this is a very interesting topic. Lee Buck was h-e-double-hockey-sticks on wheels with the short irons. I'm not sure that he would be as effective today considering the way the courses are set up with the longer clubs. According to his book he aimed the face LEFT and then tried to loop under and hit a pushy cut. That in conjunction with the turned left hand goes will with not "releasing the face" as he talks about in the video. So basically he had to get a bunch of shaft lean to A) get the face open so he didn't hit snipes and B) so he didn't have the face rotating shut and pulling the ball left. 10-2-D grips require NO ROLLING UNTIL AFTER SEPARATION. Any rolling with a face looking left and turned grip ='s snipe hook city. All that lean is great for hitting short clubs and low shots but not so much with 5 iron and up. I just wonder if he knew about Mr. Kelley's idea of taking the grip at Fix if he could have took some of that shaft lean requirement out and hit the long irons up in the air more?
