1/31 - The Two TRANSITION Moves you MUST DO

Hi everyone and welcome to number 1 of 31 videos I am posting during July.
This one is all about the transition, and the two moves that can really affect and take your ball striking to the next level.
As we know the transition is a difficult area of the swing to get right as we can’t really feel it, but it’s the place where so much is happening with different body parts moving around.
Done properly, and the club will have a greater chance to swing done to the ball correctly and on the correct plane too.
Hopefully I’ll explain everything in the video.
Feels strange to be posting on a Monday.
Thanks for joining me and thanks for the support.
See you tomorrow!
Warren

I will get your 31 days of your quality coaching first thing in the morning in Canada. What a great way to start my day with a coffee, Warren and Trev. Brilliant! 👍

[@dr.danamplifiers1753]

I agree fully. Top of the morning to you from Nova Scotia

[@Graemedargo]

@@dr.danamplifiers1753 Good morning Dan from Saskatchewan. Happy Canada Day!

[@dr.danamplifiers1753]

@@Graemedargo happy Canada Day to you as well Graham, I have fond memories of driving through Saskatchewan in a white out with my father and mother. Many years ago, my father drove out there to go look at a Clydesdale horse. It was quite the trip lol he ended up buying it.hope your golf is absolutely fantastic this year. Enjoy your day.

Hi Graeme, I will be thinking of you when I film them, that’s the side I love of the technology we now live in. Sending my best from the UK Warren 🇬🇧🇨🇦

[@tonyfrostad2730]

Combined with your (future) tray drill are fantastic drills to stop over the top swing.

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Thank you Tony, appreciate you taking the time to message. Wishing you well Warren

[@kennethsplaine1149]

This was an absolute GREAT video and demonstration with an explicit explanation of the golf swing, the best I've seen on KZbin or anywhere else, looking eagerly to the rest of this months videos and your professional explanations that are always welcomed!!!! 🙂

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Wow much appreciated again Kenneth. Appreciate your support Warren

[@sharonstephens1556]

I love the way you explain things without the technical jargon. Golf is hard but I feel you are helping me understand the correct swing with out over complicating it. Thanks, it’s going to be a busy month on the range for me.

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Hi Sharon, Many thanks for the message and kind words. Like I’ve said in a previous reply, pick and choose as certain videos will talk to you more than others, as they will be a mixed bag. Good luck and sending my best. Warren

[@mick19421]

Warren. Years ago before KZbin a number of Pro’s used to show the tips in slow motion or even from above. Dont know if this is still possible. I used to find it very useful.

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Hi Mick, I do throw the odd slow mo or stills in pretty much every vid where appropriate, but will take on board what you say and introduce more if needed. Many thanks and regards Warren

[@jonmold6574]

Thanks for making this series Warren. Really like and enjoy your videos. I'm a 17 HCP looking to get below 15 this year. Already at 16.4 so hoping this series will push me to practicing more and getting to my goal. Many thanks.

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Thank you Jon and I hope so too, certain videos will talk to you more than others, as what I will put out will be a mixed bag. Appreciate your support. Many thanks Warren

[@ericdumont610]

Very good demonstration Warren, the best on KZbin.

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Thank you so much Eric. Very much appreciated. Kind regards Warren

[@stevepickard4957]

great video, easy to practice at home with no club. Could I suggest a video for those of us who struggle with left shots, not hooks but left of target start position going further left in the air. Thanks and look forward to the 31

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Thanks Steve, will put it on the list of vids and get my thinking head on. Think I did a video on pulls, I will have a look and if I find it, I’ll send it over to you in the meantime. Kind regards Warren

[@neilw4881]

Very good video on the transition Warren👍 A good follow up might be, “at what point the hips actually start to open”. Lots of different and confusing information out there on this topic, especially at the moment! Be great to hear your thoughts on this 👍

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Thanks Neil, that sounds great and will definitely do this, I’ve added it to the list. Many thanks Warren

[@dr.danamplifiers1753]

9:02 is awesome as well. I do these moves on the course and at home several times a day. (even at work 😂) LOL. Ive watched the videos a lot. I do that move and funny to see you do it Thanks again. You really (for me) help me to understand cause and effect.... Bravo

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Thanks again Dan, you’re like me alway swinging no matter where we are eh! Love it though Dan. Thanks for the comment mate. Warren 🇬🇧🐶🇨🇦

[@dr.danamplifiers1753]

@@warrenbennettgolfacademy yes. Always swinging. Arthritis or not. Hard to escape it. Hope Trev and you are having a good weekend. We have a second dog this weekend because my oldest daughter went to Newfoundland hiking. Lots of work, keeping two of them happy😂

[@dr.danamplifiers1753]

Still spin a bit too early but have inside club path (thank god) lasso video helped me there. Worked on what seems a "more vertical takeaway" to get club on inside path down and what seems like holding off shoulders with a steady head at delivery but lower half is still messed up... Getting there though and can hit a few of these shots in a round whereas feels like right side is firing thru ball 9.8 (best) and back up to 10.6 now) Need to practice more...... Headed to range to try "slingshot" move today (loved that video) but desperately need to figure out lateral shift. Lose distance because of the absence of the lateral shift Looking forward to range session today and filming it Thank you for these videos Warren. Dan

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Thanks Dan hope it goes well? Remember rhythm and lightness is the glue that holds it all together. Many thanks Warren

[@pohoresky]

One of the very best videos i have ever watched on the transition- such a critical part of the swing.

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Thank you so much and glad you liked it. Kind regards Warren

[@petethomas7164]

Great start Warren. I wonder if each video could be 10 mins or less? It helps focus and concentrate on salient points. Just a suggestion. Your style is calm and smooth, like your swing! Thanks.

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Hi Pete, I know I like a waffle don’t I! I do find it hard to just put surface feelings/thoughts over as it’s always more to it than than, but I will try and keep it shorter and less waffle. Many thanks for your message. Warren

[@simonwallin1970]

Great video! I struggle with crossing the line at the top of the backswing, could you maybe do a video on how to fix that?

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Thanks Simon, I will do I’ll put it on the list. Many thanks Warren

[@kevinmurphy8644]

Great instruction thanks - 95% of club golfers don’t transition their hips far enough forward - me incl

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Hi Kevin, Appreciate your message and remember I always do it a bit more exaggerated than needed, so just a small version will help and not change the timing needle too much. Kind regards Warren

[@gerrymcintosh4477]

Another great video, Sir. 🇨🇦💝🙏

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Thank you Gerry, lovely to know you’re watching from Canada 👍🇨🇦🇬🇧

[@jessecooper9795]

Best explanation of this I've ever seen. How do you recommend your weight at address? 50/50 or 60/40?

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Jesse, even for an iron, then because of slight shoulder tilt it should be 60/40 will driver. Many thanks Warren

[@jessecooper9795]

@warrenbennettgolfacademy was thinking the same, but so glad to hear your perspective on it. Many thanks!

[@user-mj9fy1jd9b]

Mr Bennett, you briefly touch on the "top players hanging back a bit more", I by no means am at op play but do delay as you mentioned. Moving lateral as much as you suggest is simply to uncomfotable for me and feels too "hippy"... All this to ask would it be possible to do a video demonstrating the top player hip hanging back transition ? Pravo Sir.

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Thanks for the message, yes I definitely will, I have done something like this or mentioned it a number of times in previous videos, bit will have a think and out it on the to do list. Remember lateral shifting isn’t for everyone, it’s mainly for the golfer who doesn’t do it enough. Many thanks Warren

[@AR-ke8wg]

Would like to see video about driver setup... I always feel cramped with the driver, leading to leaning back and hitting bottom of clubface... leading to having to tee it up so high because the cramped feeling at setup... almost like I have to fall back to have enough room to swing through impact.

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

Ok, I will add it to the list for this month. Watch this space. Many thanks for the kind comments. Warren

[@MrFisher676]

Is this lateral movement of the hip the same “clear the hips” “create space for your arms” that you hear every one online talking about. Something I’ve never quite fully understood untill Youv mentioned this and a bit of a lightbulb moment if that’s what it is referring to

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

I would say no not what I was referring to on this video, this is more about the lateral move in transition before we start to rotate, which is one of the main ingredientes lot of club golfers need. Hope that helps Warren

[@user-mj9fy1jd9b]

Get on with it Man!

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

My style is my style 👍

[@mick19421]

Warren are you still teaching at Chestfield ?.

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

No Mick I left last December

[@mick19421]

Shame, are you still giving personal lessons (I’m trying to get one of my Grandsons (off 8) to have a lesson/session that will bring his handicap down).

[@cdunne1620]

Hi, please be aware of your dog when swinging and hitting the ball. People have hurt their dogs very badly swinging their golf clubs, always be aware of worst case please 🙏

[@warrenbennettgolfacademy]

I will do thanks, I’m always aware and have one eye and ear open, but thank you for the concern 👍🐾🐶

[@jessecooper9795]

I'm sure Trev is in good hands. Probably plays off a 4 as well 🐶
