Lee Trevino

[tobell]

I've studied Trevino to the point of being concerned that he was going to seek restraining order to keep me away--only 1/2 kidding. He illustrates stloc better than any player I've ever seen. His irons on sole heavy, his grip is very passive--always monitoring, his pivot is very active and smooth, and his shaft lean @ impact is very forward. By the way, he is anything but merry.

Why does he "supinate" (Hogan definition) his left wrist so much?

West Texas hardpan will do that to ya Channelback.

The only way to make solid contact is to drag or push the leading edge past impact...like a bulldozer y'all.

I love pic #9 and #10, face on sequence. Wonderful stuff there.

I'm with you man! My 10-2-D buddy! So give us more details about your Trevino stalking . . . have you boiled any rabbits in his crib or anything? I have heard he can be less than merry too. I think he's got the best alignments out there.

Leading the witness . . . do you think the shaft lean and stloc could be a result of his grip?

Let's hear some gruesome details man!

After about the fourth day of watching every ball Mr. Trevino struck both on the range and the course, his caddy, Herman grew tired of me and really blasted me. I never uttered a word the entire time. It was kinda of funny, Herman pulled the wrong club on a par three, Lee hit it pure--but long. Lee really let Herman have it, and Herman then gave it to me. He questioned my man-hood, which considering my fixation with his boss was completely understandable. The next day it made the Philadelphia Inquirer, something to the effect that Lee blasted Herman. Bell Atlantic Classic--Senior Tour, Chester Valley CC, around 1993 or so.

Anyway around to his move. He sort of traps his irons and they do sound resonant. His downward stike is unmistakeable. Hitter, swinger, switter, it's hard to say --he's got a alot of elements working. One thing for certain he uses a very heavy wet mop!

Hitter elements:
1- PP#3 on meat of index finger
2- Carry-back on his figure 8 backswing
3- Stable right shoulder @ startdown

Swinger elements:
1- Very soft passive hands
2- Float loading
3- Lots of CF is let go causing some serious throwout to low point.
4- Lots of pivot--though it's delayed.

Tobell,

You are solid my friend. I'm sure Herman would have been cussing me too. I would pimpstrut on hot black tar barefoot to see Lee Buck work his magic. If that's coming out of the closet, well I'm ready to redecorate and start ironing stuff.

Lee Buck's alignments are pure.

What is/was your motion Hitter Swinger Switter?
