#1 instructor and a top class mate. Your videos have helped me immensely to understand my swing and I am truly sorry for your loss. Glad to see you back
Really sorry to hear about your father Warren, I hope you are well and thanks for taking the time to provide more content. The drill that you revisited recently your ‘favorite drill’ is a real doozy! I was practicing it at home on my mat and net( which is the same as hours!) and after 60 odd shots, I then proceeded to hit full swings, and boy did it really help with compressing my irons, and kept me down longer on impact. Again, thanks for sharing this gem, it’s bloody awesome.
Thank you so much and thank you for taking the time to share your experience, that’s awesome to hear. It’s lovely when you find something that really get the juices flowing. All the best Warren
Another easy to understand and very useful lesson. Love your easy delivery style. Stay strong after your sad loss, sure you're dad is looking down with pride.
So sorry to hear about that Warren. May God bless and comfort you and your family. Thanks for all the great videos, they are DEFINITELY helping my game big time, I've been shooting in the mid to high 70's for the last 4 months straight, and I'm 63.
Good to have you back Warren. I sincerely hope everything went well. A few weeks ago, I began using your drills as I flip a bit. The "Less is more " is my thought on the course now. At 66, I still hit it OK ( I'm a 5 ) but it's not good enough as I get to my 70's. Today I went on the range and hit draws without too much effort. This video pairs perfectly with your others for the type of player I am. I want to thank you for sharing your wisdom with myself and all of us. After 33 years of trying to improve, finally it's clear where I need to be. Obviously, I'm a fan. Thanks again Warren , look forward to more.
Thank you Keith, I’m glad you’re in a good place with your golf, and that’s amazing you’re still playing off 5, I’m sure the less is more feeling will at the very least will keep you at that level. Thanks for the feedback and kind words, much appreciated. Kind regards Warren
Really sorry to hear about your Dad,I'll try this shoulder move as I do swing over the top.Hope to see you on the Course soon,or in passing. Dave Monckton.
It's more than just this though, the 'tilting' of the shoulders really is part of dissassociating the thoracic (top) part of the spine from the lower part so it can more easily move on a separate plane than the lower part of the spine, all part of the 'left sidebend to right sidebend' movement. Another video on YT shows that pros are nearly all at roughly 40 degrees of shoulder tilt in the backswing, and 55 degrees at impact. Whereas most higher handicap amateurs are at 25 degrees of tilt in the backswing, even though their lower spine angles are about the same. That implies that the most pros tilted the top part of their spine over. From having that top part of your spine curved into left sidebend then transition starts to move you to the opposite sidebend, whereas if it isn't (so the 25 degree tilt angle), then transition just wants to throw your trail shoulder out into an OTT move. I have a tall mate that has very much looks like a question mark at address as the top part of his back is curved over to nearly be horizontal (a bit like Colin Montgomerie), and there is no way that his swing can go OTT. Obviously there are pros that don't have so much tilt in the backswing, but they will have matchup moves that keep the club shallow into impact and will generally be very rotational in motion. That's my opinion anyway :-)
If I could add my own tip as well. As well as starting with 25% 50% etc. Swings, start with your wedges, 9 iron etc. And then build up through your bag. It feels easier for me to feel this low trail shoulder tilt at impact when you hit shorter shafted clubs.
Thanks Dave for getting in touch. In a perfect world yes, but if the body/shoulders move incorrectly this can be difficult, mainly golfers who tend to have an outside path coming down. As you may know I’m definitely a fan of encouraging an efficient arm swing so for the club golfer mainly, I would encourage this. Having a shoulder tilt that is more down in the downswing will definitely help this. There is one area where I really believe the arms should be pulling the body through is basically halfway down and through impact. I hope this makes sense mate, if it doesn’t please let me know. Regards Warren
Condolences on your father passing, may he RIP.
Thank you so much 🙏
Great to have you back Warren. Missed you and Trev. Stand strong brother.

exactly correct. This is the trick to the golf swing that amateurs dont understand.
Thank you Joe, appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Hi Dave, are you asking if the arms and hands swing and body follows? Just to make sure
@@warrenbennettgolfacademy yes I am
