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.
Can anybody say "extensor action"?... I knew you could!!!
FO #4, Here’s a Pivot Center Tripod, from one of the best ball strikers that ever lived. How’s this for a cleared Right Hip?
FO #3, Hula Hula.
FO, #7-10, don’t get in the way of that driving right arm. It looks like an exploding piston. Also, his right shoulder is deep enough to make plenty of right arm available.
FO #5 and #9, the left wrist certainly doesn’t look to be as arched at Impact as it was in Start Down.
FO #1, a Hitter starting at Standard Address?? The “middleman” address?? Heaven forbid! (8-3 & 12-1-0, #9-A, Standard)
FO #7-9, right shoulder looks like a “launching pad” to me, from which the right arm can drive. 4-D-1, “Hitters, especially, must learn to straighten the Right Arm without flattening the Right Wrist.” 7-1, “for the Hitter, the Right Triceps become “Active” and execute both Uncocking motions with a firmness that approaches the mandatory rigidity of the Right Wrist.”

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.

FO #10 & #11, Hitters, too, have a swivel.
Can you tell I like it???
I need a bib.
How about #7 and #3 the shaft is bi-secting the Right Forearm. This the Right Forearm Flying Wedge Poster Boy.
Don't tell Herman, but I did go both ways. Hit 8 thru putter, swinger Driver thru 7. I tended to l0-2-D the swings, and 10-2-B the hits, and Paul Runyon the putter. I find myself laughing at the dignified TGM terminology for what was in reality found by adrenalin and nicotine sawing thu the haze of nasty hangovers.. Golf was a sport played by men with nasty hangovers and a butt danglin, Palmer, Nicklaus, Trevino, Marr, Bahr, Chi-Chi, they all had butts danglin. Now it’s Nike and Underarmor, I miss the good ole daze.
Still photos do not capture the essence of Lee Buck’s motion. His wonderful figure 8 loop allowed him to deliver what may have been a 4 barrel hit. That straight right arm never appeared to be driven there, it was just all of sudden just there! It was as much pulled by CF, which was enhanced by his loop, as it was pushed by his right triceps.
his move is very good he liked the strong grip so he could controll it in the wind the only problem what that his face was shut on the downswing so he learned to fade it by pushing it out to the right. his feet are open to his target line he takes it back closed, on the downswing his face is closed say ten degrees so he just shifts his plane slightly more then ten degrees to the right on the downswing and whala a little fade. just remember any grip can work with the proper compensation, and his feet where alligned far enough left then when he shifted his plane to the right is was right where he was looking all along. if he where to line up square to the target and do his same move he would hit it right to right.
