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...

G084. Iron Swing vs. Driver Swing

In this video, “Iron Swing vs. Driver Swing”…

You’ll get a thorough look at the swings to see what, if any, changes you need to make.

Have you ever had one of those days where you’re hitting your irons well…

But you’re so fed up with your driver that you’re about to throw it into the nearest dumpster?

It happens to a lot of players and it’s about as frustrating as it gets.

Heck… It goes the opposite way too…

You go to the range to work on your driver and then struggle with iron shots.

Pure madness… Let’s get you back on track…

In this video, you’ll get a close look at the driver swing vs. the iron swing so you can finally put a good, full round together.

You’ll discover…

  • How the “impact glide” separates pros from the rest,
  • Where to place the ball in your stance,
  • How your angle of attack changes with different clubs, and
  • What amount of loft to shoot for with different clubs.

Watch now to hit your driver AND your irons well!

NSA07. 3 Backswing Moves to Stop Your Slice

In this video, you’ll learn 3 backswing moves to stop your slice.

Imagine you’re having a shaky day on the course…

You’re making OK contact, but you’re fighting a slice that’s getting nastier by the minute.

And then comes your worst nightmare…

As you roll up to the next hole, you grimace because the right side of the fairway is lined with a big, long lake.

You know your next ball will soon “sleep with the fishes.” Heck… You might as well throw the ball into the lake to save time.

If that sounds like a typical day on the course for you, then you should check out this video…

You’ll discover how to save your next golf ball from a Godfather-like demise.

Watch now to get rid of your slice once and for all!

BR014. How to Start the Golf Downswing Correctly

In this video, you’ll learn how to start the golf downswing correctly.

And do you feel like your swing is out of sync?

Don’t feel bad… There are so many factors you have to manage for a nice, fluid swing.

It’s easy for your arms to come in faster than the weight shift… Or heck, maybe you’re actually falling back a bit at impact. It happens.

This video will help you simplify the downswing so you can make a smooth, synced swing.

You’ll learn…

  • How to transition into the downswing correctly, and
  • How to feel the proper weight shift all the way through to the finish.

Also, I’ll show you a couple of tell-tale signs of an incorrect weight shift that you need to look out for.  In particular, there’s one move in the downswing you must avoid (it may cause you injury).

L028. 2 Drills for More Lag

In this video, you’ll learn 2 drills for more lag.

Let’s face it…

Nobody wants to be the shortest hitter in the group…

And I sure as heck know that dealing with 170+ yard approach shots all day makes it tough to shoot a low score.

Here’s the solution: get more lag.

Getting more lag will help you get more distance… And getting more distance means you’ll have tons more fun on the course.

In this video, you’ll learn how to give your swing the kick in the rear it needs to get more lag.

Discover…

  • The 3 lag zones and which one you’re in, and
  • Simple drills to help you create more lag.

Watch now to get more lag and accelerate the club through contact with tons of speed!

G083. Driver Cheat | Petroleum Jelly on Driver Test

In this video, “Driver Cheat | Petroleum Jelly on Driver Test”…

You’ll discover if applying slimy substances to the driver clubface affects ball spin.

Do you remember the infamous “spitball” pitchers in baseball? 

Guys such as Gaylord Perry and Preacher Roe were notorious for doing just about anything to get the ball to knuckle through the air. 

But what about golf? Did the “spitball” shenanigans ever make it to the clubhouse?

Yep… Like a tired pitcher looking for something extra, unsavory golfers would sneak off and apply Vaseline, ChapStick, or some other slimy concoction to the clubface to reduce spin. 

But I’ve always been curious…

Does it work? Does applying “spit” to the clubface actually affect ball spin?

In this video, we’re gonna have a little fun… I set up a test to find out if this cheat is a myth or if it really works. 

Watch now to find out if you need to keep an eye on the new guy in your group who always has chapped lips 😉
