Tips from Lee Trevino by Jess Pruitt
I love to listen to Lee Trevino talk about the golf swing. If there ever was a self-made man, Lee is certainly it! The Merry-Mex learned golf the hard way, sneaking onto golf courses and caddying when he was young. He practiced long and hard when he was a young man in Mexico diligently honing his craft.
Lee certainly has a great understanding of the golf swing. Lee’s swing is a bit unorthodox as he reroutes the club on the downswing…not a conventional golf swing to say the least. One thing Lee Trevino understands very well is how the golf ball responds to the club face at impact….which is the only thing the golf ball cares about. Do you think the golf ball cares about how your swing looks? All it knows is what is happening at impact.
When I finally figured out what Lee Trevino was talking about it made a tremendous impact on how solidly I began to strike the ball. I know this is a cliché and you probably have heard it a million times, you must hit down on the golf ball to make it go up! Do you know what is really happening when a golf ball is well struck at impact? It took me 8 years before I figured this out…and it was Lee who finally explained it to me.
Most golfers “flip” the club face at the ball in a futile attempt to make the ball go up…if there ever was a move in the golf swing that robs you of power, this is it. Lee likes to imagine the back of his left hand is the club face while he is swinging. On the down swing he imagines “trapping” the back of his left hand into the back of the ball…an incredibly powerful move that keeps the golf club at a right angle with the left arm deep into the downswing. “Hit the back of the ball with the back of the left hand” is Lee’s mantra. World famous golf swing guru Butch Harmon says he likes to feel like he has Bethlehem Steel in his left wrist at impact.
So what happens to the golf ball at impact when it is struck correctly? When you swing down on the ball at impact the golf ball actually spins up the club face to the top grooves. This is what the grooves in the club face are for…this is what gives the golf ball spin. How do you think pro golfers stop the ball on a dime on the green? They are using more of the grooves on the club face than amateurs. Golfers who flip the club face at impact are only utilizing the bottom grooves on the club face…the result; a weak, flat trajectory with little spin…Their left wrist has completely broken down at impact.
Watch the golf pros left wrist at impact…most of them have a bowed left wrist at impact…the opposite of the golfers who flip at the ball where the left wrist has broken down. This bowed left wrist allows a late powerful release into the golf ball…the secret to tremendous power off the tee.
Next time you go to the range, think “Back of Left Wrist Into Back of Ball” as you start your downswing. This mental image forces you to swing from the inside and retain the release deep into the downswing. The ball will start sounding different coming off your club face because you will now be hitting the golf ball the way the club was designed to strike a golf ball. Your golf ball will have a higher trajectory and it will go a lot further.
Try it…it works!
Hit ‘em Long and Straight!
