch the DVD over and over, but you always have the option to turn off the sound. And the fact that I've watched it so many times is an indication of how valuable I think the video is.
Treat, BUT March 4, 2009
No Nonsense (Bakersfield, CA)
There is so little available footage of Hogan swinging so to the extent of the video portion, this dvd is indeed a treat for any Hogan fan. However, as a golf instructor, I suggest turning off the volume so as not to be distracted or misled by Mr. Darracott's overly complex, presumtive, inaccurate and rather sophomoric "analysis."

A close analysis of these films proved without a doubt what John Schlee taught me to be Ben Hogan's secret was indeed the real deal. I can see it as plain as the nose on my face. My own DVD "On Target Power" and my book, "The Secret to a Great Golf Swing" reveal just what Hogan did to be the greatest ball striker.
