Ben asks, “what’s the equivalent of the flat left wrist? The bent right wrist...”
Trivia: who’s the famous player who plays with a flat right wrist (and more importantly a ---- left wrist)?
Vijay Singh, + bonus answer is Phil M too. He doesn't play with as flat of a right wrist as Vijay, but its close. Oh and the "----" is "flat"

Quote:
When Ben says he is chipping, is he really chipping? Remember, a chip is a stroke with zero Accumulator #2.
I'm going no, it does seem he is getting some accumulator storage.

Ben places a lot of emphasis on the big muscles moving the club, not the hands. So much so that it smells like the dreaded Pivot Controlled Hands (Position golf vs. Alignment, Physics vs. Geometry – see 5-0) golf, stroke he is teaching. A possible defence to this is that Ben is teaching Zone #1 (Pivot) first. When his student has mastered the Pivot, emphases will be more on Zone #3 (Hands). See 9-0. And oh, before you guys tell me, let me pre-empt your reponse: "Pivot Powered Hands Controlled Pivot"...
Not sure what you're asking here, where's the question?

Notice how Ben teaches the student to set up to the ball. Ball location is referenced with the left heel, not the Low Point location of the left shoulder! And it looks like the “one inch behind left heel” procedure is recommended for all clubs. However, also notice he suggests that stance width changes with different clubs. How does this relate to Ball/Low Point school of thought? See 2-J and 2-N.
Stance width with a constant ball position changes your aiming point and thus changes low point.

Bonus answer: Or you could teach it with a single aiming point and varying ball positions, both are valid options. I prefer ben's way.

“Push the grass back with the club” says Ben when teaching how to take the club away. This resembles a ‘whirly’ type takeaway procedure, which is more compatible with which type of Stroke?
Swinging

Ben is trying to teach the student the "drag away" takeaway technique. Brian says in his "Confessions of a Former Flipper" that ben says (and you can catch part of it in the video above) "brush it away at the hairs, and chop it off at the roots." Something to that effect.

Quote:
Ben talks about his “one third swivel” at the Follow Through in his chips and pitches. What type of Hinge Action (10-10) is he implying/teaching?
Angled Hinging

---------------

How'd i do?
