Anytime you are having problems with your golf swing or ball flight look up Lee Trevino golf tips on TH-cam and he will get you straightened out. One of the all time best ball strikers. Just watch his action through the ball and you'll see a swing so efficient and repeatable that we would all be better off swinging like Lee. A little unorthodox because he is pretty much self taught and grew up playing on more dirt than grass so his swing had to be flatter but man he hits that ball so cleanly its a pleasure to watch!
@@golfright When I watched him at our Tour stop in New Orleans in the 70's, his ball striking always amazed me...even Ben Hogan knew it..whenever Hogan's company needed someone to test a new model Apex iron out, Mr Hogan would always sent some to the driving range where Lee worked in Dallas for him to test them out...
Lee has changed his setup as he has aged. He is no longer open but closed as he states here, he still loops the club up and then back on plane without that huge right side bend that he had. I would love to have been on the range with him. Good guy - thanks Lee.
Great practical advice from the master ball striker. Ball forward is a swing killer. It weakens the grip and steepens the swing. The great British teaching professional John Jacobs fixed many swings using the same advice Lee is giving in this excellent video.
@@johnmule9419 I thought my point was pretty clear. Trevino's specifically saying to never do something and yet Hogan and Nicholas would tell you to always do something that is the exact same thing. So who do you listen to? Do you base it on who's a better player? That's the problem with golf tips
@@jacobr4558 Agree. Golf "tips" are never complete. That's why most instructional books do more harm than good. It's up to you to decide what works best for your game. I personally would rather take the advice of someone (like Mr Jacobs) that was recognized as one of the greatest teachers the game has ever known I only mentioned that Lee was agreeing with Mr. Jacobs advice. It's not a question of basing advice on who is the better player - it's a question of what fits your individual game the best. You have to decide that.
It's basically just generic information. Some people can come upward at impact While others can go more around While others can actually feel like they're going downward. It all depends on how the person swings. There is no one way
@@bingohhhhhhhhhhhh actually that's funny cuz my point completely stands. I didn't say anything about him being a good or a bad ball striker. I said in this video this information is completely generic because it is. It's part of the problem with golf "instruction." There is a reason professionals get private instruction for extended periods of time. It's not just a bunch of little tips and tricks. Not to mention in this video he's telling you a bunch of things not to do that you can absolutely do. So he's limiting the minds of the people trying to learn how to play this game as to what is possible. On the other hand though he's not even giving you the exact things to do he'll give you two out of 50 things. So this information is limiting what you think is possible and also not helping you realize what you should be doing. This would be the equivalent of a champion teaching you chess with just a bunch of generic information. "Occupy the center", NEVER move the F pawn, Dont castle too early/late(but do it just right), dont sacrifice pieces etc. It's a bunch of generic information with no context and no clarity
@@jacobr4558 Fair enough, we have different takes on this. When I was first learning the game I was able to get around some tour pros that would give me swing advice and it was not really obvious what they were saying because, let's face it, they're not teachers, they're players. So, I'd look at what they might really be "trying" to say, but it was jumbled in the mix, somewhat obtuse, again because it was not their thing to have this smooth teaching presentation like so many great instructors do these days. But to me, it was worth the time to try to extract the message because, again they're incredible players and some of it was invaluable. I also think that Trevino, coming from a highly individual approach, swing, and lineage in the game, was talking specifically about his own approach, so that's where the "you can't do this, you must do that" comes from. He's abrupt and not really caring about who he's telling this to or how, like a pro teacher would -- which in the latter case it would be all about the student's game, certainly not the teacher's. Just a different side of learning and how it's presented and what you might potentially get out of it.
Love the no BS honesty. A great man.

My favorite instructor!
He is one of the best, he simplifies everything and makes it easy to understand/remember.

Thanks, Mr. Trevino! Great insights!
Good stuff💪🏾⛳💪🏾
Listen! He knows what he is talking about.
Great lesson
Lee doesnt look like he breaks his wrists. Its crazy but he smashed it
He's a holder, doesn't release like many of the pros and that is one reason why he was a great shot maker.

Funny cause Hogan and Nickolaus played every shot off their left heel 🤔
@@jacobr4558 They were slightly more talented than you and I...and everyone else...
@@johnmule9419 so is Trevino

Jack Nicklaus called Trevino the best ballstriker of all time. What did Jack call you?
@@bingohhhhhhhhhhhh Jack Nicklaus said I was the coolest person he has ever met.
