Top Speed Golf

The Only 5 Golf Swing Pieces That Really Matter

Navigation

Welcome to Clay Ballard's Top Speed Golf Instruction

I founded Top Speed Golf in 2015.

Here's what it's all about...

When you analyze the swings of any top player in the world -- whether it's Jim Furyk, Adam Scott, or anyone else -- there are 5 aspects they all have roughly in common:

1. Stable & Fluid Spine

2. Power Turn

3. Top Speed Lag

4. Compression Line

5. Straight-Line Release

I've found that these 5 pieces will give you 95% of your results.

My Top Speed Golf system teaches you those 5 aspects in a step-by-step, course-based fashion.

"Does it work?" you may be wondering...

G120. How to Hold a Golf Club Correctly

Today, you’ll discover “How to Hold a Golf Club Correctly”

Did you know that issues you’re having with your swing could be helped by something as simple as the way you grip the club?

Changing the angle of your hand as you grip the club is the key to having a “short thumb” grip…

Plus, it can help you get the wrist hinge you need to create more lag in your downswing.

G118. How to Get Through the Golf Ball | Stop Hanging Back

Today, you’ll discover “How to Get Through the Golf Ball | Stop Hanging Back”

I’m guessing you already know that you shouldn’t fall back as you hit the ball…

…but if that’s what you’re used to doing, it’s not always easy to just snap your fingers and stop doing it.

You see, when you fall back in your downswing, it changes where your swing’s low point is…

…and leads to a lot of heavy and thin shots.

But, if you can get your weight to your left side in the downswing, you’ll have a more consistent low point…

…and your consistency will skyrocket!

In today’s video, you’ll get a great drill for getting out of your bad habit of falling back…

…and you’ll see how your right hip and your left leg can both be keys to finally start making consistent ball contact.

 

C084. The Shallowing Debate | Should You Shallow the Golf Club?

Today, you’ll discover “The Shallowing Debate | Should You Shallow the Golf Club?”

Whether you know it or not, you’re shallowing the club at some point in your downswing.

But when I say that you need to shallow the club…

…I’m really talking about “when” you need to shallow the club for the most consistent results possible.

A very common issue is that most wait and shallow the club late in the downswing…

…and then have to make compensations to get the club delivered to the golf ball.

This generates a lot of wild inconsistencies (like blocks and pulls).

By shallowing the club early in your downswing, it allows for a LOT of good things to happen.

In today’s video, you’ll discover what these good things are and how shallowing early allows them to happen…

…and I’ll show you my “Bucket Drill” that will help with the proper arm rotation to get you shallowed early in your downswing.

Once you try it out, I’m guessing you’ll be hitting with more power AND more consistency.
