Just watched Adam Scott never “shallows” out the club. Back on plane in the backswing down on plane through the ball. I know your loading content, but your losing the simple message you stated with. Weight transfer and the A line release. Still love your method but your adding moves that are unnecessary. Average or even single digit players are going to get lost.

Thanks for the constructive feedback. Play well!

Right on the money

Thanks!

What brand of impact bag is this?

It's the Impact Cube made by Eyeline Golf: https://eyelinegolf.com/collections/swing-aids/products/impact-cube Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor

the Best golf coach thanks🙏💪🎯⛳

Glad you think so!👍

Clay I've been a fan of yours for years and you have been a great help. However I have a suggestion about how this video could be better. You talk a lot about "weight" shift whereas what really matters is a "pressure shift". These are two quite different things and the difference is critical. The goal is really to shift pressure while keeping weight shift relatively centered and within control, If weight moves too far right it's impossible to recover from and hit a good shot. It might be worth doing a video using something like Swing Catlyst to demonstrate the difference.

Good point!! I’ve always thought weight shift was pushing down into the ground. Loading the weight into one thigh then the other. Turning the hips as though the were boxed in. But I still fight sliding and getting stuck. Love his vids

Thanks for the feedback. Play well!

PS You lifting your left toe is a very good example. What this does is cause a rapid pressure shift onto your right foot without needing a big weight shift.

Best you tube golf coach. For reals

Thanks for the kind words!

The best coach and it's free. Thanks!

Glad you think so!

This is your best video ever. Thanks clay

Wow, thanks!

Hammer right on the nail. Well done sir 👍👍👍

Thanks 👍

Your videos are awesome, but I was wondering if you could help me with something I have been struggling with for a while. Do you have an Instagram I could reach you at?

@Top Speed Golf - Clay Ballard thanks for reaching back, I was wondering if you could help me with turning over the club too much or too soon causing a pull/hook my swing is in-out

Excellent video. Using that long PVC pipe idea tells me how much trail-side shoulder-tilt I need at impact. Now I just need to train my hips to be open and facing the target at ball-contact. Thank you for this, and keep up the great work 👍

Glad it was helpful! 👍

Definitely best coach ever makes it so easy learning the drills my short game has improved so much it's not my weak part of my game now . Fantastic videos 👍👍

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Keep up the good work!

best golf tip in the last 10 years; total understanding; great visual

Glad you like it so much. Play well!

If you LOVE golf like this comment and please consider checking out my channel!

Really interesting video. One always can learn a lot with your explanations. Thank you very much.

My pleasure!

Clay you are turning me into a really good golfer. Shot 75 in my club medal today to win some golf balls, my best ever on a pretty tough course, fast greens. You are hands down the best teacher online and a gentleman. God bless you from a South African friend living in south island New Zealand

Awesome! Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Brilliant video Clay🏌‍♂️😊👍

Thanks 👍

Amazing video. My exact problem as a beginner is fatting or thinning it. This should correct it. One recommendation, after you show the motions and actually hit the ball, could you also share a slow motion video of your swing with that 6 iron.

Glad you liked it. Will take your suggestion into advisement. Thanks!

Oh man, my wife keeps asking why I keep an old tennis racket behind my desk in the home office. I can’t imagine what she’s going to say about curtain rods!! You’re getting me in shit, Clay 😅 As always, something good for me to work on and build awareness of my swing motions.

Haha! 😂 Didn't realize I was such an agent of chaos!😀

So much excellent content. Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it!

This video is awesome. I feel like I’m getting too secret training I should be paying for!

Haha! 😂 Glad you like it so much.

A-class dynamics👌

Thanks!

My golf game definitely improved with your tips! I just started a couple of weeks ago :)

Great to hear! Keep up the good work!

Keep watching! 2 years of clay and he got me shooting in the 70’s last year.

Certainly Clay has the best videos on YTube. On an unrelated matter I do believe that's a KBS shaft in his irons, or at least the one we saw.

Thanks for the kind words and yes, those are KBS shafts. Play well!

This dude is starting to become a mythical character in my head.. like a Chuck Norris type figure that never stops working.. Clay Ballard doesn’t do push-ups he “pushes the ground down”

@Top Speed Golf - Clay Ballard seriously lol🤷🏻‍♂️

Haha! 😂😂😂 Clay and Chuck Norris walk into a building and it explodes because one building cannot contain that much awesomeness! 😀 Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor

Great vid Clay which makes sense for iron play. How would we adapt these tips for driver seeing that wrist positioning could be different as we are hitting up.

The swing is the same for all full shots. The difference with a driver is the ball is moved forward in the stance so it can be impacted on the upswing. Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor

what if your opposite to over the top? so your divots are left to right and your miss is a hook?

Then I'd work on doing the total opposite and try to get my swing path going more out to in until I started fading the ball and then I'd back off to square everything up. Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor

Absolutely love this

@Top Speed Golf - Clay Ballard can't wait to meet you, Stay safe!

Glad you like it so much. Play well!

First class instruction with beguilingly simple principles .

Glad you think so!

You're the best golf coach out there Clay, Your instruction has greatly improved my game! Thanks!!

Thanks! Happy to help.

Clay, has done more to improve my swing than any other instructor I've used. I quit golfing for over 5 years because I got so bad. I'm 71, and I'm crushing the ball again. Keep up the good work,Clay. All this happened because I started using the Top Speed Golf system. It works PERIOD.

Good stuff, Rick. Thanks for the endorsement and keep up the good work!

Great drill! It does make it easy to understand. Thanks!

Glad it helped!

The best coach I've had without ever meeting!

Thanks for the kind words. Play well!

This is one of your very best instructional videos Clay. Really love the pole and bag drill. Top notch!

Glad you liked it!

WOW!!!

Thanks!

nice 🤑🤑💚💚🖤💟💟

Thanks!

Great video Clay. Your videos have helped me a great deal with my woods, driver, irons and wedges. Can you do a video on how to putt on greens and how to read them? Also the difference between slow and fast greens and how to read the break between the two.

Positioning the club to match the forearm is definitely a different feel than im used to. Doing it in a baseball swing is definitely helpful .Thanks. Have to try that at the range.

My pleasure! Good luck!

I tried this last night with an alignment stick. I can do it 100 out of 100 times with that in my chest. Take that out, put a PW in my hands, and I cast like whoa. I realize it won't come overnight, but with the sim in garage, I know I have the arena, now I just have to make it click.

Keep working at it and you'll get there. Good luck!
