Your lessons are so clear. Enough explanation, but also not too much---more feel too. Luv 'em.
just applied for arp can finally watch this video!
Clay your videos are brilliant great instruction very easy to understand
Thank you
Tony
Clay…..I like your videos the way you explain the drills is real clear…I’m going to try this next time I’m at the range…thanks
Easiest instructor to listen to ..thx again.
My pleasure!
Agree with all these (positive) statements. I'm 70 and Clay revolutionized my drive with the tips on grip, arm extension, and (of course) the Pirate Ship!
Thanks, appreciate it!
Generally, good instruction, but everyone, everyone is different, and swings differently. The BEST thing most people should do, is practice a lot !! By practicing the Fundamentals, and muscle memory, this is the best for any golfer. Watching videos may help a golfer about 15%. 85% of great golf comes from hitting tons and tons of balls....there are no shortcuts. ⛳ golf is the greatest of all sports !!!
You're a good man. Love your videos. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thanks, you too!
Most seniors are not flexible enough to transfer weight from right to left with this swing, i say start with majority of weight on left side and let natural swing carry you through hitting area and finish well on left side, super simple. Try it and you will agree.
Great lesson Clay your lessons always well explained. Thank you!🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it. Play well!
I wouldn't take a lesson from this guy.
Clay, a big Thank You! I just went out and hit a couple of drives in my backyard. I have never been able to Draw a driver. It also felt like I had a more solid ball strike. I am 67 and have been a chronic slicer all my life. I can't wait to get to the range and really test this.
Will this work with my long irons or just the driver? Thanks and keep up the great videos...
I just turned 62 and have always played two knuckles since my high school days. I will try the three knuckles approach on the practice tee next time. I had laid off golf the past couple of years, so I am committed to playing more this year. I used to be a12 handicap but I am probably not that right now. Thank you for the video.
My pleasure! Play well!
I suggest if you want to get your swing back you should practice hitting wedge shots. This will bring back your timing. Practice hitting wedge shots for about week then go to your 7 seven iron, then your 5 iron and so on. You need your timing with your irons more than your drive. When you hit your driver you will see that you have your timing back. Practice the fundamentals first. 1. Your grip, 2. your setup, 3 your stance and posture, ball position in your stance. Use a mirror to practice. Once you have your irons down pat the rest of your swing will fall into place.
@@TopSpeedGolf Can i do this with a fairwaywood?:-)
It's been a year. How did this work out for you?
I need the strong front grip, will change the back grip too. I noticed you had the ball more towards middle so will experiment with ball position too.
Thanks from Oz..
The camera angle makes it look more in the middle. I would recommend playing it off your lead shoulder. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
I was on a road trip and was struggling with topping and pushing the ball right. I watched your lesson, took a couple of notes, and bingo. Problem solved. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Awesome! Glad to hear it.
Hi Clay. Where do you aim the club face, at the target or directly as you line up at the ball??
Thanks for the lesson Clay.
Clay - thanks for this - maps to my Top Speed Program and adjustments my PT is making to preserve my back! Question - in your set up in appears that you are setting the driver further back in your stance - is that intentional or am I just seeing things?
Clay thanks! Tried it picked up 20 yards easy with a draw 58 now have not felt solid strikes on ball like this in long time
Hi Clay - am back, I have been lost in the maze of golf instruction video's, the latest being Moe Norman, which was a great experience, but I could not get the swing to work for me consistently, so I ended back to what you have been teaching us out here! I clicked onto your blog as this video was for seniors, am sorry but I am 70 years old and I cant keep my left arm straight far back as you were showing us in this video! Old age when playing golf makes one look back to when they were younger, when only using a 5 iron at a par 3, now taking a 3 wood, I am sure many seniors out here will know what am on about! We need tuition of a swing that will be easy to constantly use throughout our round of golf, our joints are not the same as they were, so Lets see more video's for Seniors, after all there are more of us than all those teenagers! Thanks Clay!
Thanks for the suggestion! We'll work on that.
Nice teach..👍👍👍
Thank you! 😃
Awesome lessons!!! Thank you!!! I can now give my buddies a run for the money. On a side note. What brand and mode is your hat? Been looking for something just like that but can’t find one. I would appreciate it, because that sun is just killing me.
Hi Clay, loved your tennis videos; equally loving your golf videos. Are you still doing tennis?
I tried this three knuckles tip today and I have to admit that I drove more consistently. I wonder whether I can use this stronger grip for fairway woods and iron clubs as well … anyway, thank you!
Clay, This worked fantastic for me. Very impressive analysis. I am hitting them consistently straighter with a slight draw.
Excellent! Keep up the good work!
Excellent! Merci pour les conseils toujours tres avisés. bravo.
Thanks! My pleasure!
Clay what happens if you align your feet 15 degrees to the opposite of alignment rod
Can't hurt to learn better swings
Hello,. Does the club face aim to the right also or the face down the target line? Thanks so much
Down the target line. Play well!
Awesome tips Clay 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks 👍
What is a senior with arthritis in both elbows to do to hit straight balls when the elbows can't be straightened.
Azinger and Couples also use strong grips.
Do you try to turn your hips on your backswing or do they just turn from swiging your arms
Hey clay when does your wrist turn over before you contact the ball or after you contact the ball thank you
After, but they need to be in the correct position at impact. Here is a video that should help: ua-cam.com/video/URTIrVQOJJE/v-deo.html Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor
@@TopSpeedGolf if you didn't before or at the ball you would probably hit a duck hook I'm assuming would that be right. Thank you.!!!
I like it. The only issue for me is the change away from a neutral grip. It's super hard.
I tried the stronger grip but it has aggravated my golfer's elbow to a great degree. Will have to find other methods to hit a draw.
Sorry to hear that. Best of luck!
The biggest difficulty with this set up is it limits your ability to swing through the ball --- Even though my back swing is somewhat impacted I get more distance with an open stance and being able to clear my hips for a more powerful swing more so than I do with a closed stance --- If you're inflexible you're most likely so in both directions --- Any thoughts?
I think you are right don't fix a problem that does not exist. The problem with many instructional videos on line, they assume a common flaw and base the lesson on that. They know nothing about your current swing. I still think you can learn from them but players should be selective before talking advise to the drivning range and course
Good
Thanks
I like your videos, Clay, and you are a skilled instructor with a monster swing... but anybody who has played the game with any commitment knows there are no 'tricks" to a sound golf swing. Trying to convince amateurs that there is a "trick" to every flaw" is the flaw. There is no way to construct a golf swing by trying to replicate a collection of tricks... A golf swing is a sequence and a continuum of movements not a series of discrete actions. Instruction based on fundamentals is the way to help your students and viewers to progress ... and yes, I get that selling "tricks" for clicks is a UA-cam business model... hope to see more videos from you focusing on swing fundamentals. I'll tune in for those. Keep well.

Watched that pirate ship drill but my wrists do not allow a narrow angle with the shaft. Only if I let go my pinky but that doesn't seem right.
Is this video good for irons too?
What did this video have to do with seniors?
Not many seniors I know can take that big wide swing,
Right elbow to your belly also tilts you?
Two separate things. One is the Stable Fluid Spine and the other is 'The Move'. We cover both of these aspects of the swing plus a lot more on the site for our All Access Members.

What’s you club head speed? I’m old. I swing at 80 mph.
Hi Clay. Been following you for some time now. I love your hat! Where can I get one??
Search Nike Sun Bucket Hat and you can find it a lot of places. Play well!
great videos, but where can i find that HAT!!!
Titleist tour aussie hat
Ben Hogan 3 knuckle grip
Great info. I tried it. I watched the videos several times. And I still can’t execute what you are explaining. In fact I lost 5 balls on the first nine holes and “maxed out” on 4 of the holes. I am just resigned that this game will remain a mystery to me.
Ah...., the secret to keeping your head down: wearing a big heavy hat. Bravo. :)
Tryed 3 snap
I find that 'hovering' my driver at address promotes a draw - is that because it lowers (however slightly) the swing plane?
It doesn't necessarily promote a draw but for you, it may make you want to swing more from the inside. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Clay, does this apply to irons as well? Steve
Yes, Sir!
Is the face of the club square to the the target or down your setup line? I've heard it both ways.
I have the same question ⁉️
Hey Howard, you can set it up toward the target line. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
What seniors have that range of movement in their swing???
Same thing with irons?
Me trying Clay’s tips
1. Aim right
2. Strong Grip
3. QUACK!
Haha...you're just overdoing it. I would weaken the grip a little. You may also be hitting it on the toe. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Swing in to out and roll those hands and daffy the duck hook is gonna show up.
I would certainly question the grip ,, absolutely deadly for anyone who is struggling with hooking the ball off the tee.
Spyglass Hill in Monterey CA is all about pirates.
Thanks for sharing!
I really like Clay's teaching style BUT check out Jim Venetos swing for an even easier, more simple swing that produces a nice long draw. Much simpler than the traditional swing Clay teaches. We are not "top pros" and Jim realizes that and teaches a swing that we amateurs can use for almost immediate improvement. Incidentally, I am a paying customer of Topspeed Golf but the traditional swing was just to complicated with too many moving parts to get the perfect timing, tempo, etc.
Thanks for sharing!
very similar, but Clay much easier to listen to.

Could you explain the same using a 7 iron?
It's the same thing. You just play the ball more toward the middle of your stance. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

Watch Now - ua-cam.com/video/M2AVTRqwgcA/v-deo.html
No doubt this will work but I'm going to fight a smothered hook with that strong grip. Will give it a try tho.
Hey Mary, you can weaken the grip. If you don't hit a weak fade currently then you may not need to.
It would be much better if used the terms " lead" and "trail" instead of left and right.
We hear you. Play well!
Putting
Sure way to top it and incurca nasty hook. Relax the grip and let the right arm do the work - just hit it gently through the ball and towards the target. Jack Nickaus says aim left and open the face for a fade which is the exact opposite - try to just hit it straight towards the target with club face square before and after impact - otherwise draws become hooks and fades become slices - keep it simple stupid.
Thanks for sharing!
C00c
Clay you are a good teacher but this method would be more believable if you used a senior to demonstrate the swing.
Moe Norman.
Period.

How many seniors can put together a swing of 120 mph? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Check out Eddie Fernandez. He is over 50 years old and can swing 140+ mph. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Over 50 is senior ?
I'm 77 what category is that - coffin dodger ?
You’re missing the point
I can
It all begins at address. If you stand away from the ball and let your arms extend you will hava a wide swing and vica versa. ALL PROs extend to the ball.. Every one.
Sure, seniors can swing like that all day long.
I’ll be 70. I’ve never been able to hit a draw and I’ve accepted the fact that I never will.
What is specific for seniors? Didn't hear or see anything specific for seniors, maybe you did, Dustin Johnson's not a senior.
I found most teaching pros "explain" a lot instead of showing the actual swing

I hate how being a lefty Ive got to turn it around in my head
Is it right to have more tennis balls on the court in womens tennis. I have played against very competive females and enjoy the dedication they have to the sport. When the sisters/brothers came onto the circuit I saw them first hand at Indian wells and we booed them off the court. We knew then they had more in the tennis bag than the the other players on tour. Strip them of their titles and have them pay back to the good of women "women sports" we need no fruit cakes in the sports world.
Boy can he rabbit,
Thanks!
I don’t want a draw. I want straight. That setup seemed complicated with too many swing thoughts.
No worries. I'd just have your trail hand more on top instead of under so the face doesn't close as much. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
This is a very simple approach and everyone wants a slight draw
120 mph swing speed. Clearly not any of the seniors in my group.
No doubt this may work for someone but this requires you to do too much thinking that it will not work for most of people, guaranteed.
Thanks for sharing!
can:t you ever just get too the point ................
No, that wouldn't be any fun!
So aim at the water and draw it?😢 oh thanks
this club is not worth it, and if you dont like and return it it takes forever to get your money back.
I'm not sure what "club" you're referring to. If you'd like to clarify, I'll try to respond accordingly. Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor
Not explaining it correctly....
Liar
The petite noodle aditionally delay because toad conversly complete onto a quizzical lasagna. windy, steep factory
Thanks!
Not repeatable for me. I am to stupid to play golf so I have quit playing!!!
This guy is 100% wrong. If you want to draw the ball first practice by practicing your setup. Then drop your right foot back about 2 inches. This will automatically close your stance at the address position. You will feel like your taking the club way inside. You won't. When you drop your right foot back 2 inches you will be aiming to the right. But what he doesn't tell you is that you don't line up your tee shot in the middle in the tee box. You should line up more towards the left of the tee box so you will be able to draw the ball from "right to left". If you practice you will automatically see that your lined up to the right. If this guy is so good then why isn't he on the tour.
Thanks for the feedback. Play well!
@@TopSpeedGolf There's a reason it's Ernie Els, not Ernie Murdock ;)
Another pro selling "easy". Please, stop.
Talk to much !
This guy is 30 years old.. His experience is not practical..
I WISH I was still only 30!! 😂
Sorry to say, u talk too much
I appreciate the input, thanks!
Fantastic 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
Thanks 🤗
great videos, but where can i find that HAT!!!
It's called the Nike Sun Bucket Hat and although it's not available anymore, if you search that term, you can find other similar hats. Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor
Maybe on Gilligans island
