Was Ben Hogan Wrong About Shot Shaping?
Episode description
This episode tackles a classic Ben Hogan quote: “You only hit a straight ball by accident… so you’d better make it go one way or the other.”
We break down what that really means, and whether trying to shape every shot is actually helping your game or quietly widening your dispersion. Using real launch monitor data, on-course experience, and some ball-flight physics, we explore why tighter shot patterns matter more than how the ball curves in the air.
