Welcome to Clay Ballard's Top Speed Golf Instruction

“If you can’t stay in your posture…it actually has nothing to do with your posture and everything to do with your right elbow and your right wrist.”

This video will show you how to stay in your golf posture during your downswing. If you tend to stand up as you hit through the ball, it’s likely because of how you’re using your right arm and wrist. To fix this issue and hit the ball more solidly, this video provides you with several drills. You’ll learn:

• Why you naturally stand up to try to make solid contact
• How to get rid of the “right arm throw” so you can stay in your posture
• Drills to help you re-train your body
• How a low launch angle improves wedge accuracy, distance, and consistency

Think of your golf swing like casting a fishing line. To get maximum distance, you don’t throw the rod forward with brute force. You use a smooth motion, bending the rod to store energy and then releasing it at the right moment.  You achieve this with leverage, not muscle.  Similarly, a powerful golf swing isn’t about violently throwing your arms at the ball.  The real power comes from proper body rotation and a low launch angle, giving you effortless accuracy and distance, especially with wedge shots.
