The Only 5 Golf Swing Pieces That Really Matter
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...
"I've played professional golf for many years, and I've had instruction from some of the best teachers in the world. For the first time in my career, I understand the golf swing with clarity thanks to Clay Ballard and his Top Speed Golf website.
Clay's Top Speed Golf System is a well-planned, step-by-step system that will help any level golfer improve their game. Clay's knowledge of the biomechanics of the golf swing is exceptional!
After a 12-year absence from the game, I used Clay's Top Speed Golf System and videos to prepare for competitive senior golf. I'm happy to share with you that I recently shot a 59 at Breckenridge Park golf club in San Antonio, TX, and I finished tied for 11th at the 2016 European Senior Qualifying school in Portugal.
Thank you, Clay, for sharing your knowledge and time with me!!"

You might have heard me refer to the “Anti-Roll Method” at some point.
It might seem like it clashes with some of the instruction in this course.
Well, I’ll explain what the “Anti-Roll Method” is, and why it still matters…
…and how it can help ensure a square face at impact, promoting draws without the negatives of excessive forearm rotation.
For today’s indoor drill, we’re going to be joined by former professional golfer Casey Vancil.
If you want to see what it’s like for another golfer to take my instruction in these drills, this is your chance.
I’ll walk Casey through the drills and get his input on how he feels throughout the process.
We’ll also be working with multiple clubs, so you can see how this works when you’re out on the course and not just using the same club over and over on the range.
And hopefully, if you’re encountering any issues working through these drills, you’ll gain some insight into how to work on them.
One of the questions I always get is, “What should I feel inside my body when doing what we’re talking about in this course?”
Imagine stepping into a pro golfer’s shoes, feeling every sensation they experience.
Well, you can do that…
In this mindset video, I’ll explain how.
This might seem a little out there, but trust me, you’ve got to see this one!
While it might seem like it makes sense to make the largest possible backswing…
…I’ll explain why “overstretching” during the backswing can limit your ability to separate hip and shoulder movements.
This approach helps to preserve the “stretch-shortening cycle” of the muscles, optimizing power and efficiency.
And you’ve made it all the way to the final week!
To start, let’s work on our sequencing.
We’ll go over the “Shift Then Set Drill” today.
This is designed to coordinate weight shifts and club movements.
This also helps simulate real game conditions by using a variety of clubs.
In this outdoor drill, I’ll show you how to get dollar-bill-sized divots that are perfectly shaped and positioned.
If you’ve only ever made those “strip of bacon” divots or something going off to the side…
…make sure you watch this video!
It might seem like you’ve got an issue with the face being open when you’re making a misshaped divot…
…it might be a posture issue.
I’ll explain why today.
Now it’s time to see “if the rubber is meeting the road.”
Remember that test we had in the first week? We’ll revisit the results from that…
…and see how far you’ve come through the first three weeks.
The good news? If you’re still struggling a bit…
…you can always revisit those drills you were having trouble with, and then come back to this when you’re ready!
And today, it’s all about ball position.
It can be a confusing thing, but I’ll break it down for you.
We’ll go over the big clubs to the mid irons all the way down to the wedges.
You’ve probably heard of the “Chair Drill” before…
…heck, we recommend it a lot here at Top Speed Golf.
But I’ve found a better way to do it than what most people are teaching.
Make sure you check this out. It’ll help eliminate that reverse pivot, improving shot quality and consistency.
I call this one the “don’t beat yourself up” video.
Let’s say you’re doing great with the drills, then on the course, everything goes south…
…usually, it’s because of poor course conditions.
Don’t beat yourself up if you’ve had a bad round because of it.
The best pros will have around a 17-stroke difference between their lowest round and their worst round every season. The same applies to recreational golfers.
