11/24 - More LAG / SPEED / DISTANCE / STRIKE - Have it all in ONE MOVE
Warren Bennett from the Warren Bennett Golf Academy introduces the 'Butt the Wall' drill to help golfers maximize lag and strike quality. By using an alignment stick to represent a wall at impact, Bennett demonstrates how to maintain wrist hinge deeper into the downswing to eliminate casting. The video emphasizes a two-phase approach: holding the lag angle and then training a pure wrist release for increased speed and compression.
Use an alignment stick on the ground as a visual 'wall' to help hold your lag angle longer.
The butt end of the club should 'butt' the imaginary wall as the hands move past the ball line.
For slicers, keep the clubhead slightly behind the toe line during the downswing to encourage an inside path.
Practice the release in isolation by keeping the head and shoulders still while unleashing the wrist angle into the impact zone.
Layer speed gradually (from 1/10 to 7/10 effort) to ensure the feeling of lag is maintained during a full swing.
