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...

Imagine you’re about 150 yards out…

All you need to do is hit a nice solid shot and you’re good.

Because “simple” shots are in no way simple when you’re flipping the club…

One shot is hit thin, the next is heavy… The inconsistency is so frustrating that it’s taking the enjoyment out of the game…

If this sounds anything like your game, then you need to check out this video…

G080. The Best Golf Ball

In this video, you’ll discover the best golf ball.

Do you remember playing with the old wound golf balls? 

If you were just a bit off, the ball would curve like crazy…

And if you hit it thin with a wedge, you could easily carve a deep smiley face in it, making it useless.

Fortunately, golf ball tech has come a long way…

Modern balls fly straighter, longer, and are much more durable. 

The real game changer was the Titleist Pro V1. In 2000, pros flocked to the Pro V1, and it quickly set the bar for golf balls.

Now, what I’m about to show you in this video may shock you…

But I believe I found a true Pro V1 challenger. In fact, it may even be a Pro V1 killer…

This little-known brand has shocked all of us at Top Speed Golf. We love the feel, the sound, and oh yeah… the distance.

Watch now to get a review of this new ball and see the FlightScope stats that shocked us!

L025. Why You Must Cast the Golf Club

In this video, you’ll discover why you must cast the golf club.

You can swing as hard as you want…

But you’re not going to generate much clubhead speed if you cast the club near the top of your swing.

You simply have no chance of getting the distance you want if you’re burning up all your speed well before you’re even near the ball.

Now, we’ve all heard that you shouldn’t cast the club… But there’s more to it…

In this video, you’ll discover the truth about casting and how you can maximize your lag.
