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...

BH004. How to Stop Getting Stuck

In this video, you’ll learn how to stop getting stuck in your golf swing.

Do you occasionally block or snap hook the ball?

You’re not alone. I think it’s happened to all of us at some point.

Here’s what might be happening…

The club may be getting stuck behind your body in the downswing causing it to swing too much in to out.

The result: if the club face is open then you’ll block the shot. Or if the face is closed, you could easily hit a nasty snap hook. 

Now, I was always taught to keep the club in front of the body to stop getting stuck. 

That’s not horrible advice, but there’s more to it than that if you want the club to come in on the correct path.

In this video, I’ll show you exactly what’s going on when your club gets stuck…

And you’ll learn an easy 2 piece move to help you fix it.

Practice this move and you’ll have no issue getting the club more on plane.

Watch now to stop getting stuck and to start hitting accurate and compressed shots!
