Hogan

I don't understand. Ben Hogan is still acknowledged to be the most accurate ball-striker of all time. Not the longest hitter, but a master of controlled power.
He wrote the book, Modern Fundamentals of Golf, in the mid-50s, when he had virtually retired. It's a complete guide to swinging the club as he did. And yet, it's not recognized as the ultimate method. Instead, we hear about "The Plane Truth", "Tour Tempo", "Stack and Tilt" (or is that shake and bake)?
Oh wait, I DO UNDERSTAND. If Hogan's method is the best, then no one could expect to write a golf book that would sell.
