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...

D078. Do You Swing with Your Left Hand or Right Hand?

And I have a question for you? “Do You Swing with Your Left Hand or Right Hand“? 

If you’re like most players, your right hand tends to take over like a ruthless golf swing dictator! 

That dang hand just won’t stop flipping, casting, pushing, and jerking.

It’s extremely frustrating.

But when you try to use the left hand you feel weak.

So what exactly are you supposed to do?

In this video you’ll discover precisely when and how to use the right hand so you can feel strong and powerful in your swing.
(without the flipping, casting, pushing, or jerking)

And you’ll discover exactly how and when to use your left hand (which isn’t as strong) to get tons of speed, without tons of muscle.

Teaser:  It has to do with the left shoulder.

Don’t miss this video, or your hands may continue fighting each other forever.

S016. Avoid These 3 Common Set up Faults with the Driver

Today I’ll teach you to “Avoid These 3 Common Set up Faults with the Driver”

Wouldn’t you love to hit the ball further off the tee than you currently do.

The stats show that consistently hitting the ball further is the quickest way to lowering your scores.

When you’re closer to the greens on your approach shot, or hitting less club into the green, the results are better.

There are three mistakes that I commonly see being made when you set up to hit your tee shot.

Today I’m going to show you what these mistakes are and teach you how to avoid setting yourself up for failure before you even pull the club back.

And I’m bringing an axe today, so you don’t want to miss this.

HI006. How Practice Swings Could Hurt Your Game

Today I’ll explain “How Practice Swings Could Hurt Your Game”

I know you’ve seen the top pros doing them before their shots.

They always seem to be focused on one particular move that they want to make sure gets incorporated into their next swing.

But there’s one key thing that they all do.

Without it, the practice swings don’t really do any good…and could even be detrimental to your game.

You see, we all have our own “swing signature” with a particular tempo, rhythm and sequencing.

This is whether we are taking a full swing or just practicing our swing before our shot.

In today’s video, I’m going to show you what the key is that you need to make sure you do during your practice swing.

And I’m going to give you 4 key elements that need to happen on every swing…especially when you’re practicing.

And finally, I’m going to make sure you know NOT to do one thing in particular when your practice.

Today you learn “How to Hit a Driver STRAIGHT Every Time”

Does this sound familiar to you?

You get on the course and start hitting some wayward drives.

You’ve lost some confidence in your swing, so you start swinging a little shorter and try to guide that ball down the fairway.

Now you’re still hitting the ball all over the place, it’s just not going as far now.

When things go bad on the course, it’s so difficult to have trust in your swing.

In today’s video, I’m going to give you drills that will help you start hitting consistently straight drives.

These drills are proven to not only help you learn at a faster rate, but they’re the most effective way to give you the proper feel for how to hit the ball straight.
