Editorial Reviews:
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.
As a lifelong golfer with 50+ years of experience, two degrees in Physical Education and a Doctorate in History, author Ted Hunt became determined to track down Hogan’s secret himself. He reviewed most of the literature concerning Hogan and interviewed many professionals (including Jack Nicklaus) and the result of his research produced a clearer understanding of the source of the confusion concerning Hogan’s secret. An hypothesis was conceived and tested, and Hunt was pleased to discover that his analysis stood up to critical examination. But perhaps more importantly, his golf responded with more accuracy and lower scores, which included shooting his age (79) several times within weeks of embracing the secret.
Complete with 100 photos/illustrations and a foreword by movie star Sean Connery, Ben Hogan's Magical Device gives an easy-to-follow explanation of Hogan’s secret, where it comes from, and the foundations which support its successful execution. Interspersed throughout the text are stories from professional acquaintances who spoke with Hunt about their times with Mr. Hogan.

A Golf Book one can acutally use to get better Sep 06, 2010
This is the real deal. I'm suprised at the number of luke warm reviews this book has received all over the internet. As a low HDCP golfer - I can tell you that the information in this book is spot on. Granted the instruction of what you really need to know is only in about 1/5th of the book's pages but the rest of the book is very well written and sets the stage for the reader to understand the 1/5th that really matters. If you follow the instructions in this book (if you are strong enough to implement the advice), then you will lower your scores.
Nothing special Aug 02, 2010
I was very un-impressed with this book by Ted Hunt. I've been a fan of Ben Hogan and read every book by him and several others about him. Most of the illustrations in the book contradict what Ben Hogan mentioned in those he authored. My summary: There is no 'Magical Device' in this book and you'll be better off with other books on the subject of Ben and his secret.
Very interesting and instructional Apr 09, 2010
I found this book both interesting to read and informational regarding Hogan's magical device. It helped my swing, set up and result, from putting, pitching and driving.
I also learned quite a bit about Ben that I didn't previously know.
as close as it gets Dec 28, 2009
I believe this gentleman has hit on 95% of the secret the other 5% was taken to the grave. I found the book to be informative clearing up some of the beliefs of Ben Doyle and Ike Handy and many others who conform to the teachings of the Golfing Machine written by Homer Kelley. The main point of hitting the ball with a concave right wrist(dorsal flexion) with the left wrist bowed into a convex position(palmar flexion) is what most high speed pioctures of PGA pros dipicts. The difficulty that arises is being able to do just that. Their are suggested drills in the book that will help create your ability to hit the ball as the author describes....A very good treatise on the Hogan secret and description of what elite golfers do at impact
FOR THE GOLFER WHO WANTS SERIOUSLY TO BREAK 80 Nov 14, 2009
I'VE READ MOST EVERYTHING WRITTEN ABOUT HOGAN AND I FIND THAT THIS BOOK IS VERY IN TOUCH WITH ALL THAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT THE GOLF SWING FROM HOGAN'S VIEW BUT THIS BOOK DOES TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER IN A VERY SIMPLE YET POWERFUL FORM.. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BREAK 80 FOR SURE AFTER READING AND PUTTING INTO ACTION ALL THAT IS IN THIS BOOK.
