The club's position past parallel is due to an arm-shaft angle that is considerably more acute than the norm, probably because of Hogan's open left wrist position at the top. You'll notice, though, that his arms don't outrun his turn on the way back--that is, they don't keep going once the turn has stopped.

Ben was very flexible, and he wasn't much past parallel, certainly not in a way that disconnected his arms from his turn. Also, if you'll look at some youtube vids of him with irons, you'll see just how compact he was with the other clubs. Now, _earlier_ in his career, he was way past parallel, and it hurt him--very much uncontrolled.

Bringing it past parallel isnt an issue if the left arm remains firm and the shoulders turn past 90 degree. But yes, for most people who are not as supple going past parallel is a nono He brings it past parallel but he doesnt lose control.

Admired the time he spent on "Misery Hill." It's great to see his swing on here. I've been "coming over the top" a lot on the course and getting into all sorts of trouble. Currently working on bumping that left hip forward just before the top of the backswing. As soon as I do that, ball striking instantly improves. Still missing left but nearly not as bad.
