Hi Warren. Everything you said resonates with me. I was taught the old way as a junior but for the last 6 months having lessons here in Australia and learning how to shallow and rotate. Difficult after being a hands player for 50 years but it’s working. Great video. Thanks, Wes.

Hi again Warren, really enjoying your July series. I found your story a great watch and struck a chord with me. I read 5 lessons by Ben Hogan 30 years ago, I knew the shallowing, watched all of Faldo's videos. I would watch the pros shallow out during their swings too. I knew the rotation part, I could see it. ( like skimming a stone). But I couldnt feel it, I was always stalling, saving the shot. Obviously, our skills are miles apart, but your story really gave me a boost. I was stuck at 10 for 15 years, with a better short game, I got down to 5. Your teaching, the way you word it, the feels, keep it very simple. At my age, its important to still have goals, mine is to swing this way as I approach my 70's . The title of this video certainly applies to me, cant thank you enough for the inspiration Warren. Keep up the great work, golf is a real pleasure thanks to people like you.

A great video and demonstrates that even a Tour player can struggle with finding a coach that can identify and address an individual’s issues. Therein lies the problems for us ‘hacks’. There are so many PGA coaches that haven’t the knowledge, experience or the equipment to correctly analyse a golf swing and provide the necessary feedback. Thanks Warren for your dedication in providing such excellent information and instruction.

9:55 This hits home with me. After a left shoulder injury, I let my right hand take over and was changing my grip midswing because of lack of confidence. I'm now in the process of changing my grip and swing. Mainly my grip, as it became so strong , I was hooking and duck hooking off the planet.

Brilliant video explaining the truth about golf. Recently, my long game has gone through turmoil. I've tried everything to correct it, but having seen this, I now know what's wrong. I used to do this drill of getting the club behind me and could hit the ball pretty straight and consistently. As soon as I felt this shallowing move, it felt like it was in the past with the arms moving in opposition. Like you say, power comes from movements you can't feel.

What you said was very true and I trust your invaluable insights. Many learners aim at hitting long distance. My coach keeps telling me accuracy and consistency are paramount. Therefore, as a beginner, I aim at making my swings consistent and repeatable. Besides, I aim at hitting the ball to go straight line towards the target. To achieve this I also train my ball impact on the club head.

Hi Warren this is giving me chills. @7:26 talking about getting the hands back inside (under the shoulders). Been working on this but struggling. Picturing with my golf grip I am holding a hammer sideways, T-shaped broom drill. I tend to respond better to visuals it did bring me some results. The T shaped broom movement I got from another UK based instructor that is on youtube. Cant help but feel this is the movement you are explaining too. Makes me very excited.

@@warrenbennettgolfacademy to be clear for others, it's not the sweeping broom but the scrubbing kind where the head & bristles form a T to the handle. Perpendicular. Where you hold it with the bristles tracing the target line. Warren, do you feel this movement requires more left forearm rotation?

Hi Jeff, I think it’s, even if it’s a slight feeling, it’s finding feelings through repetition. Tom once said it’s about movement first and then feeling second. so I would encourage you to find something you’d like to work on that you can do regularly, on the range or at home and stick to that and I’m sure feeling will come.

Thanks for another great video. In terms of ideas for the future one I'd like to see would be how to develop good ball first contact when playing off a mat. Like many I have no access to a practice range where you hit balls off real turf so get no experience of taking a divot. So when I practice I'm not sure if I am actually doing things right or not in terms of contact and when I go onto the course I often find I am taking no divot at all. So my question is, when hitting a ball off a practice mat how do you know if you are gettting good contact and how can you work to improve it? I don't recall any video covering this so it may be of interest to others too. Thanks again.

Hi Johnny, I would say it is a fraction cupped. I have a video regarding the left wrist on my list to do in July. In a perfect world having some cup is ideal so it’s got somewhere to go to regarding shallowing the club, but that is very hard for the majority as it’s happening so quickly so takes a lot of practice.

I absolutely get the shallowing part of the golf swing but struggle to square the clubface from half way down. It invariably comes through open, or if I try and exaggerate the release, it's too closed. I'm sure that's the reason we get so exasperated at our inconsistencies....an inability to square the clubface on a regular basis.

Hi Peter, I get the seesaw, but in my experience coaching golfers to hit more inside l/shallow etc if done properly it virtually impossible to overdo the release so it should just draw. I think I will do a video on the blend as I get the struggle mate. Cheers Warren

Excellent teaching. I believe this is the best way to hit the ball also. Hogan and Moe Norman both say they try and keep the club behind them. I have heard so many say they did not actually do that though. They did though. Aha moment for me was Hogans Coleman video when he's demonstrating on the beach. I had seen it numerous times and then one day I heard his friend say that's all I practice. Hogan wasn't going to teach his good friend wrong, so I started the slow-motion drills. The hands get ahead automatically and the ball jumps off the club with little effort.

What an excellent video that is, I can see in my mind. I the slow motion exercise that he did for the camera. I think a lot of golfers try and find a quick fix when the answer although sometimes can take quite a bit of practice, is shown to us by those great players, how I applaud you in your practice and what your practising.

Hi again Warren, I'm going through your July series again and find this one very interesting. It must have been devastating for you at the time, I can appreciate the "two way miss" from my own journey in golf!! I'm pretty much only following you now in my own re-learning. I've been playing ( very badly ) for about 40 years, mid sixties now and reached my lowest ever handicap last week of 17.9hi. My question for you on this vid is . . what, if any, is the difference between you shallowing the club as shown here and other vids where you are suggesting using a more arms and hand swing for the irons? I'm a bit confused and suffer from coming over the top creating an out to in swing, hence fading, slicing.
@warrenbennettgolfacademy
20 күн бұрын
Hi Bruce , Many thanks for your message and question. The difference being with this video you will need to use more body rotation to square the Club face up into impact, using your arms it will be more neutral and less body, so golfers who normally suffer from a slice encourage more arm swing as shown in other videos. Appreciate your message and I hope this helps. Regards Warren
