If any of you are new to the game and confused by all the advice you’re receiving or don’t know which advice is right. Listen to this guy. It takes half of a life time to figure this stuff out on your own. This is 95% gold.
This information and they way it is passed on is just pure gold dust. The best thing I have done for my game was signing up with the Top Speed Golf system. Thanks a lot Clay & team !
I have been working on the top speed golf system for two months now and yesterday a was at the driving range and a local pro came over to me and said I have been watching you swing and you have got a lot better fast who is teaching you! I said Clay Ballard top speed golf. To top it off I was able to shoot 8 over for the 18 hole round, Thanks Clay this system works
Clay is the best instructor on youtube. I have never seen anyone break down the swing so well and so comprehensively. I have tried many of these drills and they really work.
thanks again clay , youre by far my favorite golf guy on youtube , i dont feel like you are pushing some unnecessary marketing , just pure golf knowledge and a laid back guy !
Hi Clay, I'm in Vegas where my club is still open for play. I've been a a decent player (4 handicap) for years but every now and then my game goes south. Had a recent tournament at my club where my game fell apart, which is usual when I play under pressure. I end up with too many swing thoughts when things don't go right and I just want the round to get over... Played yesterday after watching this video, and my only thought was to "cover the ball" and kept picturing your video in my head. I did my best to forget about positions, shallowing, etc and just allow myself to swing freely with just this in mind. Found my best swing in some time, hitting distances I used to have (190 7 iron). The best part was my driver came back to life using the same swing thought. 300-330 off the tee yesterday. By far my favorite video on you tube (at the moment lol). thank you Clay!
This is pure gold! Everyone else will make you pay for this instruction. Golf digest and tiger woods will make you pay for content just like this. They want to keep these tips secret unless you pay for it. You are a Saint and a great instructor! Thank you!
Your instruction has changed since the days of lag golf. I've gotten so much out of this, I bought your new series after i watched ONE Intro video, walked out on the course and hit drives 20-30 yards farther on each of the 9holes. Im about to start the whole series...
I've watched nearly all of your videos and this one is the best. All the "bad" stuff you mentioned is what gets me in trouble. I've already gone to the range and now hitting it better. thanks!
im not gonna say this video changed everything for me, but it did give me a new way to think about the downswing with creating lag and getting the lever action from the moving upwards while rotating. i hit everything further today by at least 10-15 yards. got my 150 yard 7 iron back! thank you!! all i want to do is practice now haha
I’m 64 and have lost so much distance over the past several years. This is a great review to help me stay focused on the key points in a number of your other videos on how to gain back some of distance I have lost. Thanks!
There are good reasons you have so many followers Clay. You are indeed a brilliant instructor.Your 3 -wood tip , namely hitting slightly down on the ball ( rather then sweeping ) has positively transformed my ability to use this club. If you ever come to Australia, l would love to host you and your friends at my club, the "Grand" on the Gold Coast, Queensland. ( Promise l won't ask for free tips) All the best,. Dennis Evans.
my gosh Clay is the best ever on details. Ive said this every time I comment on here but you are the beast of instruction. I dealt with that today and thanks to you I have a more clear understanding on what I need to be thinking of. Look forward to another day in Vegas with golf. God bless you!
Clay your explanation of the relationship between the 45 Deg. clubhead direction and your body turn squaring the clubface at impact answers so many questions I have had on the iron play. Thank you. You do a great job.
The video on chipping and this one sort of help me understand the swing. Most people, including me, don't understand the swing. I'm a good solid 10 handicap which means I can shoot anywhere from 78 to 90. I can be going along great; get tired or something and then start searching for a swing instead of relying on a grooved swing. I constantly fight: the path of the club head (in my mind; or the shortest/longest distance on the course; between my ears) and how it is supposed to come into the ball at impact. The club head animation on the chipping (one hop stop) was great. I relate the club head to my left hand. Back of my hand is the face of the club, bottom of the hand is the bottom of the club, etc. I know you are probably going to say what my pro says. Take the hands out of it; and then, when I swing; he says your right hand pushed the left hand over. In other words; he just sort of contradicted himself. What should my hands and wrist be doing through the swing in relation to the club head? Is there anyway for you to animate the angle of the club head through the swing and give me a target to hit at impact? I can handle a miss; but a miscue is hard to deal with.
Wow I watched this video last night and played today. I always flip the club because I just didn't really see how to do it the right way watching several other videos. What an improvement in my contact. I had 4 Birdie's today playing 18 holes. You are a game saver thank you!!!!!
It's seems you have been watching me hitting because I make all mistakes that you mention in your videos. And It's very useful to see your videos since I discovered them. Thank you very much!!!
These are the best golf instruction videos I’ve seen in the ten years I’ve been playing golf. This really helped me make better contact and ball trajectory. These are things I’ve heard before, but Clay has a special teaching talent to make me understand these concepts, plus great drills to help me implement these changes into my game. Thanks Clay!
I have watched numerous iron striking videos, trying to improve my consistency with them. I can 100% say this has been the most beneficial video I have watched by far! Thank you a ton for taking the time to go through everything!
Awesome tip with great visuals. When I video my swing I see what I am doing wrong and then when I see Clay swing I see what I am doing wrong as comparison to try and emulate what Clay is talking about. I just signed up for another instructor and I will for sure subscribe to Clay next as he really breaks it down
Thanks for these drills. It makes me smack my irons and hit them way longer. I nearly played an even PAR Round on the front 9 with HC 21,4. Thanks a lot Clay for these tips. Thats how golf makes tons of fun.
I need to work on my hips / body positioning when using my irons. I have a difficult time consistently using my irons and with this video realized my hips are often popping up too early in the swing. When I saw you duff the iron shots into the water and explained why I felt like I was being called out! . Very inciteful video, thanks for the help Clay!
Clay thanks. Was doing this on the range other day couldn’t figure out why I was hitting irons good for once. I also made sure I was more relaxed than usual. I found out for me if I don’t remind myself to relax on irons I chunk the ground before the ball
I've been watching your videos clay and I've gained about 10 to 15 yards on my irons and likes it at so pretty great for me I think you doing a good job thank you
I've been hitting behind forever and no one could tell me what i was doing wrong. Just went outside, grabbed a U wedge, asked the wife to follow my ball. I normally, on a good swing can only hit it 70 yards. Today, I hit it , using this information, 90-110 yards and my diffit was in front instead of in back. Wow! The light is turned on. Thanks Clay!!!!
@@TopSpeedGolf Played wolf today with the guys at the club and actually got picked three times all because of what you taught me. Thanks buddy. THE very best instruction I've got in hitting my irons.
The concept of compression....is what really taught me that i have to bear down on the ball.....and not try to loft it. It just happens naturally from the club loft. My job is simply to bring down a strong solid centred swing right behind the ball. Made my swiing go from less than 50% success...to well over 90% success in hitting a solid iron shot.
Great easy to understand instructions , Clay! I have been struggling with "covering the ball" and getting the divot out in front of the ball. I tend to have a brushing motion so I don't chunk it or hit it fat. I can't wait to go out to the practice range and try these drills. Thank you for all your instructions, they are so logical and easy to follow. Also, you do a wonderful job keeping up with all the comments posted on your videos. The interaction in top notch! Keep it going!
This is excellent information but it's hard to put together. I've been playing golf for 4 years and it's the hardest thing I've ever committed to. I can't get out of the high 90's. The swing happens so fast and it has always been hard for me to put all the information together in that short amount of time and something usually goes wrong. But keep doing this excellent work. I'm sure it's helping someone excel!
Hey Clay, as a low handicap golfer this is where I’m weak and need to improve. I can bomb the driver, but my irons seem to lack in distance 😕 I usually grab an extra club length to compensate.
@@TopSpeedGolf Hey Clay! Worked this yesterday at the grass range, and my ball striking is really solid now. Your concept on staying over the ball, and cover it on the down swing got me hitting my irons further than before. Thank you 🙏🏽
Good lesson Clay. I try to cover the ball as you talk about but, I panic at times thinking I will not extend upwards at the right moment and sometimes dig into the turf and hit the ball fat.
Hi Jerry, if you rotate so that your lead shoulder is working up while they club is working down then you won't dig as much. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
@@TopSpeedGolf Followed along all the drills first in a session at home then on the DR. Really helpful, thanks again. I only struggled with the step drill. Also need more work on shallowing of the club in the downswing and holding lag. All the best for 2021. Peter
I've been coming a bit over the top and not releasing my hips and getting more heavy or fat shots than I'd like to. This was an amazing lesson. Thank you!👏
Great video - I've had trouble standing up out of my posture ever since a hip replacement. I play my irons 1/2" long and 1 degree up. This makes me think I might not need the upright lie and extra length. I am 6' tall.
You can try adjusting your clubs and see if that makes a difference. Before I did that though, I would go through the drill in this video for awhile and see if that helps first: th-cam.com/video/i-ZDtuWQLkI/w-d-xo.html Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor

You make golf seem so easy, like I could watch your videos, then shoot under par. You should have some videos, where you take an average golfer who is struggling a bit, and get them dialed in. ( And sure, I would volunteer).
I tested my club head speed using optishot with my regular swing versus covering the ball. And the covering ball method is definitely faster...even at half a swing
I absolutely love how you explain and demonstrate the drill. By the way I am Lefthanded golfer and would like to know how to purchase the (Left handed golfing)) grip piece that you were using in that gripping video. Thanks again and keep up your good work! Maurice W
Changing my grip to get under the bottom palm instead of in the middle and turning my right hand stronger and keeping my left arm straight event tho i cant go back that far makes flush hits way way way more. I have a great drill. If you set your driver up to door jam or something and grip club and get in position that feels natural to push the head as hard as you can would be the correct grip ball position and body set up just by seeing how u gotta get to be the most sturdy and powerful pushing the head against the jam. And irons grip it and get in natural position you feel most powerful ball position body set up and grip just pushing the head down into the ground in the most powerful grip n posture naturally to feel most powerful pushing down. Set from there. It will change your whole game along with finding the right clubs. And then start hit all your irons flush 15 feet and find flush spot with very short shots and build up from there. Do these drills and cut 20 strokes off u game
Love your vids. Are you aimed at the target or are you aimed right of the target playing a draw for a 7/6 iron? Im rotating better and now hitting left like I’m pulling the ball. No draw. So wondering about aim. Grew up lined up parallel to the target line created by pin and ball. When I played better as a kid. Regards
Great video. Can't wait to get out there and try it! One point, the flip swing at 1:19 and the de-lofted swing at 5:34 went the same distance yet apparently the flip swing was 20 yrds short of the green but the de-lofted swing made the green. How so?
Hey, great point. I looked into it and I'm pretty sure we had the wrong data on there for the flip swing. I think Clay is hitting a 9 iron and there is no way he his it that far flipping a 9 iron. It probably went 140ish. Sorry for the confusion. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
@@TopSpeedGolf No problem. Guessed it'd be something like that. One other thing watching it back again, am I right in saying if you have a divot after the ball then you must have forward shaft lean?, or is it somehow possible to flip but still take a divot?
Hi Clay, really informative video. When turning, are you left or right side dominant? Do you feel one is better than the other? Thanks for your insight!
Great video thanks quick question if un don’t mind , what about having more shaft lean at address. I’m off to the driving range to work on this today will be back thanks again
Having the shaft leaning forward at address doesn't mean that's where it will be at impact and that's the only place where it matters. If it helps you then by all means :-)

This is excellent information but it's hard to put together. I've been playing golf for 4 years and it's the hardest thing I've ever committed to. I can't get out of the high 90's.

I tested my club head speed using optishot with my regular swing versus covering the ball. And the covering ball method is definitely faster...even at half a swing
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Clay, you're an awesome instructor, and I think you should give the PGA a shot!
Thanks Nathan!
I thought he was pga. I agree really great videos
I absolutely love how you explain and demonstrate the drill. By the way I am Lefthanded golfer and would like to know how to purchase the (Left handed golfing)) grip piece that you were using in that gripping video. Thanks again and keep up your good work! Maurice W
Thanks! You can get it on Amazon but I'm not sure if they have lefty ones.
Changing my grip to get under the bottom palm instead of in the middle and turning my right hand stronger and keeping my left arm straight event tho i cant go back that far makes flush hits way way way more. I have a great drill. If you set your driver up to door jam or something and grip club and get in position that feels natural to push the head as hard as you can would be the correct grip ball position and body set up just by seeing how u gotta get to be the most sturdy and powerful pushing the head against the jam. And irons grip it and get in natural position you feel most powerful ball position body set up and grip just pushing the head down into the ground in the most powerful grip n posture naturally to feel most powerful pushing down. Set from there. It will change your whole game along with finding the right clubs. And then start hit all your irons flush 15 feet and find flush spot with very short shots and build up from there. Do these drills and cut 20 strokes off u game
Thanks for sharing!
Cracking content Clay 👍🏼

Thanks for sharing...great toturial...i learned much from clay..i living in malaysia..
Thanks!
Great!!
Thanks!
Are you an advocate of Stack & Tilt Clay? I'm considering adopting the pre-set impact position because I can stay covering the ball through impact.
No, we are an advocate of the Top Speed Golf System :-). You can swing that way but it's not a very powerful. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Love your vids. Are you aimed at the target or are you aimed right of the target playing a draw for a 7/6 iron? Im rotating better and now hitting left like I’m pulling the ball. No draw. So wondering about aim. Grew up lined up parallel to the target line created by pin and ball. When I played better as a kid. Regards
If you hit a draw then it usually helps to aim a little right of the target and let it draw back. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Hi Clay, you say aim 45 degrees right but are you aiming your feet shoulders to the right or feet shoulders aiming at the flag thanks 🇬🇧👍
your videos are amazing bro
Thanks!
Great video. Can't wait to get out there and try it!
One point, the flip swing at 1:19 and the de-lofted swing at 5:34 went the same distance yet apparently the flip swing was 20 yrds short of the green but the de-lofted swing made the green. How so?
Hey, great point. I looked into it and I'm pretty sure we had the wrong data on there for the flip swing. I think Clay is hitting a 9 iron and there is no way he his it that far flipping a 9 iron. It probably went 140ish. Sorry for the confusion. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
@@TopSpeedGolf No problem. Guessed it'd be something like that. One other thing watching it back again, am I right in saying if you have a divot after the ball then you must have forward shaft lean?, or is it somehow possible to flip but still take a divot?
Hi Clay, really informative video. When turning, are you left or right side dominant? Do you feel one is better than the other? Thanks for your insight!
Here is a video where Clay goes into detail about the weight shift: th-cam.com/video/b-l_4-pzRFI/w-d-xo.html Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor
Great video thanks quick question if un don’t mind , what about having more shaft lean at address.
I’m off to the driving range to work on this today will be back thanks again
Having the shaft leaning forward at address doesn't mean that's where it will be at impact and that's the only place where it matters. If it helps you then by all means :-)
