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...

Today, you’ll discover “The Difference Between Tour Pros and You!”

When it comes to the biggest difference that I see between professional golfers and the weekend warriors at your local country club or public course…

…its that the professionals are transferring more of the club’s energy into the golf ball.

So how are they doing it?

Well, the most important thing they’re doing is taking a big chunk of the club’s natural loft off at impact (by having forward shaft lean)…

…and this gives them more distance out of each club and it actually helps with consistency as well.

Today, you’re going to get an awesome drill that has a few unique tactics that you probably haven’t seen anywhere before (even if you’ve seen forward shaft lean drills)…

…including a hack with your trail shoulder that will ensure some forward shaft lean at impact!
