Really good as usual. An excellent reminder about where the speed actually comes from. I'm having lessons and making strides with my swing so I always try to be careful about overloading my brain with swing tips from UA-cam but you've never messed me up.
Hi Mark, Many thanks and well done for realising that it can be easy to go down the rabbit hole on UA-cam. Finding something that works is the key and getting better at that. Many thanks me and wishing you well. Warren
Tried this today. Significant increase in club head and ball speed. Need to careful with the more lateral hand movement in the up swing as I try to lag the club while taking off. Need to remember to add in the body rotation so that the up swing won't be too steep. But I got the feeling. Thanks! @@warrenbennettgolfacademy
Hi Warren, greetings from snowy cold Ottawa, Canada. Just discovered your youtube lessons a week ago. Just turned 80 this year, luckily still fit enough to enjoy playing, your lessons on developing speed with the hands and arms are a revelation. Lessons I had years ago focused on creating speed with the body and just allowing the arms along for the ride never seemed to work consistently for me. Lost a lot of speed as I've aged and really became frustrated this past summer. I love the drills you've described so clearly, and I'm able to do them at home as golf right now is out of the question. Even bought a, impact bag to work with. Please keep up the great content and I hope you manage to land in the type of position you deserve, you're a great teacher.
Hi Gilbert, many thanks for sending this message to me and I’m so grateful your feedback. I’m so happy you found the channel but most of all an opportunity for you to improve your golf. Wishing you warmer days ahead and please send over any questions. Kind regards Warren
Hi Chas, Thank you for your message mate I hope that you’re keeping well and I hope to see Chestfield soon . I’m missing a lot of you guys there . Kind regards as always Warren
Great video, your explanations accomplish what a lot of other instructors fail at. If 80% of the speed and power comes from the hands and arms then almost anyone can play casual good single digit handicap golf using this method. Lag back, lag forward, release that lag thru impact, it works for all clubs. It is club focused not body focused. Thanks its a game changer.
Yeah, I think you’re right regarding golfers playing more this way and having more natural speed in their swings Eric. Too many do the opposite. Single figures is a push though as golf as we know is mostly about the scoring zones to achieve that, but having a golf game with more consistency in distance and strike will definitely help. Ma y thank ps for your message and I wish you well. Warren
Warren this drill will be added to my practices routines. My grip pressure at times feels like an 11 and so intend on controlling the club I’m exhausted.. My focus when training to keep my grip pressure at 1 and allowed the wrists to move freely. I’ve also added turning the club reverse, butt end down, for a couple of swing then to a normal grip. In doing so I can feel the weight of the club head when swinging. Thanks again for your work.
Hi Warren, I’ve played single figures for 40 years and put in so much effort that at 70 I’m struggling- just watching this one video tells me my top hand grip has been far too tight. Tried this out yesterday and what a lightbulb moment 👍 Really brought the enjoyment back for me and so smooth and truly effortless. Thank you
I’m so glad it helped and makes perfect sense, like my friend said to me many years ago, “to gain control you’ve got to lose it!” Meaning the more we don’t control and swing free, better consistency can happen. Many thanks for the message. Regards Warren
Hi Phil, Thank you very much for letting me know and giving me feedback on the video, it is very much appreciated. Good luck with your goals and wishing you well. Kind regards Warren
Great video content Warren you are one of the best instructors I have seen on you tube. You are really helping to improve my golf swing on the course. Thanks for that PK
It has taken some time to overcome the muscle memory of my previously poorly executed golf swing, but I made it happen. With stack and tilt I am consistently hitting a nice draw instead of a wicked slice. Thanks for your coaching and reinforcements.
Hi Joe, it’s so difficult isn’t it but well done for staying in there and making it happen, many wouldn’t have, but I think us golfers are ok with a bit of lost form if we can see and understand the path. Takes a lot of work and probably more patience so I salute you for your work. Well done Warren
Ty so much Warren this video really hits home for me. Never could get into the proper p6 position with the shaft horizontal and hands infront of right leg. Always unable to grasp the right to left travel of the club vs rotation of the forearms to square or turn the club face. Glad that towards the end you do address hooks and slices. Would you be able to do a follow up on how to blend this drill with forearm rotation and wrist flexion (turning it "down") for a draw - fix an open face. The only club I struggle with an open face is my driver. Miss is push fades/slices, When I try to close the face with forearm supination & left wrist flexion etc, I can still miss it right or hit snap hooks that have hardly carry any distance.
This is SOOOO good. The slo mos (hands leading the club) and the grip pressure 1 out of 10. I really have only acknowledged swing tension over the past couple years, and it is a battle to get rid of it. But these concepts and the video are gold.
Thank you so much, not only for watching but for your feedback. I hope it can be of help and please keep me posted on any progress or if you need any help. Kind regards Warren
Hi Warren, I have a setup like yours in my garden and i went out today with the intention of half swings with slow swing speed . I have to say i have never hit the club so many times out of the sweet spot. I reakon i could play pretty good golf doing just that.
That’s great news and thanks for taking the time out to leave your feedback. I absolutely agree you definitely can take an element if not quite a lot of this out onto the golf course and as you know now from your experience feeling this you will probably hit the ball further, so there’s absolutely no question you can take this to the course, when you do, I hope it works out for you and wishing you well. Warren
Just tried your loose wrists method with both irons and driver during a freezing round of golf today-absolute game-changer! It worked perfectly to square the clubface at impact and boosted my club head speed noticeably. My playing partner was seriously impressed. Two things I focused on: making a full shoulder turn/backswing with completely relaxed wrists and staying relaxed during the transition and downswing. My instinct on the range was to muscle it, as usual, but after warming up with your method, I fully committed to it on the course. The results? Pure strikes and insane consistency, even under pressure. Had some of the longest drives and best ball-striking I’ve ever had. Thanks so much for the excellent explanations-this really clicked for me!”
This is so lovely to hear, thank you for taking the time to message me. It really is one of the little secrets but easily overlooked. Many thanks and well done. Regards Warren
Hi brian Never a true word has spoken. I definitely know who the main attraction is of the channel, and it definitely not me. If in doubt put a dog on the screen. Many thanks for taking the time to comment, and thank you for your support of the channel . Kind regards Warren
This is brilliant! Nobody else on the tube giving away nuggets like Warren.
Great tip Warren. Take this one with me to next weeks indoor training.
Hi Pete,
Thank you for taking the time to respond and wishing you well.

Warren
Dear Warren, you never ceased to amaze me, thank you so much.
Great Video again Warren. Especially explaining it with Hogans Swing. Now i understand what Mc Hatton (the hat) meant with loose wrists.
Thanks coach!

Yes and this feeling can only be attained without tension in the hands and wrists .....
WOW! Can't wait to try it, and to feel it!
Thanks Leroy, please let me know how it goes 👍

Another gem Warren , very many thanks . There’s a video of Tommy Armour on UA-cam which shows the lag developing .
Nicely explained Warren. Best to Trev!
Brilliant video, so important to let the club swing like you show. When I do that (did similar at range today) it's surprising how far the ball goes
Ty so much Warren this video really hits home for me. Never could get into the proper p6 position with the shaft horizontal and hands infront of right leg.
Always unable to grasp the right to left travel of the club vs rotation of the forearms to square or turn the club face. Glad that towards the end you do address hooks and slices.

You might think we turn up to watch you, Warren, but the draw is 10% you, 90% the wonderful Trev
