I really like the fact you’re filming indoors and using the screen. It’s much easier to see and understand what you are doing and where the ball is going.
Thanks for the feedback. It'll be nice during the sweltering Florida summers to boot! 😀
This tip looks great. As an older golfer this is something I will try. Thank you.
You bet. Best of luck!
I’ve been trying to shorten my swing, after filming myself at a range session a few times, I’ve noticed i do a “John daily” and take the club head way too far back. Thanks for the tips!
My pleasure!
I wish TH-cam had a way to play in slow motion. The first 10 seconds and your DTL swing is so sweet. That brief pause at the top while your lower half is firing is something I’d love to study. Anyway, like always, really great lesson! Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
Man I love your way of making sure we understand what we need to do and 'feel'.
Glad you like it. Play well!
Always on point!! Can't wait for warmer weather, been itching to get back to it.
Thanks! Best of luck!
i have practiced golf for 1 month , and your channel helps alot, easy to understand, pls keep the channel up thanks alot
You know what Clay I wish I could come to America and thank you in person. Not for this video but just in general what I've learned from you
Thanks, Garth!
Great tips! Thanks.
I'd rather have accuracy and lose some distance than have great distance my ball is everywhere.
My pleasure!
Extremely helpful as always Clay! Thanks for sharing. Also noticeable about the 3.30 mark how it is not helpful -as poor amateurs like myself tend to do on occasion- to retain the same spinal angle of inclination from address to the top of the backswing as you open up the shoulders
Glad it was helpful!
Once again your tips are great. My question is foot work mainly my right foot. Should I roll to the inside or push off the toes. If you have a video of foot work please let me know.
Here are a couple of videos that go over footwork:

My best drives are shorter swings, recently started doing it and I ended up driving my ball longer with a 20mph headwind compared to overswining with a tail wind haha. Get a nice rhythm going and it's smooth sailing all day. Playing in a competition today so I hope I can get a good score, my dad wants me on his team because he thinks it's going to win him the beer at the end of the game, he can have mine too because I don't drink anymore haha.
Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the competition!
Great video Clay. Always well spoken and great instruction.
Thanks 👍
Right to what I am looking for. Can’t wait to try on Sat. I could be change my brand from 125 to 150 ^^ (LOL an amateur be called 125 by my husband)
Thanks from Thailand.
Best of luck and have fun!
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.
Reminds me of the book, “Swing Easy, Hit Hard” by Julius Boros published in the early-60’s.
In the book, Mr Boros describes how to get a long drive with an easier, effortless swing. Basically you have to pull down with your left hand (right handers) and bring your hands down to nearly level with your knee, while keeping your left hand facing down (flat left wrist) and your right hand facing up. If you do this with a light grip and an easy swing, the clubhead will release from about 4' away in the same time it takes your hands to move the next 6" or about 8 times as fast.
Thanks!
hey Clay I'm gonna give you a tip today on swing short:
Take the club at address and instead of practicing the backswing, practice a shorter follow through, or finish...now swing
Voila, a perfect short swing every time...great for chips and pitches and putts
I should be on that PING team...have them contact me
Thanks for sharing!
Broke 80 today! Thank you for the videos!
Nice work! Keep it up!
Great video as usual Clay !! Could you do a video where you talk about "hovering" the club above the ball before you swing! A lot of golfers do it but none more apparent than Bryson DeChambeau !! I presume this is a "release" mechanism prior to your swing!!1 In contrary to this video I make a longer swing prior to contact. doing this. I believe Adam Scott does this too!!!! Thank you, Ray STAY WELL!!
Thanks for the suggestion. We'll take it into advisement. Play well!
@@TopSpeedGolf - Thank you Clay and your lessons are excellent. I would think with your skillset you could make more competing on the PGA?? Did you at one time play on the Tour or you were more comfortable providing us with your excellent lessons?? Bu the way I don't like what Bryson DeChambeau has done with his equipment and should be illegal. He is very bright and very good but all equipment should have certain parameters!!
Power is paramount but skill should still be a component!! Wonder what Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer would think if they were alive today???
If only I didn't live in the north east so I can go play outside. Keep up the great content tsg crew and staff.
Appreciate it!
Your lessons make a lot of sense to me. Thanks.
Awesome video. My whole body started to hurt just by watching. 😆
Haha! 😀 Vicarious pain! 😀
Great video for us short swingers
My iron swing has always been like this. Just more comfortable for me. I take a more full swing with the driver. Might be why I'm more consistent with my irons...
Thanks for sharing! Play well!
Another thing that tends to happen when you don't engage the hips is that you pull it, which is exactly what happened when you demonstrated that "what not to do".
Thanks! Play well!
LOL, "so you're not looking like 'Gumby' out there." One of my golf buddies told me a I had a John Daly swing, you mentioning him reminded me to google him and yep, I have a damn John Daly swing, not as extreme, but close, lol! Thanks for you tips, you hit the nail on the head with an issue I had!
Glad you found it helpful. Play well!
Great video, I've always found when I try to swing more controlled on my approach. I would get much slower and stiff. No free flow.. though on a full swing my trigger is the arms reaching the peak height (and the wrists slightly bending, e.i. Berger,and dj) but I don't particularly have a good trigger sensation for the shorter swing... Any thoughts? Suggestions?
I'd just work on it. Try filming yourself trying to hit particular points of the backswing and see how close you are in reality. What you think you're doing and what you're actually doing can be two totally different things. Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor
Clay what are you referring to at the end of the video ‘ here’s the truth there’s one thing if you don’t do this correctly nothing is going to work?’ So which part of the Top Speed Golf system covers ‘the thing.’
The Power Turn section of the TSG system. Play well!
Great explanation!
Thanks!
That’s for me! Thanks!
My pleasure!
Good tips, short swing makes more consistent
Thanks!
awesome tips, thanks, it works
My pleasure!
Kinda related to the video. Is that the GCQUAD? How’s the GC3 compare for accuracy? Thanks
Thanks coach
My pleasure!
A question for you Clay.
I don't have access to a grass driving range. At the moment I'm hitting the ball fairly well off the astro turf but I've noticed the good players are making a thud noise as they hit the ball from the astro turf with their irons.
Should I be doing that too?
Artificial turf doesn't always provide the best feedback, unless you strike the ball way behind or way in front of the ball. While practicing off of this type of surface, I'd use impact tape or foot spray powder and work on where I'm striking the ball off of the face. I'd also work on hitting controlled draws and fades at command. Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor
@@TopSpeedGolf Thanks Nate
My pleasure!
Great video and applies to me. I get part way back and my right foot and right leg starts forward before I finish my backswing and I get completely out of sync. Any suggestions?
I'd work on correct weight shift. You may find this video helpful: th-cam.com/video/b-l_4-pzRFI/w-d-xo.html Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor
The feeling of pulling down on the club as you near the top of your backswing as well is a lot of where the power comes from. The lower body is starting the transition as your arms are about 95% in the backswing.
Thanks for sharing!
Great stuff Clay!!!
My pleasure!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thanks Clay, nice tutorial. Incidentally, I noticed your lead heel lifts off the ground. Do you think this helps create a fuller turn?
Yes, lifting the lead foot a little bit helps to free the hips for more turn. It also promotes the weight shift back to lead side once it goes back down. Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor
Great tip as always. Love the pay site as well, has really helped my golf!
Great to hear! Keep up the good work!
Really great 👍
Thanks!
My old coach used to say..."I've never lengthened a swing but I've shortened plenty."
Thanks for sharing!
Everything you say is correct however, I have watched your videos dozens of times and I have realized it’s just not possible to learn the golf swing from watching videos. Watching a video tells me what you do, it does not tell me what I do wrong and what I need to fix. So after spending too much time watching your videos I am going to take in person lessons. I wish I could take lessons from you but I can’t. I’ve tried taking video lessons and that is a terrible experience. The feedback loop is ridiculously slow and taking videos and uploading them is far too much work for a golf lesson.
Thanks for sharing! Best of luck!
Try Clay's top speed golf program. It's around $50 and well worth it. A lot of drills. I'm only in week 2. While I dont have a radar, I have to be swinging at least 10 mph with my driver already and much more solid. Irons are crisp and I went from a weak flip and sliding to a much more powerful, and less painful due to the spine angle drills, swing. Its cheaper and I'd argue better than in person lessons because you can keep going back and watching/practicing.
Awesome
Thanks!
Congratulations on the Ping sponsorship
Thanks!
Watch Jon Rahm or Tommy Armour III or Allen Doyle swings.
Thanks for sharing! Play well!
Do you understand pressure and weight.? You talk loading a lot- what are you loading?
Where is the rest of the vidoe matee
Not sure what you're missing. Sorry.
What voodoo is this? Are you reading my mind!?!?
Haha! 😂 Glad you found this helpful. Play well!
@@TopSpeedGolf played yesterday. Wasn't hitting em great. On a short par 3, I shortened up my swing and pured the best 9iron of my life. Actually carried the green and hit the bank behind. was super sweet!
Happy to hear that. Keep up the good work!
I don’t think you’re loading as much on your real swing as you teach-
Too much movement
This is subjective bullshit. You can do it, but I swing long and hit 300.
Why do you say its bullshit?
You LIE !!!
Watch out Bryson !
Kyle's right behind you!
I do shaft and club fitting. About 3% of the guys who claim to hit it 300 yards actually do. The rest are nowhere near it.
