Hi Shawn
This video/series was what I needed. I was on the verge of giving up on this swing because I kept hitting a extremely low pull hook or completely blocked it to the right.

Previously I seemed to have this notion that I must not use the hands to release. So I used to have a neutral grip, bowed wrist and turned my body to square up the face. Although I had some success with this swing, because I am a weekend golfer, I had some consistency issues, especially when my body felt stiff. Having said that, this notion definitely prevented me from properly executing the swing that you preach. I seemed to have so much tension in the wrist which led to me dragging the handle across the body (i.e. chicken wing) causing a massive slice. Another issue I had from my previous golf notion was that when I wanted to send it further, I seemed to bow the wrist just before starting the down swing, causing a pull/hook.

Fortunately I watched this series last Sunday morning, before going to play in the afternoon. I was able to relax and slow down the swing and properly clear the body so that the arms could naturally release (with a little help from the hands/wrists). I was so surprised that on my first attempt I bombed my drive on the fairway with less effort. I was able to replicate the swing (although on a few occasions, the previous notion sometimes messed with the task at hand) throughout the round.

However, I have a question. Although I am hitting the ball about the same distance, if not a little bit longer, with less effort, I want to hit it further. I get that we need to use 1-2 effort out of 10 but how can I add more speed, hence distance, without over exerting/straining the swing motion?

I know it’s a long comment but I was excited about this new swing that I wanted to share my experience.
