Lee Trevino Sequence

[hg]

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.

I am assuming part of the reason he has so much right arm bend at impact is how much he has lowered coming into impact?

The head dropping into impact seems to be a common component of most golf swings on the tour, not sure if thats a component in the book or not?

If an Elbow Plane Swinger Engineered his Address Position to include an On Plane Right Elbow and Forearm, would he need to Drop His Head for 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.

Ok, so setup is slightly above then at impact you have to move down some, got it.

So if you set up with the right forearm on plane, does this put the elbow on plane?

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.

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

According to David Pelz' statistics, Lee Trevino was the single most precise and consistent ball striker.

If I recall correct I think his typical error marging on long shots was 5% while the average pro was 7-8%.

I also think Hogan has been quoted to say that Trevino was the purest ball striker.

And I also think that Trevinos stroke pattern has something to do with his precision.

"Hitting can be quite accurate". Yoda, to himself after he hit a flagstick on the range some 160 yards away for the second time in five minutes. November 2009 Cuscowilla. He'd go on to hit two more times that day.
