Thank you for the message. I just want golfers to have a more enjoyable time playing golf, and hopefully having a little understanding about their golf will help with that. I really enjoy doing them and especially getting some positive feedback that it can help. I’m still learning about how to do them but im loving getting them out there. Kind regards and much appreciation. Warren

I love this drill. Hopefully I can get it going.

Wow thank you so much for the kind words, and I’m just glad you have found it of some benefit. I appreciate you taking the time to write this to me. Wishing you well and kind regards Warren

Hi Jesse, yes me and my brother too! I think I’m going to do a video on it soon 👍

@@warrenbennettgolfacademy same here! Really builds up the small muscles as well. I'm a former assistant pro coming off of injury and so glad I came across your channel. Everything you say is spot on and top shelf!

Thank you Martyn. Appreciate you taking the time to message. Sending you best wishes. Warren

@@warrenbennettgolfacademy I'm now going to have to watch them all Warren

Hi Richard, Many thanks for your lovely message and feedback for the video and really appreciate you taking the time out to reply. I am so happy that it has given you a chance to try something new. You must find what you need to do with your swing, know your faults and find a way to improve, we are all different. Thanks once again and hope to cross paths in the future. Regards Warren

Hi Dave, Many thanks. I think you’re confusing classic with aged!!!! Hope things are well with you? Kind regards Warren

@@warrenbennettgolfacademy no confusion at all!!! Love your stuff man👍🏻

Thank you Timothy for your message. I agree with everything you say and the person you had a lesson with was wise giving you that feeling of a smaller swing. Good luck with everything in Iowa, I won’t complain about our weather here in the Uk when you’re having to wait until spring. If you have any questions or would like to send in your swing for me to do a free swing analysis, please feel free to buzz over. Kind regards Warren

Wow wow wow! Now that is a mentor!!! Thank you for sharing and getting in touch. You must have some stories? Sending thoughts from the Uk 🇬🇧 Warren

@@warrenbennettgolfacademy I have many stories taught with Golf Digest School and BobToski and Jim Flick. Also Nicklaus/ Flick golf schools. Very blessed career

No worries 👍

Hi Tony, Thank you so much for subscribing and letting me know. I’m so glad it has been of some benefit to you. Wishing you well Regards Warren

Hi Greg, Wow thank you so much, what a lovely message to receive. Keep working at it in your sim building a repeatable and reliable swing. It’s sounds like you’ve layered some natural speed to your swing which is why you’re seeing some distance gains. Well done and great to hear. Thanks for your support and hope to have you along for many more. Kind regards Warren

I hope it works and glad you enjoyed the video. Many thanks for messaging me and wish you all the best. Regards Warren

Thank you very much 🙏

Thank you Roy very much appreciated. Regards Warren

Wow I can only imagine how much snow you get there in Canada. I hope you can get to do practice of any sort, just doing rehearsal swings with a ball can be of substance, just like a quote I like, ‘repetition is the mother of skill.’ Good luck and wishing you seasons greetings from 🇬🇧 Regards Warren

I’m glad it was helpful! Many thanks for taking the time out to message I really appreciate it and hope you’re enjoying the channel. Many thanks and kinda regards Warren

Hi Stephen, Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I hope it has helped and appreciate the message and support. Kind regards Warren

Hi Dru, Good to hear from you mate. Yes I think combining the shallow with the release will be good for you. Remember you were always a bit steep so releasing would have been more difficult. Still a legend tho 🥰 Trev

Thank you Lenard 👍

My pleasure Joe appreciate your feedback. Many thanks Warren

I hope it helps and thanks for watching and messaging. Regards Warren

You're welcome!!

Hi Frank, distance loss can be very frustrating as we sometimes feel we are putting a lot of effort in without the reward we would like. Introducing this lag and release if done correctly can have some lovely results. I hope it helps and wish you all the best. Regards Warren

Thank you Sean for the feedback. Regards Warren

Glad you think so! ❤️

Hi Paul, Glad you found it useful and appreciate you taking the time to get in touch. Apologies for the late reply family health problems. Sending good wishes for your golf. Regards Warren

Hi Johnathan, Really appreciate you taking the time to respond and comment on the video. Don’t give yourself too much of a hard time as as we know producing perfect strike is something that is not easy to do all the time. Breaking the swing down, changing the pace etc can help a lot in achieving a more repeatable action. If you ever would like me to have a look at your swing I would be more than happy to do a swing analysis. Many thanks and kind regards Warren

Hi Mike, Great minds think alike eh! I’ve always loved doing the drill as it gives you great feedback and feel. Thanks for taking the time to message and hope it is going well for you. Kind regards Warren

Was your distance better?

@@griffehotte It was thanks, had my best ball striking round for ages .

What did you fill the bag with?

@@ilanmosery Old towels mainly , useful bit of kit . Any old clothes would also do as long as there is a bit of give in them eg pyjamas etc

Hi Kenneth, I’m really pleased you found this video useful, it really makes it worthwhile doing them when I read a massage like yours, and thank you for taking the time out to message I really appreciate it and hope you enjoy the channel. Many thanks and kind regards Warren

Hi Jeff, Learning new motor skills is always a tricky thing to start, but you’re right to take swings to the garden first to take away the need to have a result on the range/course. Hope you’re getting on well and all the best. Kind regards. Warren

Whats your resould of the golf course🤔

Not to speak for Warren, but what I think he's saying is that doing something new does not translate into immediate results. So, if I went to the range or course and tried to implement this "new" thing, I may become frustrated if I don't see progress right away. @@griffehotte

Absolutely it’s all about getting those hands and club matching up to the body rotation, and agreed Rory likes that split arm drill as he does tend to get a bit stuck occasionally, all be it I would like to get stuck like him! Many thanks for leaving a comment and great to have you on the channel. Regards Warren

Hi Matt, firstly apologies for the delay in getting back to you and thank you so much for dropping by the channel, it is very much appreciated. Yes Matt it will be the same for driver, because the ball position for the driver is more forward, the club will have more time to release so there’s a slight upward blow. I say to my students you don’t change your swing for different clubs, you change your stance. The only time you do it it if you’re hitting a certain shot, knock down etc. Hope that helps and wish you well Matt. Regards Warren

Hi there, I wish I had the technology! I would need a super slow mo camera for that or a more expensive launch monitor. Unfortunately I don’t have either. Sorry. Kind regards Warren

Hi Les, Many thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated mate Regards Warren

🐶👍🐾

Many thanks for your message and feedback, very much appreciated. I would say yes generally it is in front of the right leg and a good barometer on how far it would be away from you, is your right elbow should be in contact with your body. If it isn’t you know it is too far out. Apologies on the delay of the delay getting back you. I hope this helps and any more questions please don’t hesitate to buz them over. Kind regards Warren

@@warrenbennettgolfacademy That answers the questions. Thanks for taking the time to respond to such questions.

Thank you so much for coming along. I would say it’s in equal parts, as in an ideal world we aren’t looking for a dominant hand as that would mean there’s a lack of control etc in the other. I think it’s a matter of movement and feeling, not so much power, so training the hands to move would be beneficial to achieve that. But to sway towards one it’s whatever your dominant hand would be, so for me it’s my right. I hope that helps. Regards Warren

Hi Marc, I would say yes but it’s very personal to the golfer. Generally the ‘club golfer’ doesn’t have enough hand and arm snap/release as they tend to over move their body, but the more elite the golfer it’s starts the sway to more body rotation needed, as they are too arm and handsy through impact. As mentioned, it’s all a blend of all the cogs of the swing. If you feel/know you have good release of your arms/hands/club then I would say yea Marc, layer rotation on that. Hope that helps. Kind regards Warren

Hi Dave, Many thanks for the message and appreciated you stopping by the channel. Online coaching and swing analysis is something I am wanting to start. How about sending a couple of swings to me, down the line and front on and a description of what is going on etc. I don’t know if you can send videos on here, but my number is +447908203118 if you want to send on watsapp? Or can do on academy insta or FB it’s up to you. I will do a video describing your swing and me showing you drills and feels to do on the range and course. It’ll be no charge as this is something I am just starting. Look forward to it. Regards Warren

@@warrenbennettgolfacademy Thank you Warren, that is very nice of you. I will do a little research and figure out the best way to get some videos to you. Thanks again!

Classic and it still works…👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Ray, Yes I would say that is correct, for a majority I would say it’s an increasing weight shift from the top of the backswing all the way through to finish. A tip would be, from the top of backswing get weight off your right leg by pushing off the inside of the foot, big toe area, with the right knee kicking in too. You need a lateral weight shift then rotation. Too many people have too much rotation too early. Hope that helps and any other questions please buzz over. Kind regards Warren

Hi Kieth. Thanks for messaging. I understand the frustration and difficulty. My experiences with layering this onto golfers is to get the transition and plane right coming down. Get this correct and most of the release and timing takes care of itself. I have given many golfers similar feels to do away from the course and/or range, so lots of rehearsal swings in the garden and this has layered over time into their golf swings without thought. I hope other videos on the channel gives you some more. Kind regards Warren

Yes it can be layered for any club. Just change your stance for the longer clubs. Especially fairways and driver. Hope that helps and wishing you well. Kind regards Warren

I would say most definitely 👍

Absolutely, just a change of stance, ball position etc and go get it! Wishing you well. Warren

I incorporated this release down to ulnar deviation through impact action in my swing about a dozen years ago after reading Hogan’s Five Lessons, using his waggle wrist action, and also being exposed to and studying the swing of trick shot artist Harry Frankenberg (aka Count Yogi). Moe Norman also had the same radial-to-ulnar deviation wrist action in his downswing but with an unconventional grip that put the wrists in ulnar deviation at address. What all three where renowned for were hitting very powerful and consistently straight shots. It generates far more club head acceleration that the conventional “lag and drag” method, similar to how a dual-lever-action trebuchet can toss a projectile further than a single lever catapult but requires very consistent biomechanics (like Hogan’s) and taking into account that the length of the shaft affect how long it takes the club head mass to swing down around the hands. Hogan took that into account by using a constant ball position inside the lead foot but altering stance open for short shafts and closed for longer. The alternative approach is to just take a full force practice swing then adjust position of feet to ball based on where the club swing arc bottoms out. Both work effectively once the cause and effect is understood.

Thank you for your message and I understand why you say that, but if done correctly the club will do most of the work, so I it will require little effort. Im here to explain what is going on and giving it a reminder. I wish you well and kind regards Warren

Hi Raj, I think they are Footjoy Premiers spikeless. Very comfortable. Many thanks Warren

@@warrenbennettgolfacademy Thank you Warren

With a drill that stops we cannot retain the forces so we’re just training one part here. I agree a lot is happening through transition but this is a drill just to practice the release during the impact zone. Hope I understood your question Warren

Hi Shawn, Absolutely, with the ball position more off the left side, it will seem an earlier release but everything stays the same swing wise mainly. Hope that helps. Regards Warren

Yes it will be exactly the same with driver 👍

I get all you say Andrew, but I can’t accommodate it all in one video, so there’s a fine line between posting everything, I’m going by my experience and trying to keep it simple and useable for golfers, there are videos on the channel that explain what you say. Many thanks for your feedback and explanation. Regards Warren

No. Only if you want to get stuck and flippy. In a true swing the body reacts to the swing, focusing on the body is a recipe for disaster.

Thanks for this and I get why you said it. It really comes down to the swing of the individual and what fault and fix is needed. If the golfer has too much arms and hands in the swing, they will need to feel more body. I would be an example of that, as left to my own devices I tend to overuse my arms or a better explanation underuse my body, so I do tend to focus on my body rotation and trust that my arms and release comes along for the ride. That said I do work on the matching up release of the arms and club from time to time so it’s all a blend. The majority of the clients and golfers we see are the club golfer who needs more distance and speed so this video was focused on that. Many thanks for taking the time out to message and if there’s anything I can help with your golf then please feel free to buzz a message over. Regards Warren

​@@warrenbennettgolfacademywhat a class act u are Warren. A true gentleman...

Love it. Thank you so much for coming to the channel and I’m so glad you liked the video and got it. I love KISS golf too. Thanks for the comment and kind regards. Warren

That’s all I can think about. No shaft lean, no body rotation but it’s a drill for one part of the swing…. I watched the rest, that’s how I used to swing to. Leads to some scooping. Hands lead ball. 4/10 video.

It does seem like that but he didn't emphizes that you'll feel like your "releasing" the club out in front of you. Imagine you release that angle he's showing you(hands hip high with club head around your shoulder) but you never break your wrist, as in maintain that your wrists are still straight as they would be if pointed out straight and your mak8ng a fist. To get this ''release feel" feel like you're going to try and throw the club/ let go of it so it hits the ground 10 or 12ft in front of the ball just after you've made contact. Feeling that throwing of the club 10 or 12 ft out in front of you If you've never felt a release like this it will feel like your arms and the club are gonna spin your entire body around in the follow through because you never roll your wrist over atcontact or just after. Wrist are straight and arms are straight point out at the ground. You'll really feel like your whole body is gonna be pulled around but you bend your elbows at the top in the classic finish pose. Hope that makes sense😢 Edited-for better description of "release" feel of the club just after contact

No it’s called releasing the club head. All the pros do it yet hardly anyone actually teaches proper release of the club head, it’s all hold your angles and turn.

@@chadillac1127 disagree that’s a cast. Needs shaft lean. Dynamic loft needs to be working negative not positive.

@@bhorny1 false, casting happens at the top. you’d be surprised on a launch monitor. I release the club and still have a -3 to 4 attack angle with a 7 iron.

I get why you comment on being too handsy, but this is for the golfer who casts the club from the top and/or holds on through impact without any release. Many thanks for watching. Regards Warren

I agree the better golfer generally needs more club head control, but learning to match up is for everyone, but like you said, you must know your own swing. Thank you very much for taking the time to comment. Regards Warren

Thanks Dan, glad you enjoyed it and many thanks for taking the time to message me. Much appreciated. Regards Warren
