Lately, I have become fascinated by the swing of Lee Trevino, primarily because he is reputed to be one of the all-time great ball strikers, and because he figured out a way to whack it hard without going left. I found a copy of the vhs tape Volume 3 of "Lee's Priceless Golf Tips," but there is not enough meat in it to give me a true picture of what's going on. I am wondering if what he does is adaptable to a hitting procedure. And, if what he does could be done with a more neutral grip adn without destroying one's back. Lastly, I wonder if any of the LBG members has a video that could be posted for someone's astute analysis.

I have a copy of Lee Buck vs. Fat Jack Shell's Wonderful World of Golf on DVD. Lee Buck is the BEST. If someone can tell me how to do it, I'll put some stuff up. I have a dvd player on my 'puter.
I would love to read an analysis with references by Dr. Collards. I'm just on a dirt road when it comes to the internet super-highway. Give me some instructions and I'll put the video up.

uh, if that's a commercial copyrighted/protected dvd you are going to have to rip out the video (using special software) and it is likely to be pretty big and probably less than legal to upload it...

Tried it. . . took FOREVER! 2 hours later . . . gave up.

perhaps, although there can be an exception for 'fair use' and 'educational purposes'

Annikan might have some pics. He's got pics of everyone. I'd be glad to comment on them, if someone has them. I do love the motion of the Merry Mex. Joe Inman told me once that Lee's sound at impact was unmistakeable and different than most.

Unmistakeable and very MEMORABLE! In 1965 or 66 (yup..roughly 40 years ago)I attended what was then the Ford Thunderbird at Westchester CC. I had passes for the whole week (golf wasn't as popular then as now). I saw Jack, Arnie, Tommy Bolt, Doug Sanders, Homero Blancas, a young Kermit Zarley, Bob Murphy, Sam Snead... a whole slew of guys including Lee Buck. Everyday we got there pretty early and went to the practice tee and then afterwards we tried to stop at the practice tee again... I only saw Lee Buck Trevino hit balls ONCE in person on the practice tee and I have never heard that sound again in my life. I can't recall who won the Ford Thunderbird that year... but I can recall that sound.
In the ensuing years I have been to many other tournaments and watched VJ, Tiger, Daly, Mickelson ...you name it...they don't make that sound.
