Excellent video! Ben never runs out of steam teaching! The following are my comments, with a few trivial questions...questions that may or may not deserve your time/effort answering...

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)?

When Ben says he is chipping, is he really chipping? Remember, a chip is a stroke with zero Accumulator #2.

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"...

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.

“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?

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?
