- The game of golf can be so wonderful, but it can also be extremely humbling.
A great round can get derailed quickly by a couple bad shots if you don't know how to adjust on the fly.
Click For Free Video: topspeedgolf.com/your-free-vi... How to Cure a Golf Pull
In today's video, I'm going to focus on a very common "miss", a pulled shot.
Pulled shots can be very frustrating because the shot can feel good, but you look up and it's going well left of the intended target.
If you understand how this has happened, and what you need to do to fix it, you can jump right back on track and save your round.
In this video you'll learn:
~The most common reason you pull the golf ball (and what the pro's do to avoid it)
~A series of drills to ingrain the proper technique up to 10x faster than typical training methods, and
~How all these lessons tie into the Top Speed Golf System
Let's get started.....
I look forward to working with you much more in the future with Top Speed Golf. Good luck with your golf.

Tried this 2 days ago. I only pulled one iron shot all day and hit 13 greens in regulation. In a normal round, I could pull around 5 iron shots which was so frustrating, especially when you are playing from on the fairway. Thanks for the great tip here Clay. I hope others have the same success as I did.
That's great to hear! Thanks for watching!
No s#@t, After watching tons of golf videos for over a year now, THIS video fixed my aim, added 25yards to every club in my bag and got me from 85 to 78 within only 30 days. True story, and I am incredibly skeptical of most TH-cam golf instruction. THIS guy knows golf and this is a CRITICAL video. If you don't understand what he's saying, keep watching and practicing until you do. This can even fix your slice too. 1 missing element, make sure you can touch the top of your kneecap with your right hand from address. Proper Tilt was the Holy Grail and last missing piece for me. Thanks Clay!!
Thanks for sharing!
Gold that touching right knee. Haven’t hooked since seeing this video
Best video I have seen in a while. Every non drive was going left. After watching this I looked at my spine while standing in front of a mirror. Daaaaammmmmn, it was leaning forward. Went to the Sim, tilted my spine and I hit the green almost every shot. Holy crap!! Thanks Clay, great video.
Glad it helped!
I recently had success resolving this 'left' issue by making an over the top practice swing to feel the wrong way of doing it and then making a practice swing the right way. Then I just repeat that 2nd swing when I set up to the ball. It works. Now it see it here via video. Neat.
Thanks for watching!
Been having this issue recently with hitting everything good but pulling and couldn’t understand it until you broke it down. This is why you’re the best instructor on TH-cam in my opinion. World class
Thanks Aaron!
The hula hoop illustration really clarified this for me. Thanks.
Glad the video helped.
Unreal video! I kept thinking it was my grip. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Wow I can't believe this isn't the #1 lesson in golf. This transformed my outside in to a shallow slight inside out swing in one range session. Keeping the spine tilt while transfering forward through impact is challenging though.
Glad it helped out! Thanks for watching!
This guy is the best instructor I have ever watched.
Thanks!
This could be the best advice EVER ! Those first 30 seconds describes exactly what's been happening to me recently ... can't wait to get on the range and try this !
Thanks Jim. Best of luck!
Brilliant instruction right here!!!!!!!!! A+! Clay, you're the best.
I've been struggling with a pulled slight draw for some time now. At 63, I started back playing 10 months ago after a 15 yr layoff and it has been a quite the challenge. This instruction has gotten me back on line and hitting that wonderful high baby draw I wanted. I found your video on Sunday evening, practiced the setup and turn at home, warmed up and played at the course on Tuesday and Thursday. Fantastic!! My low point was much more consistent and was really driving through the ball. The only draw back I found was, I'm going to have to recalibrate my wedge play. The contact was so clean and crisp, I spun two balls off the green on front flag placements. Can't thank you enough Clay!!
Clay this drill really helped me understand the WHY of my iron pulling - thanks very much!
Great to hear!
Dude this is the best explanation I’ve found yet. Thanks
Thanks!
Thanks so much. This helps explain a ton regarding my swing.
My pleasure!
You just described my iron game this year....thanks for the tip!!
My pleasure!
Can't wait to try this out on the range. Thanks Clay!
This helped me sooooo much. Thank you!!
Clear and very helpful to understand the physical logic behind the error
Thank you Clay. All your instructional videos are so well made and top notch. My golf game has vastly improved in a short time because of Top Speed Golf.
Excellent. Glad to hear!
You are the best teacher ever !!!! Life changing with your methods
Thanks for the kind words. Play well!
This was really helpful. I was under the impression I had a grip or hip turn problem, but now I realise that wasn't always the case.
Thanks Nicky!

Hey Clay, just wanted to write a thank you message for this video. I have been hitting the ball pretty pure lately but had a comment from a friend saying I was swinging across myself a bit, took a few videos at the range and I noticed I was pulling my shots pretty badly. Couldn’t work out why and then I saw this video and thought I’d give it a go .... all I can say is wow, what a difference, straight away I was getting the club nice and shallow with an in to out path. Now I’m lining up nice and square to target and hitting perfect high push draws. The swing is looking awesome now and I’m hitting some great shots all because of this one simple change. Thanks again Clay!
HI, thanks for sharing. Keep up the hard work!
Most of golf improvement is trying to figure out what you're doing wrong, it is often not what you think. Great video
Thanks 👍
Good evening. Played golf today in the senior league. Shot an 80 today, have not had a score like that since I was in my 40’s. Thank you for your videos, they really helped. Thank you again.
Nice work! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good shooting! Quentin | TSG Instructor
This makes so much sense. Ive been watching a lot of golf instructional videos to improve my ball striking and they all rightfully talk about pressure on the lead foot and hitting down on the golf ball. With those swing thoughts I guess I naturally changed my spine tilt to be more forward to compensate those things and while my ball striking greatly improved I kept pulling it. This explains a lot. Feels like things are starting to come together for me
Glad to help!
This is going to totally help. Thanks Clay. I was leaning too much forward.
This must be one of your best golf instruction video. Super clear. What a great teacher you are.
Thanks Daniel!
This worked so well I couldn't believe it. Not a single pull at the range this morning after consistently yanking the majority of my long irons. Thanks Clay!
Awesome! My pleasure.
Thanks clay you explain stuff so well its easier to take it in .you have helped my game big time👍👍❤ from 🏴
My pleasure!
Great video Clay! I've been playing great golf all year, but a few weeks ago I started pulling my shots. I've watched a ton of videos how to fix it and I think yours is the best so far :)
Thanks so much! Hope you cure those pulls!
Once again you have shown my problem and provided an easy solution! Thanks so much.
My pleasure!
My man, i want you to know that your videos have shaved so many shots off my game, i am subscribed and always watch your opinion on one of my golf problems before hitting the course, thank you!
I appreciate that
This video definitely helped my pulling. Thank you Clay.
My pleasure Chris!
Wow, this was incredibly helpful! I was saying to the guy I was playing with a couple of days ago that when I start swinging it well the pull shot comes out to play more. Great to see it backed up with this video and what I can do to rectify it! Thanks!
My pleasure Simon!
Wow! that's excellent teaching. Once again you are a great teacher and I Thank You very much.
Thanks!
Great stuff on this channel. The interleaving/variability training is pure gold. I did the interleaving drills from another video with driver and I'm hitting it straighter, even had a soft little draw going today. Now to work on the pull with irons with these!
Great to hear! Thanks for sharing!
Astonishing! I tried the drill at range yesterday & you've absolutely nailed it. Can't believe no one has previously flagged this. Thanks a million Clay.
Thanks David!
I like that your fault videos are emphasizing deliberately practicing the extremes of the setup. I’ll be sure to practice more of the extremes when I get back into golf.
Thanks!
I didn’t realize I was doing this. Great to have you around. Take care.
Glad to help!
This is awesome! Thanks Clay. Love your channel.
Thanks for watching!
Very good presentation. Thanks
You are welcome
Awesome, always been my miss, low left, long, thanks for great info
I agree with your methodology in practicing the extremes to get the feeling.
Thanks Ben!
best golf lesson ever
Great lesson!
Thanks! 😃
Cant wait to try this! I am fighting these exact issues!!
Best of luck!
Thank you for pointing it out!!
No problem!
Great explanation of why I pull my irons, Clay. Thanks for the tips on how to solve the issue.
Glad to help
Have been playing really well this summer, but kept pulling my shots left. This video has transformed my swing. A small change but now I hit them dead straight. Thank you so much!! Martin, Stockholm, Sweden
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
This year I finally accomplished right side bend / spine tilt, like this drill. Not easy to do when you’re short, with short arms and barrel chested. Never realized I was coming out of my spine tilt until it got really bad. Thanks Clay, you are spot on with your teachings.
My pleasure!
Yeszz! Thanks for the giant hoolahoop.. Now i can just aim straight, instead of way, way right... Now it makes sence why i didn't have this problem with my 3-wood, 3 hybrid and driver. I was swinging flatter with those clubs. Super vid. Thnx
Really enjoyed the description.
Thank you!
Great instructions. I was pulling my short irons and could not change anything to correct it. I finally opened the face and everything was straight after that!
Thanks! Glad it helped.
Clay I'm pretty sure your videos have saved my golf game. Your driver instructional videos cured my slice, and now this is going to cure my iron pull. Subscribed and thanks!
My pleasure!
@@TopSpeedGolfthanks clay) often what is the reason for pulling shots cant wait to try it out
Great instruction. Thank you very much.
My pleasure!
Hi, I came across your video on how to grip the club properly some time ago and it helped my swing. But I went from a slice to a pull. Interesting enough when it went to the left (say 20 degrees), I was getting my best distance. I watched this video and realized I was leaning forward on my back-swing. So I tried your stable fluid spine method at the range today and wow, what a difference. First time hitting a ball this year and my best practice in a while. And I use your putting techniques too. Can't wait to try this on the course...Thanks.
Wow, thanks so much for the feedback! Keep up the hard work.
DUDE - I’m putting you in my will! 36 today - 3 bogeys, 3 back to back birdies - including a 7’ stiff from 165 par three over water. Hallelujah - back!
Nice work! Keep it up! 👍😃
It’s help my swing so much thanks clay
Glad to hear it!
excellent video Clay, i'm more mindful now with impact position. I've really enjoyed your topspeed system and your youtube content. I had a question regarding weight shift vs body tilt. How are we suppose to transfer the weight to the front while maintaining the spine tilt, seems like they contradict one another.
Had a bad slice for years. The last couple years I've been getting better contact, really started to pull some shots consistently this year.
Never tried to look up videos or get training.
I watched this yesterday, the tip with regards to position of the spine, I hit my shots straight at the range more consistently than I have in the past. My first 15-20 shots were really satisfying. Thank you.
Hi, thanks for sharing. Glad you hit it well. Keep up the good shooting! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Great vid!
Thanks Clay, iv been pulling the ball for a while and that’s just explained why 👍
No problem 👍
That makes sense I'll be trying this tommorow 👍
Best of luck!
That was helpful. I have been told to tilt away at address but I never though about maintaining that tilt through contact. Thank you.
Thanks Glenn!
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.
Good video ! I finally now know why I have the tendency to pull shots sometimes 🤦♂️👍🏽 Thank you
Happy to help!
Great and serious tips! Right on the money! By tilting spine away from target not only hit the ball straighter, but help get it more airborne that's exactly what we all needed. Something that is easily overwrite moments prior to taking the shot. I wasn't sure if it's the right move to do until you bring it up. Now l will try to ingrain it in hope to bring my score down and kick my buddies's butt from now on . Thanks a mil, Clay!
Hi, sounds like a good plan. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Very easy to follow as usual
Thanks!
terrific lesson
Thanks!
thanks for all the great advice
My pleasure!
you just fixed my issue! I was taking the "put 55% of your weight on your lead foot" advice without realizing this was making my spine angle lean forward too. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for this tip on why you pull irons. I have been having this problem for a while and knew that I had to not swing over the top. I now know not to lean forward which may also cause a pull. Appreciate all your tips.
Glad to help
This spine tilt has changed my golf game. Shot Par a few days ago and its because of the right body till allowed me to hit some great drives. Now this seems silly but I didn't really focus on right tilt for my irons and pulled/pushed some. I was still able to get up and down using the chipping and pitching techniques you have shown. Thanks again for you content.
Hi, thanks for sharing. Glad the video helped. Keep up the good shooting! Quentin | TSG Instructor
thanks your videos are great #1 teacher
You are welcome!
Another great video Clay thanks
Thanks Jody!
You saved me again Clay! I'm left handed and everything was going right. Came inside and searched 'pulled shots' and there it was. It's funny I knew but forgot about the spin tilt, but did'nt know that's what was making the ball go right. Anyway, all is straight now.
Great!
Thanks Clay. Great information I’m a new viewer. Be safe!
Welcome aboard!
THANK YOU!!!
You're welcome!
Great Video! Thank you 🔥👏💪🫶
Glad you liked it!
Thankyou Clay, as a hooker /puller of the ball, this is priceless, my weight was on my leading leg and leaning forward as you explained, will be trying this tomorrow for my lunch time practice, can't thankyou enough, cheers
My pleasure Ian. Best of luck!
Did you just describe my life when I finally have a good tee shot?
Haha :-)
Ditto
Story of my $@@@#$!@ life.
Great video Clay. Preach brother! I have struggled with this exact issue almost every round. Usually during tense shots, I forget that all shots are basically the same value in the end. It’s the misses that dictate the final score. You touched on the head in relation to the ball, one final thing I do when things revert to forward spine angle, I arrange my neck chin forward to target eye in the proper swing plane. When my head is right the rest follows more readily.
Thanks Bill and thanks for sharing. Sounds like you're on the right track. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Thanks Clay. On a side note, I remember a while back I watched one of your great videos that had a suggestion on how to take some pressure off the lower back without losing velocity. Can you share which video that was?
Clay, I've been playing and teaching golf for 20 years and this video is one of the best I've ever seen for people who pull to the left. I've tested this multiple times and this video is spot on. Spine angle isn't mentioned ever for this issue in other videos and your instruction ITS TRUE . Thanks Bro...
Glad to help
This is what I really needed
Glad to help : -)
I really like the tip to practice the two extreme misses first. I can't wait to try this on the range later today
Good luck!
@@TopSpeedGolf
I actually had a hard time hitting the big miss because I would subconsciously adjust my hips and hands in the downswing to make up for the weird back angle. But I did learn that I regularly swing with my head out in front of the ball.
Thanks for the video! I now have a good focus for future range sessions.
Excellent lesson. I suffer from a golf pull and will be implementing your instructions at my next range session. Thanks!
Thanks! Best of luck!
Thanks
My pleasure!
Brilliant
Thanks so much for this. I've been fighting a pull for years and you fixed it! One problem is that tilting to the right is causing me to occasionally hit fat behind the ball.
I would work on the the drills in this video: th-cam.com/video/H_bpaIptFcs/w-d-xo.html Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor
Clay, thank you. I have reduced my handicap from 18 to 10.2 in the last year with your help. I struggle with consistency and this video gave me one of the answers why. Question to clarify: shirt buttons just behind the ball for all clubs? Long irons (i.e. 2, 3, 4 iron shots) as well as driver?
Glad you like the video. Yeah, it will be pretty much for all clubs. You can be a little more on top of the ball with wedges. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Thank you! I practice wedge shots in my back yard and wonder why on some ‘infrequent’ evenings my shots feel soooo pure. Now I know!
Good stuff!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
You're welcome!
At last I can now cure my pull ! Thank you Clay !
My pleasure!
Clay thanks so much for an easy explanation for pulling the ball. You are so right my golf pro gets me to put weight on the left side at address To hit down now I won't be doing that.
My pleasure!
Thank you!!!!!! That is so Helpful 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁👍🙏
My pleasure!
The best channel on YT
Wow...thanks!
Legendary
Very interesting, thanks.
My pleasure!
Great simplified explanation. I played in a scramble Wednesday and hit almost every club left. I hit the balls solid and was pretty much pin high or left of target. Even my short pitches and chips. What ever I am doing, I do it consistently with every club. I do not tilt back way as you described. Can’t wait to try this. Hope it’s that simple. Thanks.
Great job! Glad it helped!
