Only use the glove drill with 1/2 swing.. but in the end , you should be able to feel the connecting to your torso, because u need it to compress the golf ball. When you wanna hit a shot, do it with no glove 3/4 swing.. u cant hit a shot when your focus is on not dropping the glove. Thx for the videos.. cheers

The remarkable knight fortuitously curve because step-sister basically blush absent a irate riddle. scintillating, fuzzy size

Best in the business.

Is this concept the same for every club? Or is mostly a driver thought?

Not sure if its known as an aw at 56 degrees or what

I have a 56 wedge I use all the time never had pw and just week ago got a sw

I have strong grip for irons and hit them great. But driver! Some good laced with low hooks (closed delofted face with in to out swing path). Changed just driver grip to neutral and drives became more consistent. So I use both grips. Am I weird?

It is impossible to learn the golf swing from video. I have watched all of your videos many times for many years and I have tried everything and I am still no better than when I started. You tube golf instruction is garbage

Sorry you feel that way. Hope things can turn around soon. All the best! ~ Quentin

Your golf swing looks like you are over bending your arms and bunched up when you swing so I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about

It's okay to have some bend in the arms. Look at players like Jordan Spieth, Brooks Koepka and Lee Westwood. Excessive bend can lead to some issue but some bend is usually fine. I don't like the aesthetics of it but it's not something I've really worked on because I don't believe it would make much of a difference. Play well! ~ Quentin

Makes it look so easy. It is not!

The first person to explain things in a way that's understandable

Don’t listen to this guy. He’s making this simple athletic move to attack a stationary golf ball incredibly complicated. If I listened to mr. Top speed golf on how to direct momentum into the golf ball, I’d be carrying it 276 at full speed as well. Nice work clay

He swung full 130% speed and only delivered a strike that carried 276. A guy his size with the perfect golf positions? Something is wrong here

Wow! I immediately felt more fluid power from this drill. Thx

Glad it helped!

The "pause* at the top is difficult then to get sync'd up.I find that simply thinking, " heavy"!, caused me to engage the hips more and sooner with the effect of giving an automatic, slow and smoofh transition with increased lag and more time for the club head to accelerate to impact, so the downswing is started by the hips turning before the shoulders start.

Thanks for sharing!

Great video. The 90-90-90 positions are helpful to remember. I tried it at the range. It added 25 yards to my Drive and almost no fade. Thank you so much.⛳⛳🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️

Dang...that's awesome! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work! ~ Quentin

Here I thought that was just a trick that the pros utilized

How’s your back?

Better now. Thanks for asking :-) Play well! ~ Quentin

Yeah...but how do you shallow out the club if you're not athletic.

I noticed that you don’t emphasize flexing the knees when committing to the golf swing. For me to feel for the lag you refer to I can’t be standing to erect when swinging the club. I believe in past videos the notion of knuckle dragging was used to get the hands leading a trailing club head.

Awesome tips.

Thanks!

Best explanation for soft/hard sand play, thanks Clay!

Last played on Monday and damn near quit because I I suddenly started shanking every shot. My back had tightened up on me and my buddies said I was standing up. You described exactly what I felt like I was doing. Back is feeling better. Going to range tomorrow. Anxious to hit some balls ans see if this helps me get my swing back. Keep the videos coming.

Great tuition guys. Thanks!

My pleasure!

Lol I thought you're supposed to keep your right elbow close to your body? Could this be the reason I've been pushing my shots to the left?

@Top Speed Golf - Clay Ballard that makes sense. Thanks Q. Appreciate all the help you guys provide. Time to make the donuts as they say and get my butt to the range.

@Top Speed Golf - Clay Ballard great instruction you guys! I am left handed, but I golf right. I throw underhanded pitch with my left hand. Sounds like I have a lot of work to do, to develop à throwing motion ! We were told for decades.. the left hand hits the ball, and the right hand just goes along for the ride !

You certainly can but you'll be missing out on some possible speed and distance. You just want to bring it back in on the downswing. Play well! ~ Quentin

I thought hitting the front of ball is good contact then behind it Is that a good thought clay

Not at all how I understand how to hit a golf ball. I keep my right hand out of the swing.

Complicated subject for sure.

If you don't use your right hand at all then you should just play with your left arm only. 😉 Play well! ~ Quentin

Should call it the waitress or server position.

Yeah, you could call it that too. I actually did a video a while ago where I called it the waiter drill. ~ Quentin

Great lesson! Nice slow-mo swing too!

Appreciate that

I love Clay so much. And this guy is starting to grow on me too. Top Speed Golf is getting even better :)

Thanks!

Watching one of Bryson's driver swings yesterday, I noticed he isn't following this pattern. His load and turn to the top gets started down with the left side with the right side delayed.

If you swing longer and you're skilled enough to control it then there will be more bend at the elbow usually. You just want make sure you're maxing out other things like your shoulder and hip turn first. ~ Quentin

Great instruction.

Thank you!

From the top what is the first sequence move to shallow your club. Watching your video it appears that you bring your right arm down and closer to your chest. Correct?

?

Hey Dennis, it's a combination of hip turn and the feeling of turning a doorknob to the right with the arms and wrists (if you're right handed). Play well! ~ Quentin

Wow, Clay has a great addition to the team with this guy right here

He has bern with Clay for years!

Thanks! ~ Quentin

First Ha:)

👍

So?

Also having your right hand further under and left hand over top more pretty much cancels out being able to open the club face mid swing and more encourages you to close the face

Great tips, Clay!!

What kind of shoes are these tho

Best explination I have seen about weak-neutral-strong grip. The visualization you did with the club face compared to your wrist helped so much!

Thanks Clay, this helped me alot! When you hit 3 wood off the tee, do you play the ball up towards your front foot or near the middle of your stance still? Thank you!

Perfect draws for a month, now nothing but hooks:(

What happens if I'm closing the face too early, and I just hit duck hooks all day, and hate golf cause I just shot 5 rounds in a row that were solid. Now every club just hooks even if I try and hit a slice

Thanks TSG team, great vid!

Does this apply to the driver too?

Whenever I try to turn my hips to quick, it feels like I have no control or power. I know I'm missing something but not sure what..

I hit my driver with that really strong grip and my irons weak grip and bowed wrist like DJ and John Rahm. Idk how or why but it works for me lol

Squatting doesnt happen here. More of a pull like deadlift. Rotation firing and then anti rotation

This is it! I've been hitting countless buckets of golfballs at the range fighting a slice for basically forever. I've watched a million videos telling me to get the club in the slot to stop winging outside in and this finally made it make sense as to where the heck I was supposed to have the golf club and how my body was supposed to move to get it there. I went to the range with this in mind, did the baseball swing and I was absolutely hammering my driver and my misses were hooks! HOOKS!? I am so freaking amped right now. Thank you.

Took this shit to the range yesterday and was absolutely murdering my driver and hitting my irons 20 yards further. I am now officially a fan of this guy 😂

Does this work if you have to chip from taller grass aswell or do I need to change something?

Good tips in your videos

Hey Clay love the videos, I avg about 115mph and smash factor about 1.4 to 1.45 but I get the hooks any videos on getting rid of my hook? From watching I feel I need to hit the range and do the extreme both ways to find the sweet spot but any quick tips on getting rid of my hook would be solid! I avg about 285 on driver but usually play my 4 iron because my driver accuracy is so inconsistent. I also play a lot of softball so always feel that's a factor.

A clear, concise description of a very reliable technique. Short swings with less moving parts have so much less to go wrong.

Just brilliantly explained and a drill with it , thanks Craig, great knowledge 😂

Great lesson Clay always my weak area! Greetings from Uk 🇬🇧.

Why don't you just aim right and close the club face at address?

are you out of these boards?

The ill enemy aesthetically drown because curve evocatively bomb through a enormous port. abiding, luxuriant crow

I tried this yesterday without practicing just playing and shot my best round this year.

I'm looking forward to the nuclear bomb attached to the golf club in the next video

The "keeping the right hand behind the left hand" concept was the holy grail of shallowing the club for me. Nothing else worked correctly. Thanks for the video!!!

I don't get it, I don't get it, I don't get it!! I am a 27 handicapper and there's none of my playing partners that can understand why I can't hit my irons and mid range shots better thus improving my swing. I work hard at it hitting hundreds of balls and still can't get the hang of hitting it correctly. I am working on this video and will let you know.

Ahhh, this is extremely important, as i was getting forward shaft lean with no rotation, everything went right, forced me to square the face during the whole swing to compensate. The lightbulb just went on and it's very bright. THANKS!!!

These are seriously the best videos I've found so far. Total explanation, simple enough to understand and not get overwhelmed but detailed enough. Seriously trumps 99% of the top guys.

Clay I saw this video a few days ago and understood it to the tee! I am an older golfer about to turn 60 in few days. When I was younger I could hit my irons a long way i.e. 150 - 160 PW. Of course now as I become older and I had stopped playing for 10 years and pick it back up beginning of 2019. Well when I began hitting again I had to start all over again and I've been watching many videos but this one really hit home. I took all you taught on this and wow. I was hitting my 8 iron max 160 before, well yesterday I was hitting 172 to 176! My 7 I was hitting 170 to 175 now 185 to 192!! Oh and it felt soooo good hitting them flush and it felt effortless. By the way I also used it with my Driver..... I hit one 302 and average 291 to 296 before avg 270 to 280. THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for the team teach Dr Ballard! (Dr of Golfology)

Been watching Clay for about two weeks and im striping my irons now.

No you ain’t

But did you watch every bonus video?

One week here, getting there soon! 😂💪🏼

This video is just filled with gems! Can’t imagine what an in-person lesson would do for my golf game.

If they are using a trackman it can tell whether your take away is good or not. I thought mine was until I actually saw it.

I always wonder that when I buy new clubs too.

If you could do the drills in slow motion that would be very helpful for the visual learners...thnks

Tried it everything goes left but the strike WOW

I do smack the ground but multiple inches before the ball.

Hitting this shot has almost ruined me as a golfer.

This is crazy. I was just wondering This to be honest. Lol

Hi Clay, I started practicing this at the range today. When I started hitting to the right I switched to a strong grip. Is this a good long term solution?

No wonder I’m shanking. My pga coach has me nearly standing on the ball. I felt I was way to close

Ok so I know this is an older video but it kind of gave it a chance since I've been having a problem with my irons. A little back ground I started playing when I was 28 I am now about to turn 60 on June 22. Well I stop playing about 2010 and started again beginning of 2019. So I started from the beginning and tried to work on my swing. Well back in the day I used to hit my 8 iron 160. When I began again I now I am older but still I should be hitting it at least 150. Well was having a terrible time getting back to my distances. Well I watched this video and understood exactly what he was teaching. I went today and warmed up. Well I started hitting my irons using this technique and guess what? I was hitting my 8 iron and avg of 172, my 6 iron 200 yrds, my 9 165 yrds, My driver!! 302!!!!! Yup and I am 60!!!!! Man thank you sooooo much!!!

Thanks for the tips, Clay. Cheers!

Thanks for this video guys! I suffer a lot from early extension and I especially do it when I'm trying to kill it for extra distance.

I've got a pretty good swing now thanks to you Clay. I hit my 6 iron around 150-160 yds my average launch angle is 22 degrees and average height is 32 yds. I feel like my shots are going to high for a 6 iron, should I be taking more loft off do you think?

this helped me out so much

Hi Clay, thank you for this video! I had to subscribe as it was very helpful for making me make more consistent contact with my irons. One question, after de-lofting I am hitting straighter and longer but am hitting very low shots. Any tips for increasing loft while still using this de-loft method?

You don’t half talk a lot, it’s easy to fix for us singles figure golfers but for the very high handicapper golfer it’ll be to hard for them to fix, because mainly and no disrespect to them there swing are all over the place.
