This post has me a little confused as Mike Bender doesn't teach S&T. I work with a Mike Bender protege and it is the farthest thing from S&T. Also Bender is a advocate of trackman. Most of Bender's teaching is based on Hogan's principles. He is well regarded and his work with Zach Johnson speaks for itself.
Mike Bennett is one of the founders of S&T any chance Bender got confused for Bennett?

there are some real haters of bender out there. i don't really know what is right or wrong about his teaching. i've been to bender's academy here in central florida. it's a decent facility, and the students who are there practicing have incredible talent. i had a couple conversations in passing with mike, and he seemed like an ok guy but with a big ego just below the surface. granted, i think that can be said about most big-name teachers, and certainly doesn't say anything about whether he is effective.
