That was unbelievable

If your wrists and forearms are loose and turned off then this happens without thinking about or manipulating. Once you begin manipulating in the full swing you will begin manipulating in pitch shots, chips, and putts.

Not explaining it correctly....

i have practiced golf for 1 month , and your channel helps alot, easy to understand, pls keep the channel up thanks alot

Thank you Clay, my shoulders are too flat on my takeaway. I was trying to keep my head still but is impossible with the other swing fault.

funny I just saw an identical pitching lesson on one of the British golf websites. I was checking pitching lessons because thou Im not bad at it I NEED to get it closer to the pin so I can hopefully one putt! Majority of my play doesn’t result in GIR’s but Im always close and therefore good chopping is VITAL. Thanks Clay, can always count in you for golf and tennis stuff!

Hey Clay, Long time viewer, first time commenter. Does this same release pattern work for irons as well? (Minus irons strike down vs up on driver). Love the content!

I like the new guy, clean shaven, young & good looking, intelligent & very well spoken . . . that hairy guy seems little on the gnarly side, chap.

Thanks Clay, you deliver each and every time with you videos.

Happy Gilmore taught this method

I love your easy to understand lessons. Thanks.

Great explanations as always my man!!

good!!!

I’ve been taking lessons for 3 years. I’ve made decent improvement, but I’ve been stuck for over a year. This video exactly sums up my problem. I can’t wait to practice and see what it looks like at the range. Thanks for the great vid.

For those who have seen the “throw the clubhead” videos-like Steve Pratt and his “outthrow” and lots of others that you can find on UZwindow under “throw the clubhead-this instruction is just the opposite and I, for one, can’t reconcile the two approaches. Many videos instruct you not to be a “handle puller,’” yet that’s exactly what is being taught here. And if there is some difference between what is being taught and the dreaded handle pulling, is that difference going to be discerned by the average golfer watching this video? If there is, it’s lost on me. But then again, there appears to be a million contradictions in golf instructions, and not just on UZwindow.

Thank you clay you are awesome I’m only 19 and dealing with this already 🙏

Hahaha... this is so complicated. Check out Jim Venetos, who teaches a swing with no shoulder turn, no weight shift and no swing thoughts, and virtually guarantees an inside-out, circular descending strike that produces a nice tight draw with power, every time.

Great video Clay. My question is do you consciously release the club as you turn or kinda "let it happen"? Cuz I think I can do what you show here with short irons but have a hard time hitting the ball with 6 iron up if I don't consciously release the club at hip high.....maybe I'm not swinging correctly with long irons. Thx

Nice explanation of spine and shoulder angles. Thanks.

I signed up about a year ago and it has definitely helped my game even though it’s hard to break bad habits. Everything that Clay has showed that is wrong I’ve done it. These videos are the best at explaining how to work towards a better swing.

This video was cheeky.

What a Great Drill !!!!! Good Job explaining it 👍

Question: do you have to rent out a golf course by the hour to make these videos?

Nice, great video Clay.

Struggling big time on understanding when to turn over my wrist. I keep coming into the swing on 7 o'clock / 1 o'clock direction try trying to square the face, but I keep slicing and then when I try to turn my hands more I feel like I am making the slice even bigger.

I’m hitting the front basket sometimes

Setup setup setup... Great Video Clay

Clay my Friend you are killing it with your videos 📹 thank you... dw

Can we get a love button

Best. Agreed. Nice to hear the why's and why nots.

Do you feel like your right elbow is tucking close to the side some when chipping these 60 and 80 yard shots? I’m thinking like one of your compression irons where you push the right elbow forward bending the shaft to get the rotation feel? Is that the same here?

what if your 29 years old and have all the speed in the world but also have a bad hip? no matter what I do I cant get my right hip down at impact

This is the video I've been searching for, it covers (or uncovers) major items that I have been missing in my setup. It has taken awhile to digest it all but every point is important. This video has pointed out flaws in my setup and swing that I felt were wrong but have not previously found an answer for and I have watched a lot of videos. Thanks for a great set of lessons all in one.

I went from struggling to break 110 last may to breaking 90 yesterday, big thanks to you and your advice

Good stuff Clay. With the full shot I have a tendency to hit the occasional fat shot, is this because my angle tilt is backwards and haven’t transferred my weight? How do you transfer weight and keep angle tilt behind ball?

Watch his videos on "stable fluid spine"

Love this tip for hitting pitches and or short shots. Gotta find the bottom of the swing....👍

I feel like on your back swing your not rotating your body, but rather you arms and shoulders are rotating. On your downswing you’re body starts to rotate just as you make contact with the ball. Is that what I should be thinking about when I swing? My full swing is great. I can’t chip or pitch to save my life.

Hi Clay, do you recommend this training also with Driver ? Is it a good idea to try the same type of exercises(but inverses) for the fade ? Regards, Vincent.

Would you every do course management style videos. Like situations, mind sets, club choice, everything really lol?

It’s so much complicated from a simple Stack & Tilt. So much manipulation! OMG.

saooWhosh WhooSH! Thanks I needed this!

Thanks Clay. Are the shorter wedge shots mostly an arm swing or are you moving your chest in unison?

This is great Clay! It was just yesterday that I finally figured out how to do a fluid full swing and recorded myself when I did it. I wasn’t sure why when I pitched, I was more on my lead foot versus a full swing where there is more of a weight shift. This cleared that up and made me realize I am doing it correctly.

Brilliant video. My striking has been off massively. No wonder, I'm spinning like a chopper blade. This spine position feels way more stable and I feel like a wound coil at my base.

1:25 nice chip Clay

what would be the down side to having your nose over the ball at impact with full swing? Excellent video BTW !!

You’d probably get a tendency of push shots. Seems like it’d be easy to get the club stuck behind you

So no shoking down on the grip?

I saw a 3 inch gap

I love You Clay 😍

great instruction helped me improve

Your teaching is second to none bro ,keep going mate from England :)

Sorry about my 1st comment I really enjoy ur drills

Why do we want to do this? Should this be a regular shot with all clubs?

Is this guy kidding!! Nobody needs a push draw to play well..😆 🤣 wow!! Really guys??

You’re a great teacher

I pull a lot of putts. Would deceling have anything to do with it? I'm going to try these drills.

What if I'm getting 40° of angle at impact and hitting the ball too high with about 4800 spin rate?

I was at the range this afternoon and could bot stop pulling it. I rarely have this miss. I went to google found this and watched it..... then viola! No more pull shots! Thanks.

Tks for the pro teaching. Which I can’t afford.

The price is shocking for a plastic matt

Best professional instructor I have seen so far. Video on Sand shots excellent too. great job..Now headed to range ...

So we’re now teach guys to get stuck inside and flip their hands through impact? Lmao they will literally let anyone teach this game now days

he had too much red bull

wow Thanks Clay Ballard. Nice lesson that i can learn. Greets from holland (the Netherlands).

Thanks Clay. I really appreciate your videos and emphasis on bringing about change by doing something much different than the good old rut. I like to drop in on your videos to tune up my game and I always find them useful. Keep up the good work.

For the amateur this is very good advice if you understand the mechanics of a catapult swing. If you will notice pro's don't really swing the club until the hands reach waist level. Torso shoulders and hips creates an illusion of swinging the club. They do it so effortlessly it's hard to catch.

Instead of trying to change it I play to the right of green and it’s changed my game . For years I’ve tried to fix it just to get mad and barely break 90 . Now I play it and throw darts .

Clay as usual, another example of the best golf instruction on the internet. I stay in my posture simply by driving my right shoulder at the ball. Its a feel thing. If I keep my right shoulder in the same posture and drive it into the ball, everything just works. I visualize DJ or Lee Westwood and how they do this, Tommy Fleetwood too. If you watch them from down the line you can see the right shoulder just driving at the ball.

Zzdff

still don't get the difference after watching the whole 40 mins video lol

Thank U so much for reminding me of the importance of the left hand/arm in the impact zone - Yes I am one of those who the last years have been overdoing the right arm pushing movements.

Clay I learned that the follow through is a crucially important meditative part of the swing. The left hand has to bring the club to the end of the swing. It’s best not to overly use the right hand in the swing. Any thoughts towards the use of the right hand in the follow through would burden the total effort. You probably naturally have great balance and great form. I think this thought can lead to even greater consistency. Have you ever competed in the UZwindow golf tournament?

been doing the release since day 1, didn't know any other way. Maybe not taking lessons has its advantages? haha

Great lesson! Great communicator! Gankas overwhelms me. You keep it simple. Many thanks.

I’m hitting my drives with the TaylorMade M1 that Dustin Johnson loved in 2015-2016 and said it was the best club in his bag! I’ll bet Dustin would like to go back to it. Maybe he does during practice rounds.

I enjoy that you talked about closing the club head face at address. You said to hit the outside of the ball. Hit the outside while coming from the inside to create the draw. The downswing plane is different from the backswing plane. I have a blister on top of my left big toe knuckle. I tape it so it doesn’t get red and sensitive. I think if I keep my toes off the ground I can roll to the outside of my left foot and get slightly greater club head speed. Friday at Dyker Beach GC in Brooklyn, NYC I hit a 294 yard drive from the white tees. The 7th hole is a par 5 482 yards (491-482). I’m a very flexible 70 year old guy who ran 14 marathons in the 1990’s & 2000’s. After a 28 year break I’m back very much in the game. I’ve written 20,000 words on the golf swing thanks in large measure to the great videos of UZwindow. Imagining the golf swing is a meditative art form. I had a chance to reach a green that many golfers don’t get a chance to do. I didn’t hit the green but I feel it will happen. Be Great Be Good and Be Lucky

The key is to be white and fairly well built

When you open the face of club are you changing your direction feet are lined up? Is leading edge squared to target after opening to add more bounce?

👌
