I adore to listen to Lee Trevino speak about the golf swing. If there ever was a self-produced man, Lee is definitely it! The Merry-Mex discovered golf the hard way, sneaking onto golf courses and caddying when he was young. He practiced lengthy and difficult when he was a young man in Mexico diligently honing his craft.

Lee definitely 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 extremely 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 effect.

When I lastly figured out what Lee Trevino was speaking about it created a tremendous effect on how solidly I started to strike the ball. I know this is a clich and you possibly have heard it a million times, you must hit down on the golf ball to make it go up! Do you know what is genuinely happening when a golf ball is properly struck at impact? It took me 8 years prior to 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 energy, this is it. Lee likes to picture 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 strong move that keeps the golf club at a proper 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. Planet popular 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 appropriately? When you swing down on the ball at effect the golf ball really spins up the club face to the best grooves. This is what the grooves in the club face are for...this is what gives the golf ball spin. How do you believe pro golfers stop the ball on a dime on the green? They are utilizing much more of the grooves on the club face than amateurs. Golfers who flip the club face at influence are only utilizing the bottom grooves on the club face...the result a weak, flat trajectory with tiny spin...Their left wrist has entirely broken down at influence.

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 exactly where the left wrist has broken down. This bowed left wrist allows a late effective 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 begin your downswing. This psychological image forces you to swing from the inside and retain the release deep into the downswing. The ball will start off sounding diverse coming off your club face due to the fact 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 increased trajectory and it will go a lot additional.

Attempt it...it functions!

Hit 'em Extended and Straight!
