Lee Buck's Flail
 

How do you get this . . .









By starting from here . . .





I mean at Top his Left Arm Flying Wedge is so out of line it is unreal. But It sure does look like he gets the shaft back in line with the Left Arm somehow . . . At the top the but of the club is almost as far out of line with the left arm as it could be. With that turned left hand his left wrist would really have to have some bend in it to get the shaft in line. But it seems that he gets it back in line on the way down. It would be really difficult to uncock it from that top position.

Don't get me wrong I think Lee was the best ball striker to ever lace up a pair of Footjoys. But he had a flickdid Top alignment . . . through the ball . . . pure as the driven snow. You have to wonder if he could have won a green jacket though if he had let that left wrist bend some at the top . . . of course we probably would have never heard of him then too.

I wish the magazines would give old Lee some props. I'd love to see an updated instruction book from him and a Swing Vision would be AWESOME!!!

Colonel,

Looks like the club is in plane with the left wristcock to me. With the wood, we have a very convex left wrist, but with an equally "closed" clubface. Look at the difference with the iron...far more congruent with what "everybody wants to see". Other points of interest, look at the hip slant at the top, see the level, bent right wrist...and rhythm (I reckon').

EC, are you a ghost from the past???

Agreed . . . the iron pic is better to look at. With the wood though . . . looks like he'd have to make some sort of move to uncock to full lever extension. Am I missing something?

Ghost of X-mas Past.

Durant looks like that at the top too.....so do I, somehow I am not as good a ballstriker as those two...must be missing the secret :)

Actually, less of a move with the wood. A severely convex left wrist is pretty close to uncocked already. Bow your left wrist and try to cock it.
