Indeed one of the greatest, if not the greatest. His ball striking was thoroughly tested and proven through all the majors and pro tour tournaments won.
Nah....while it's undeniably great info, the chances of translating that info into real-world improvement are almost ZERO. Amateurs live in a fantasy world where we believe with every fiber of our being that better golf is just ONE or TWO pieces of information, or THIS or THAT training aid, or just the right tip......But it's an illusion. Once a golfer has ingrained his/her swing over 5-10 years the die is set. That's why the vast majority of golfers shoot the same scores at 50 that they did at 25. And I'm not making those numbers up. Just look at the handicaps published by the USGA. Improving significantly at golf after a few years of playing is so rare it's statistically insignificant.
Ha! All due respect to the man, but he says keep your left knee flexed to ward off a slice. Then, in slow motion, he snaps his left leg straight at impact. :D
Lee says to slow the left arm and it may work on the range for a shot or two, but is not the right fundamental to focus on. The over-fast arm swing in my opinion is from amateurs starting the downswing with their arms and upper body. Start the downswing from the ground up - feet, knees, and hips - and the arms won't get out of sequence. Amateurs try to generate speed with the arms, while good golfers generate it with a body turn and coil on the backswing, and weight and rotation on the downswing. The club is pulled along the path created by centrifugal force.
desertsun100 Trevino said pressure was playing $5 Nassau with $2 in your pocket. He grew up dirt poor and hustled his way to the penthouse. Great player.
"Left the fairway only to answer the phone"--that's a good one, and let me tell you, it's true. I saw him play in Austin in an exhibition on Legends week (with Chi Chi, Crenshaw and Kite), and I'm telling you, it was like an out-of-body experience. The other guys hit it just great, don't get me wrong, but Trevino's shots sounded different, the way people used to say about Hogan--such a shallow angle of approach, just flushing the back of that ball every time. It was surreal.
Ben Hogan use to let Trevino demo all his clubs before he put them out . When asked why Hogan said, Trevino was the best striker of the ball, that he trusted his feed back on the clubs. That's pretty bad ass if Hogan thinks your the best striker of the ball, with all the greats around in Trevino's era.
Or perhaps it was that Lee was the only one of the greats that he got along with. Hogan would not even call Arnie by name, no wonder he never thought to ask him about his(Hogans) clubs.
I read years ago that Gary Player asked Hogan's advice and Ben replied 'Do you play Hogan clubs?' Player replied 'No, Dunlop.' Hogan retorted 'Go ask Mr Dunlop'. I still have some 1970s Apex irons (retired). The sweet spot was the size of a dime.
He visited Alberta in the 80's for an exibition with 2 fine,young amateurs. Shot a course record 64 without playing the track before, giving advice and never stopped chatting it up all 18 holes. Remember it like it was yesterday🏌️♂️
Lee Trevino is awesome...I listen to his tips just to give me a great attitude for the day...how can you not be cheered up after listening to this guy!
back when pro golfers each had an individual "style." They all were good at impact but they each had their individual way of getting there. Now, for the most part, they're all golfing robots. I wish we had more uniqueness in golf swings like the past. I remember Jack, Hubert Green, Trevino, Watson, Gary Player, etc. all had STYLE!!
There is plenty of uniqueness. Wolff, Bryson, Furyk, Fowler, DJ, etc. Just have to open your eyes and quit being so stubborn with your back in my day mentality
When I was a kid growing up in San Antonio in the early 90's, my teachers would ask me if I was related to Lee Trevino the golfer. My name is Joseph Trevino, Lee's dads name LOL. No relation, or at least I think! But here I am, hitting my early 40's watching videos of "How To's" from no other than Lee Trevino. Serendipity.
There was B.Jones, Hogan, Trevino...and some here say Moe...but ironically IMO the most underrated and greatest ball striker is a tie between Jack, throughout his life, and Tiger for about 11 years (1997--2008). To hit range balls, or even to hit occasional great shots in tournaments is great, but Jack and Tiger actually made better shots under pressure than they would on the range...the bigger the tournament, and the more tasking the shot...the better the ball striking got.
Agreed. This is the only takeaway drill you need ( provided you have sound fundamentals ) lead shoulder IS the takeaway, keep it all together. Play well⛳️
There is a great story of Lee Trevino playing at the Hermitage Country Club many years ago and insulting everything about the course because the members did not let the pros full access to the range or something (it used to be a tour event). "This is the worst tee box I've ever seen...".
Trevino had a much different personality off the course than he did on the course, according to what one of the caddies told me. Many of the pros were the same.
Lee Buck Trevino is the all-time undefeated heavyweight champion of simplicity!! Including keeping the left hand facing the target with as little face manipulation as possible. No man since Ben Hogan understands the swing like this Mexican maestro. Which perfectly illustrates why a sound grip is so fundamental to great golf. Lee demonstrated this perfectly by showing the endless number of ways the club can twist in a players hands. Hold on firmly with the left hand with a grip that is not too strong. Explained in language a four year old could understand!! Better than instruction, by any teacher known to mankind.
He says dont look the left knee to hit a draw I'll show you, then totally lock out his left knee at impact in the slo motion🤣🤣🤣, boomers trying to teach golf is hilarious, they are legends of the game yet they still thought it was voodoo magic🤣
Wow. My dad found an old copy of this when I was a kid trying to learn golf. Spent summers going to the driving range trying to learn how to hit the ball. I literally knew the opening lines about amateurs trying to hook it. There's a part where he teaches you how to hit the ball low and I still use that tip to this day! The memories!
saw him in abilene texas at a now defunct senior tour event. the man actually hit a draw with a sand wedge into a left to right wind. yes,a sand wedge. try that some time.
horrible instruction. amazing ball striker, but this is like jimi Hendrix trying to teach guitar to a beginner. just because you have it instinctively doesn't mean you can pass it onto others who are nowhere near as gifted as you....
Agree. That's why most math teachers are horrible. They are the talented ones, not the ones that struggled; they can't understand normal people IMO. Talent blinds you from the "average" struggle...but that's life.
Look at his physique, or Moe Norman's or an elderly Hogan and get off this being a savant or especially gifted. Yes it does take some ability, but the swing model and hard work are what counts. And especially a few things such as maintaing lag thru impact. Very few were as good as these guys at that but it's all doable. The average player has little chance largely because they don't know anything about the requirements. Then they conclude you have to be a golfing genius.
David Lee Lol physique?? Physique has nothing to do with hand eye coordination, or being able to repeat flush contact time after time. Yes, hard work is a very important part but you obviously know very little golf if you don't realize that natural talent plays a huge role..Go comment on another sport because golf is not your forte
Chuck Steak oh my god....no..Seve was not known for that. He had an incredible short game which would miraculously save him from his wild ball striking. Are you 11?
Moe was probably the straightest as his swing model does yield flush hits arguably even more flush than Hogan's swing model (in my experience), but there is a lot more to being the greatest ball striker. I'd say Hogan overall was the best ball striker, quite remarkable given the technology of the time.
I watched Lee at Quail Hollow back when he hooked everything. His career took off when he started fading the ball more. My favorite golfer to follow around the course.
Slowing the club handle down and swing the toe of the club through impact is good advice for draw independent of how you release the club with your hands/wrists.
I have heard of this man named, Byron Nelson. He wasn't too bad either. And his swing repeated under pressure pretty well too. I happen to think, Mr. Hogan had the greatest swing ever. Mr Trevino was a magician with his hands and hips too. Probably the most underrated player on the PGA tour. I'd never play that man for a dime.
Slow your left arm down and speed up your right arm entering the hitting area?? Lee, come on man...wtf do you think your average 20 handicap is going to do with that advice? Horrible instruction.
Besides being one of the best golfers ever Lee is also a great teaching talent. My personal fave tip I heard on a TV Golf broadcast after Lee's round one of the announcers interviewed him and asked for a couple of his favorite tips for mid handicappers. Lee gave a couple (which I don't recall what they were) and then with a wry smile said "and it also doesn't hurt to hit 200 or 300 balls a day on the range"....I eventually became a 4 handicap largely by following that "tip". In my case probably hitting 150 balls four or five days a week, largely during my lunch hour at my job.
his sounded different because lee learned to hit it with the shaft leaning forward this compressed the ball to the max and good observation on the sound, this gives a good ballstriker away everytime so listen to the shots now check my lessons out at hitmanhawky and learn how to hit it like lee did and check my swing out to forward leaning shaft at impact for me and thanks hitmanhawky
I know what you mean,but watch Miguel Jimenez, Justin rose(doing his Ali G, Staines Massive), and Ian Poulter I saw Poulter telling off an over enthusiastic drunk Spanish fan telling Jimenez to try harder at the Volvo at Valderrama last year the Drunken Spaniard and Poulter where Deadly serious Jimenez was pissing himself laughing very funny.
At 5:01 Trevino drops his club to the inside when coming down from the top of his swing, much like Sergio, creating a lot lag. This helps promote the ball going from right to left, a draw. But Trevino plays a fade, the reason that it fades is because his hips are open similar to Freddy. Nice video, good tips on the take away.
this instruction is very valuable...it will change AND take my golf to where I want me to be....to win a biggest prize which I have dreamt of for a very long, long time....Thank you very much.
Sorry. Ben Hogan takes the title for "The Greatest Ball Striker Ever" without a doubt. No one who actually saw him hit the ball disputed this. Not only that, in this very video Trevino talks about "speeding up the right hand" which is flipping the club face. Hogan was a dragger not a flipper. You cannot have consistency if you accelerate the club face with your wrists. "You have to give up control to gain control". "There has never been an unintentional miss in the history of golf". Ben Hogan's secret started with Ben Hogan. "You can never be too late hitting the ball" AND NO ONE hit the ball later than Hogan did. Never have to this day.
Man I wish I had been around to see him play. I love watching the guys from my era but id love to have watched Jack, Trevino, player, palmer, snead, and even a "prime" tiger altho he was more recent but im young...what was it like to watch thowe guys?
I saw Trevino in Chicago at OFCC in the Senior Open . I played that north course a hundred times but never on this day with the wind being sideways . Par 3 , 8th hole , 40 mph wind and Lee and Palmer behind him both hit 223 yard driver, both made the green. The following day Lee hit a 6 iron to 10 feet with 6 iron. ( elevates tee bit it never got more than 30 feet off the turf. I have never seen a shot like those in 30 years of pro golf ! The guys from yesteryear would win and plenty in today’s game with the video, instruction, equipment and coaches. Tiger in a different class of course with exception of Jack.
That's right, I'm left-handed but hit right and my weaker right hand wasn't doing much; this caused me to hit a big pull fade on my woods. My swing path was outside in with an open club face. Now, I'm training my right wrist to fire through the hitting zone and this has helped me hit straighter shots. Thanks, Mr. Trevino.
I love that sequence. It looks classically beautiful. Nothing quirky at all from that angle. Down the line, you can his open stance more noticeably, but there is tremendous rhythm and athletic coordination. I never saw him in person, so I try to find good footage of him. That sequence is the best I've seen. I just wish we had more footage of the actual ballflights. I could watch him all day at the range if I could.
Hitting a draw and controlling it is another. He could hit a draw as easy as breathing, but for the swing he developed with a strong grip, hitting that penetrating fade was just a more accurate, controllable, and repeatable shot.
Indeed one of the greatest, if not the greatest. His ball striking was thoroughly tested and proven through all the majors and pro tour tournaments won.
This is arguably the most important RUclips video ever recorded.
No
Yup
If your goal is to snap hook it you are correct.
Nah....while it's undeniably great info, the chances of translating that info into real-world improvement are almost ZERO. Amateurs live in a fantasy world where we believe with every fiber of our being that better golf is just ONE or TWO pieces of information, or THIS or THAT training aid, or just the right tip......But it's an illusion.

Beautiful!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼⛳️🏌🏽♂️
Practice. He just practiced harder than anyone else.
Ahem....Moe Norman.
Ha! All due respect to the man, but he says keep your left knee flexed to ward off a slice. Then, in slow motion, he snaps his left leg straight at impact. :D
I noticed the same thing !
Jake Rebol often film will show that what you think you're doing is not what actually happens.
Well, his instructions are for people having trouble. Not for himself. And maybe he just played a fade.
Not snapped straight no... He snaps the hip back but there's some flex left in the leg. You'd see better if he wore shorts.
Lee says to slow the left arm and it may work on the range for a shot or two, but is not the right fundamental to focus on. The over-fast arm swing in my opinion is from amateurs starting the downswing with their arms and upper body. Start the downswing from the ground up - feet, knees, and hips - and the arms won't get out of sequence. Amateurs try to generate speed with the arms, while good golfers generate it with a body turn and coil on the backswing, and weight and rotation on the downswing. The club is pulled along the path created by centrifugal force.
I met this gentleman last week at a charity tournament. He as every bit as genuine and authentic in person as you see here. National treasure.
Trevino has become my favorite golfer of all time
What a brilliant mind !
This is one guy you dont ever want to play for money.
He's dead now?
SearchBucket2
Alive and well.
+desertsun100 Oops! I thought this was a Moe Norman thread. lol
Yea Moes dead and gone lol SearchBucket2
desertsun100 Trevino said pressure was playing $5 Nassau with $2 in your pocket. He grew up dirt poor and hustled his way to the penthouse. Great player.
This man is the reason I love golf. Thank you, Mr. Trevino.
Me too❤️⛳🦘

Lee was a master of the golf swing. A legend he will always be.
Cool video..Lee was working man's golfer...
Ben Hogan use to let Trevino demo all his clubs before he put them out . When asked why Hogan said, Trevino was the best striker of the ball, that he trusted his feed back on the clubs. That's pretty bad ass if Hogan thinks your the best striker of the ball, with all the greats around in Trevino's era.
Jody Roper nuff said.
Actually a lot could be added such as (for starters) Hogan was unlikely to ask Byron Nelson to test his clubs!
Or perhaps it was that Lee was the only one of the greats that he got along with.
Hogan would not even call Arnie by name, no wonder he never thought to ask him about his(Hogans) clubs.

Gotta love Lee and his folksy instruction style. One of the all time greats.
He visited Alberta in the 80's for an exibition with 2 fine,young amateurs. Shot a course record 64 without playing the track before, giving advice and never stopped chatting it up all 18 holes. Remember it like it was yesterday🏌️♂️

The best advice I ever received was to take two weeks off, and then quit.
I'll take your clubs...Thanks.
Grizzly Adams did have a beard!
Was Grizzly Adams a golfer or are you horribly off topic?
@@lancebaker1374 just ask happy.
We played in Tucson together. He hit the ball very accurate.. but mostly he was a GREAT putter.. especially under pressure.
MR Trevino is a class act.I remember one match he won $60.000 and donated it too charity.This was many yrs ago.
There was B.Jones, Hogan, Trevino...and some here say Moe...but ironically IMO the most underrated and greatest ball striker is a tie between Jack, throughout his life, and Tiger for about 11 years (1997--2008).

Tiger was always shitty with driver he is waaaaay down the list. His short game though... sick.
Trevino's swing looks more like Moe Norman's than anyone else.
This all makes perfect sense to me.
Simple instructions, verbally and physically absolutely informative and beneficial,
Agreed. This is the only takeaway drill you need ( provided you have sound fundamentals ) lead shoulder IS the takeaway, keep it all together. Play well⛳️

This is such a brilliantly simple video. Explains each mistake quickly and shows how to try and fix it.
Wow Vince, hope you're hitting them straight. I love Lee's vids, I use his chipping style so much I call it the Travino chip.
He says dont look the left knee to hit a draw I'll show you, then totally lock out his left knee at impact in the slo motion🤣🤣🤣, boomers trying to teach golf is hilarious, they are legends of the game yet they still thought it was voodoo magic🤣

Always thought Hogan and Trevino had the best wrist action through the ball.
saw him in abilene texas at a now defunct senior tour event. the man actually hit a draw with a sand wedge into a left to right wind. yes,a sand wedge. try that some time.
Lee once hit a golf ball over the Grand Canyon into the New Mexico border it was amazing!!
What?? So I can use the left side of the course!! Now they tell me.
Amusing guy, he is right but everyone has to find out what works for them.
This is great stuff. Also, super interesting editing style lol
The footage on the closeups has that unsettling feel they used for Pennywise dancing.
This has helped me so much I call my set up my Travino.

Man In Black there was nothing instinctive about Lee Trevino. He hit as many or more golf balls than anybody in practice. He was not a savant.
you are right my friend, that is because you know the swing
Look at his physique, or Moe Norman's or an elderly Hogan and get off this being a savant or especially gifted. Yes it does take some ability, but the swing model and hard work are what counts.

Lee is awesome--just the best! Great advice. Thanks.
i'd say the top 3 ball strikers ever were Lee, Hogan, and Seve
Seve??? Seve was not a great ball striker.
you don't know what yer talking about. thats what seve was known for.
Chuck Steak oh my god....no..Seve was not known for that. He had an incredible short game which would miraculously save him from his wild ball striking.
Are you 11?

Seve hahahahah
Trevino was a great ball striker. But the best of all-time was Moe Norman!

I'd say Hogan overall was the best ball striker, quite remarkable given the technology of the time.
yup, Trevino said Moe was a genius when it came to golf
Came because of king of thr hill
What a great golf drill to fix our swinging!
C'mon Lee.. Show us how to fade the ball. A hook is a fool's errand...
concise, valuable advice
It is simple and easy to understand.
I watched Lee at Quail Hollow back when he hooked everything. His career took off when he started fading the ball more. My favorite golfer to follow around the course.
Legendary ❤️🏌🏻♂️
This guy is a true legend
3:22 Trevino teaching the flip release?
Slowing the club handle down and swing the toe of the club through impact is good advice for draw independent of how you release the club with your hands/wrists.
I have heard of this man named, Byron Nelson. He wasn't too bad either. And his swing repeated under pressure pretty well too. I happen to think, Mr. Hogan had the greatest swing ever. Mr Trevino was a magician with his hands and hips too. Probably the most underrated player on the PGA tour. I'd never play that man for a dime.
Hell...I'd play him for a dime...and it'd be the best dime I ever spent!!!
Slow your left arm down and speed up your right arm entering the hitting area?? Lee, come on man...wtf do you think your average 20 handicap is going to do with that advice? Horrible instruction.
Besides being one of the best golfers ever Lee is also a great teaching talent. My personal fave tip I heard on a TV Golf broadcast after Lee's round one of the announcers interviewed him and asked for a couple of his favorite tips for mid handicappers. Lee gave a couple (which I don't recall what they were) and then with a wry smile said "and it also doesn't hurt to hit 200 or 300 balls a day on the range"....I eventually became a 4 handicap largely by following that "tip". In my case probably hitting 150 balls four or five days a week, largely during my lunch hour at my job.
Muscle memory is bs
I want his hat!!!!!
i still have one in my collection.
All great players want to tell you how easy it is.
Yep. When it's really talent.
4:20
Ray Floyd did this...not saying Trevino is wrong, of course, but there are exceptions to every "rule."
Just goes to show, just because you were one of the worlds greatest golfers, doesn’t mean that you’re a good teacher
his sounded different because lee learned to hit it with the shaft leaning forward this compressed the ball to the max and good observation on the sound, this gives a good ballstriker away everytime so listen to the shots now check my lessons out at hitmanhawky and learn how to hit it like lee did and check my swing out to forward leaning shaft at impact for me and thanks hitmanhawky
I used to slice now hook
I didnt know Charles Bronson played golf.
I know what you mean,but watch Miguel Jimenez, Justin rose(doing his Ali G, Staines Massive), and Ian Poulter I saw Poulter telling off an over enthusiastic drunk Spanish fan telling Jimenez to try harder at the Volvo at Valderrama last year the Drunken Spaniard and Poulter where Deadly serious Jimenez was pissing himself laughing very funny.

This is psychedelic.
Tiger Woods was lucky to have met Lee Trevino early is his life....he could be something else if he had met Arnold Palmer
That stuff at 3:33 seems like advice to improve your flipping technique.
this instruction is very valuable...it will change AND take my golf to where I want me to be....to win a biggest prize which I have dreamt of for a very long, long time....Thank you very much.
Why does it look so tripped out during his close up? Unique camera or strange editing?
Lee is one of the greatest ball strikers of all time. Not one of the best teachers I've ever seen. 😆
A great man.
1:54 when he talks about getting the knees right and coming in under the ball is the best. Get laid off into the hitting zone.
never heard of Moe Mormon. and who are you again. don't talk tripe
Pipeline Moe Norman was the greatest ball striker ever.
That's hysterical. You don't happen to know whether anybody caught that on video, do you?
Lee Trevino is the man was the man always will be the man!
ALLRIGHT LEE , NICE TO LISTEN TO AN AMERICAN TEACHING GOLF !
love Lee
No question Trevino was one of the Best Strikers
Sorry. Ben Hogan takes the title for "The Greatest Ball Striker Ever" without a doubt. No one who actually saw him hit the ball disputed this. Not only that, in this very video Trevino talks about "speeding up the right hand" which is flipping the club face. Hogan was a dragger not a flipper. You cannot have consistency if you accelerate the club face with your wrists. "You have to give up control to gain control". "There has never been an unintentional miss in the history of golf". Ben Hogan's secret started with Ben Hogan. "You can never be too late hitting the ball" AND NO ONE hit the ball later than Hogan did. Never have to this day.
Sorry, Moe Norman takes the title for the greatest Ball striker of all time ever
You have chosen "power drive"!

That's right, I'm left-handed but hit right and my weaker right hand wasn't doing much; this caused me to hit a big pull fade on my woods. My swing path was outside in with an open club face. Now, I'm training my right wrist to fire through the hitting zone and this has helped me hit straighter shots. Thanks, Mr. Trevino.
me too, ditto.
👏👍👏👍
Lee was legit true golf champ
why's he always sitting down. haha
Damn Trevino was good.
Probably the most naturally talented golfer of his generation.
What? Same generation as Jack! Exactly same age! He wasn't bad.
people can say how unorthodox he was, but 2:10 is text book!
I love that sequence. It looks classically beautiful. Nothing quirky at all from that angle. Down the line, you can his open stance more noticeably, but there is tremendous rhythm and athletic coordination. I never saw him in person, so I try to find good footage of him. That sequence is the best I've seen. I just wish we had more footage of the actual ballflights. I could watch him all day at the range if I could.
Lee should have listened to his own advice because he never could hit the draw.
Hitting a draw and controlling it is another. He could hit a draw as easy as breathing, but for the swing he developed with a strong grip, hitting that penetrating fade was just a more accurate, controllable, and repeatable shot.
