Great video. Especially for someone who started playing golf later in life. Played baseball as a kid as well which doesn’t help cure the hit instinct. This is gold for people with this background.
Alan Henning gave me my first and only “professional” tip when he sold me a set of Lynx Prowler irons, my first set of clubs, at the ProShop in Joburg CBD, …. the year was 1976 …. Had I focussed on what he told me that day …. Keep it simple, keep your right arm straight, “wait for it” and then just hit the ball … the club will do the work. “Compensating” is the cause of most golf injuries. Keep it simple. Thanks man.
Hi Johan, thanks for the message and that’s a lot of great advice, I’m sure many would benefit from it, and I think there’s nuggets we don’t forget eh, no matter how long ago. Testament to his teaching. Regards Warren
Mr. Bennett, thank you for adding context to the phrase"drop it in the slot". So many instructors, especially on youtube, refer to the phrase without really identifying its location. Thus it becomes this mystical location one is ever searching for. Pravo Sir.
Warren thank you for taking time to present the instruction. On my part when working on this sequence I’ve added the pause at top and using the “chair drill” behind me to insure I have full rotation of my hips. As you had pointed out without enough hand depth there is no slot to drop into!
Great advice again Warren. Gravity is your friend and with light grip pressure the feelings and ultimately the moves in the swing become more easily discernable and therefore, repeatable. All very best for next few months and your "new" mission. Remember it's the journey, not the destination, that matters most on some occasions! Maybe you could say it's not a results based exercise! Wishing you every success in any event.
6:59 is awesome. I had the yips swinging this year as I watched the "elite golfer strike" video I could get it back but to drop was easy but had to pause before swinging through You'd be surprised how much speed you get swinging from parallel through the ball on some sort of radar technology. its eye opening Still have a lot of work to do but when I was a slicer lost a lot of speed and momentum from the spinning out move. I know you know what I am talking about. man oh man this is a good video Thanks Again
Good to see you again. Thanks for making the playlist for the July videos. I reviewed the 1st video regarding the "transition" of the swing this morning. Today's video on "Waiting for It" seems to me similar to the 1st video. Could you elaborate on the "difference", if any, between these two? Thanks.
Warren, could you do a video, on exercise to show how to stop hitting irons 4/6 inches behind the ball. I was given a tip to use right elbow going past ball. Hasn’t really worked. Tried putting ball further back , getting hands well ahead and other ideas, nothing has worked. I have used Acue mat, that shows I consistently hit ground normally as stated, very rarely less than 2 inches behind ball. I also feel that I should be hitting straighter and further than I do, don’t think it’s because of age. Assistance would be much appreciated
Another awesome video! Funny you put this video up because this is what ive been working on lately. Played this morning and on 14 I waited for it and man oh man what a strike! felt like arms could "extend" and hands went to right. hit a beauty draw for me long and left but still playable. Love the videos. they make you think. Avg scoring dropped 1.8 strokes compared to last year and a high single digit (thanks to your videos understanding what I need to do) Good luck with the comeback series. You can do it. I know you can Thx. Dan & Angus
Hi, Curious to know how high you place the camera and where you place it for the DTL view, e.g. aligned with hands or ball, etc. Enjoying your videos ang wish you luck with your new plans. Thanks
Ideally between feet line and ball line. Height I out on max height for the tripod which is about 5ft. I know coaches go a bit lower than that. Many thanks for supporting the channel. Warren
great warren.i have tendency to pull downswing like a chain and then club head goes left to right instaed of coming on a plane.i m not able to exit towards left at the impact.if i do it turns into a hook.how to help.

OMG - I would
just love to pay for 1-2-1 with Warren - I’ve never come across an instructor who explains everything soooo well
@@kevinmurphy8644 go visit him. I am sure you will love playing his home course.
What an experience that would be. Bucket list!
Keep it coming 😊

Ok. Great lessons. Been practicing this at home. Looking forward to getting to the range to see results. I think this will solve my push shots. 😊

Excellent session, very helpful. I think you have a secret admirer in Scottie Scheffler because he named his newborn son Bennett. 😀
Oh wow I didn’t know 👍

Great advice and thank you for explaining in simple terms all the best in getting back into playing.

Thank you very much for such a quick response to my suggestion. All the very best for your new quest.

Will do Mick thanks for your message 👍
Great video Warren. Does “wait for it” and “drop it into the slot” also apply for pitching?
