You are the best teacher!!!
Wow, thank you!
You're a great teacher Clay.....calm, clear and precise. So many poor golf instruction vids out there. Keep up the good work and thank you!
Thanks!
I have probably said this to you a dozen times but this is really your best video yet. I'm literal minded so I need precise instruction. When you said, "the swing is 30 degrees out to the right. It’s the opening of the body that makes it square." a light bulb went off in my head. Thanks again. By the way, I was 2 over today. Some of that improvement is due your you.
My pleasure!
Excellent technique. Many thanks. You should talk about grip pressure.
Thanks! Search our channel. We have at least one video on grip pressure. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
You have the best video of all
Thanks!
Blimey Clay - I can't believe I've spent 10 years trying to work out why I can't swing in-to-out and didn't think about your point at 4.09 - talk about an eye-opener. Thank you Clay!
My pleasure!
I am saving this video to watch again and again.
My new swing thought: "Low trap draw + half swing" 😀
Thanks Jeff!
Ditto
Very organized, clear and concise! Well done Clay⛳️🏌🏾 Oh, and I like that I can now determine when the vid was produced. The Titleist , Ping and the beard era😜
Thanks 😂
A very timely tip on compressing the ball. That is my #1 problem from the fairway. Majority of my hits are the thin shots you demonstrated while occasionally over correcting and then hitting the ball fat.
Hope it helped!
Good revision without putting too many thoughts in the swing. I like the analogy with the frisby, particularly in the phase of the swing when you compress the ball.
Thanks Henry!
I just started playing golf about 3 or 4 months ago. Never played before hand. (With baseball I was never allowed). Now at 30, and wanting to just do something, i broke down and tried it. Even though 13 years ago since ive played baseball, the muscle memory and everything tend to blend. No wonder they told me to never mix the two at a young age. I dont have a lot of time to practice and only played 3 times on the field outside of hitting the range for a hour or two. Your videos are amazing and help me so much into transitioning baseball to golf. I study these videos and try out everything on the range to just get the movement, hips, arms, wrist and hand placements. Keep up the amazing videos and i always look forward to the notifications coming in about a new video. Even if its out of my league, i still watch to try and install it in my swings. #bestcoach
Thanks for sharing. Keep up the hard work!
My game is really improving thanks to your lessons, Thank you so much
Keep it up
Was blessed yesterday to be able to go out in the wet winter conditions, used your tips for the take away and other drills and was crushing the ball!
Hi Luke, thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work!
Brilliant as always Clay.
Thanks!
As always. Good work clay
Thanks!
Great video Clay, and I agree with you about those 3 shots, especially the putt.
Thanks!
I didn’t know what I was doing wrong, but I am glad you knew what I was doing wrong. 👍
👍👍
Your a legend clay - really helping me improve my game 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Excellent instruction and great tips here.
Thanks Andy!
Great,great video. Ever since I have used the trap draw in my swing, it's made a world of difference in my consistency
Thanks Douglas!
Clay, absolutely GREAT instruction video. Thank you!!
Thanks!
Thanks for another great video! It enlightens me for the right way of swing.
My pleasure!
Another great video Clay.🏌️♂️
Thanks!
Great tips Clay. Feels great trying it at home. I can’t wait to hit some balls at the range using this methods.
Thanks!
Clay do you have any birds eye view videos of the swing. Would be good especially in the club release stuff. Cheers from England .....
No, but we'll take that into advisement. Play well!
great video, thanks clay
My pleasure!
Brilliant putting advice! Im going to work on those four steps a lot.
Thanks!
Thanks Clay for all the great content this year!. This is another awesome video! I've been following you for awhile and if I had to rank all the UA-cam golf instruction, you would be #1 no question! Happy New Year!
Thanks Keith! Happy New Year!
Thanks for all the swing lessons this year Clay and Happy New Year. I tried the full shoulder turn the other day and seen instant big gains in yards, just gotta work on it some more cause sometimes I was hitting way behind the ball lol
My pleasure!
Great tips! The tip you gave me about backing my trail foot and allowing my lead foot to come up when I strike the ball helped alot! Also found that doing that with a super strong grip has helped me get better foward shaft lean and a cleaner strike. Thank you for all the great work and tips you have been doing. #1 instructor!
That's great Emmett! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good shooting! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Great vid Clay. Love your content.
Thanks Stewart!
@@TopSpeedGolf . Hi Clay, Love your vids. I play off 10 and Im really struggling with my chipping. I know my technique is pretty good but I think I struggle under pressure and hit fat or thin 20% of time. Are you able to give advice on this. I think its the yips or maybe I need to get a propper wedge custom fit. The ground here in the uk is so soft in our winters !! Very difficult to use the bounce !
Got a set of Callaway's CF16 APEX getting ready for the new season Clay good vid need to work on my specialty shots around the greens and Happy New Year !
Thanks!
Very good tip
Thanks!
Hey Clay, great video, one of the better ones for sure. The 'Pressure Beater' segment was great, and was wondering if you elaborate on that a bit more. My thought was perhaps you could create a video where you dissect either Finau or Rahm's, or both, since (correct me if I'm wrong) take shorter backswings than most players, albeit generate huge power. I try my best to play the short backswing, and I generate loads of power with driver (300 avg), but struggle with my iron distance, and am consistently coming short in my approach shots due to me playing the yardage I believe I should be hitting in my head.
Hi Ryan, thanks for the comment. We'll keep that in mind. Finau and Rahm could both hit it further if they took longer swings. In face, Finau posted a video a while back where he took a longer swing and swung 136 mph. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Awesomeness as usual
Also looking swole Clay 💪
Big size difference since last year
Good job 👍
Thanks!
Perfect.
Thanks!
Who are the 7 thumbs downers who said, "Lets F with Clay and thumbs down his azz even though we know in our hearts he's a Golfin G and he kicks us down for FREE, with some of the best golf teachings on the Tube." Remember back in the Day when Eric B and Rakim said there were 7 sucka MC's? If y'all ever wanted to know what they've been up to, it appears they've been thumbs downing awesome Golf teachings on the tube...Hatin is a disease, like AIDS. 😂
Haha...thanks Mike!
@@TopSpeedGolf ... Question if I may CB....Do you have a Top Speed Team Guy/Gal in the Salt Lake area? If not, are you able to recommend someone you respect giving lessons in the Salt Lake area? It would be a big help...There are so many out here giving lessons and there's no way in hell all of them are bad ass Top Speed types. If you're able to help that would be super clutch. Thanks.
The bow your left wrist move, does that works for driver and other clubs?
One of my big problems is hitting flat footed and I always hit it short , will definitely will try the half back swing .
Hope it helps!
As a 6'6" golfer, I use the the pressure style 1/2 swing on all my full shots...I stay connected and maintain better balance...works for me
Hi Walter, you can definitely be consistent doing that but it's difficult to get distance when you don't let the arms disconnect and elevate at the top. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Pretty daggon good..not gonna make many 10 foot putts, proceeds to make every single putt..that is pretty daggon good
Thanks!
Turning the back of the left wrist towards the ground and letting it supinate the way you showed really is one of the biggest game changers in my experience with your irons. I dont have a lot of success with that with the driver though. Almost have to intentionally not de loft it nearly as much because the driver already doesnt have as much loft, even when I try to stay behind the ball. Any thoughts on that wrist movement with the driver? Does that still work for you Clay?
Hi Andrew, yeah, it's the same really. The only difference is that you hit up on the ball. It's hard to say exactly what you're issue might be without seeing your swing. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
if you use the low trap draw, what's difference in distance compared to a full swing?
Hi Richard, it just depends on the player. I would recommend trying it out and seeing what difference it makes in your game. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Wondering if you can help me with a slicer's problem:
I have a naturally steep angle of attack in my swing. When I try to shallow out the club, my wrists can no longer turn over in time, leaving the face wide open at impact. When I fix my wrist to ensure I'm turning the club over, my swing natural becomes more steep, causing right to left path with a square face, causing the ball to slice. I bow my wrists like crazy, but I'm pretty sure based on videos of my swing that my shoulders come forward as I open up my hips WAY too early, causing a right to left path (righty swing). How do I fix this issue?
Hi Tristan, I would checkout our new slice fix video on our channel. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Something else I would like to ask. Is it possible to put out a video that shows how to play shots from uneven lies? Uphill, downhill, or sidehill. The last one is the shot I really struggle with. Conventional wisdom says balls above your feet on sidehill lies will go left while balls below your feet will have the tendency to go right. But for me they do just the opposite. At my local club we have a hole that almost always gives me a lie where the ball is severely below my feet by almost a foot and when I allow for the ball to go to the right by aiming more left of the green, 9 times out of 10 I will get the double cross with the ball going either right where I aimed or even more left. I am RHed. Thanks
Hi Tim, we have videos for these available to members to our website. Here is the link to see the video available: topspeedgolf.com/vault-cat/special-shots-vault/. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
@@TopSpeedGolf Thanks for the links.
This man speaks knowledge. Listen up :)
Thanks!
How can there be any thumbs down on these videos. Great swing thoughts!! Thank you
My pleasure!
they are from other online instructors :)
I'm comfortable with the trap draw feeling with wedges into my mid irons, but not so much with long irons. With the ball further up in my stance it's harder for me to feel comfortable coming shallow from the inside and making proper contact with the ball and ground...any advice for this?
Don't move the ball up in your stance.
When I am having a bad round/week, I switch to #2 for all shots. When I am testing clubs, I use half-swings. If I played for money, it would be with half-swings. Why don't I stick with half swings (like Tony Finau)...I am a golfer :-)
Hi Mike, it's tough to get much distance with a half swing. Tony Finau has really good sequencing and build. He actually released a video on his Instagram where he swung longer and had 136 mph club head speed. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
@@TopSpeedGolf It allows me to use my hips and legs more aggressively and still make clean contact so I lose maybe 1/2 a club in iron distance and 10-20 yards on my driver. Imho: its a simpler more repeatable move.
Man you've bulked up! look at those guns!
Haha...thanks
Clay, I don't doubt your recommendation for forward shaft lean at impact. But your argument sounds like it is more about compression & distance than it is about avoiding the deadly fat & thin problem pair. Heck, instead of leaning forward the shaft of my 8 iron, perhaps I could use a 6 iron and wrist the club shaft into perpendicular (to the ground) at impact: you disagree and probably for good reasons, but this video is too vague on what those reasons are. Fat & thin are killing my game, not distance issues. Thanks.
Hi Ed, the fats and thins are most likely because you release the club early so not getting forward shaft lean. When you release the club early, the club comes in very level with the turf. You can't really hit it very solid unless the ball is sitting up on the grass like it's on a tee leading to thin shots when you don't hit the turf and fat shots when you do. Check out our channel. Clay and I recently released a video about why forward shaft lean is necessary. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Hi clay. Thanks for the tips. One thing I struggle with is changing from iron swing to driver swing. Going from hitting down to hitting up, I feel like I have to flip my wrists to hit the driver on the up, when I get in a good rhythm of this I then start flipping with the iron's. I can never have it both ways it's compressing nicely with an iron and my best rounds are without a driver. Do you have advice for being able to do both methods on the same day.
Hi, the swing between and iron and driver really isn't much different. The only difference is that you hit the ground with shots off the turf and you don't with the driver. You don't want to flip with the driver to hit up on it. This will add loft and spin which is bad for distance. Make the same swing but miss the ground and let the club work up into the ball. The ball placement will be further up in your stance with the ball teed up. Best of luck! Quentin | TSG Instructor
@@TopSpeedGolf thanks so much for the reply Quentin, I will give this a some practice like you have explained
Putting and putters -Evnroll,Titleist Scotty Cameron,PING sigma G,Odyssey ? Decisions decisions !
There are a lot of great options! Best of luck! Quentin | TSG Instructor
It's all in the hips Chubbs 😂😂
😂
My hands Capp came down fast when I learned how to chip and score ??? especially chip ????
Hi, thanks for the comment. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
But I tend to hit the ground way before the ball if I do this tip
Hi, it sounds like you're not getting a good weight shift. Make sure you are getting to your lead side on the downswing. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Why not to use both hand?
CLAY:TEACH LIFTING YOUR LEFT HEEL OF THE GROUND, WATCH JACK NICHOLES YOU WILL GAIN 6-8" MORE IN SHOULDER TURN , NO MORE BACK PAIN BY KEEPING LEFT FOOT ON GROUND
Hi Frank, we actually do teach that. Thanks for the comment. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
