This sequence is for Yoda and Bucket's affection for Lee Buck's down the plane right shoulder move...it is very cool and with all that bent right arm at impact.
Would he need to? No, I don't believe so by the geometry...
But most certainly do on the tour. Some more than others but there is definitely a compression downwards.
Most guys on tour dont have their Right Elbow On Plane at Address but they do at Impact. Hence the "compression" look it requires a repositioning of the Left Shoulder.
I love the way he takes his Right Shoulder Down Plane there..... Thats a TSP and then a shift back to the Elbow Plane maybe.
Was he Four Barrel then? Not the longest of Hitters.

I think he was 100% hitter and drove that right arm crossline per 2-J-3. He talked about aiming left, strong grip and swinging right......isn't that pretty much right out of the book? I know he liked to play the ball back and play a push fade, not exactly a distance maneuver for many reasons.

Hah, what was it he used to say......."aim left , swing right , walk straight" something like that.
I think the camera is maybe set up square to his foot line there. He'd take it back outside and then loop it down low and inside then Angled Hinge it. Hitters top given his arched left wrist, but a ton of #2 Angle late into Release so he wasnt a classic Three Accumulator Hitter, Drive Loader, Sweep Releaser I dont think. He smacked Down hard and the ball would whistle past you , low but climbing like a jet taking off and then fall to the right.
I saw him once kick up a grass tee like you would in school yard football , then hit a driver super low that ran and ran and ran....... weird. That was way back, Canadian Open in Montreal in the 70's. I used to follow him when ever I could back then. His fade was notable but I didnt think he was that short at the time.
I read once that Lee received some swing advice from Hogan back in his early years on tour. Does anyone know what it was?

Amazing to see how much waist bend he added. Interesting . . . thanks for putting that up! Sweet.
