What is the Magic in Lee Trevino's Golf Swing?

Lee Trevino certainly didn't take the traditional route to becoming a great PGA Tour Golfer. The "Merry Mex" did not grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth so he had to learn golf the hard way...Lee Trevino found his swing in the Mexican dirt with long and hard practice sessions.

Lee certainly has a great understanding of the golf swing. His golf swing is far from classic as he reroutes his golf club on the way down...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 clich?nd 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.

For some reason most recreational golfers feel they need to help the golf ball go up by flipping their hands at impact...if there ever was a move in the golf swing that robs you of power, this is it. Lee Trevino says the key to making solid contact with the golf ball is to visualize the club face as being the back of your left hand as you swing the club. 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. You will notice your golf ball has a much more flatter, penetrating ball flight. Your golf ball will have a higher trajectory and it will go a lot further.

Try it...it works!

Hit 'em Long and Straight!

"These are not the droids you are looking for", while quoted from Obi-Wan Kenobi, these may as well be the same words you hear from the toy store clerk when you ask to see their line up of Star Wars Lego sets. Rare Star Wars Lego sets are better off sought online instead of having to go through every single toy store in the state, and it is a good as a lead from Dex. Of course, if you can spare some galactic credits, you should also consider visiting toy conventions such as the ones held in San Diego each year.

Indisputably one of the key figures in American literature, Mark Twain trivia should be of interest to anyone who is studying American fiction in any form. The most obvious piece of information about Twain is widely known, although several have still not yet heard it. That is that Mark Twain was in fact as pseudonym, and that the writer of such legendary books as "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" was in fact born as Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Clemons was born in Missouri, and although he was originally born in the town of Florida, it would be a later home, Hannibal, that would have the largest impact on him. A Tom Sawyer quiz shows that both "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn" were set...
