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...

CD016. Golf Swing Follow Through in Crazy Detail

In this video, you’ll learn the golf swing follow through in crazy detail.

You’re probably missing out on easy distance simply because you’re cutting off your follow through way too early.

To get that extra distance back, you need your hips, shoulders, arms, and club to work together all the way through to the top of your swing.

In this video, you get in-depth analysis of the follow through to show you how to finish your swing strong.

Discover…

  • How to let your wrists naturally extend after contact,
  • Why finishing high with your chest is essential for clubhead speed, and
  • How far you need to rotate your hips through contact.

Watch now to add speed to your swing!

G078. Club Face Rotation in Golf

In this video, you’ll learn about club face rotation in golf.

The key to hitting laser-straight shots is to consistently square up your face at impact…

Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done.

If you’re off just a bit, you’ll spray balls all over the course.

So how do great players hit dead-straight shots, over and over again?

You’re about to find out…

In this video, you’ll learn how great players rotate the club face so consistently that nearly every shot is dead straight.

You’ll discover…

  • Why it doesn’t matter much how your club face rotates in the backswing, and
  • How one simple move can help you square up the club face at impact.

Watch now to stop spraying balls all over the course and start splitting fairways!

GS005. Ball Speed | Understanding the Science of Golf (Golf Pro Training)

In this video, you’ll learn everything you need to know about ball speed.

Ball speed is one of the biggest determinants of how far you hit the ball.

Now, you know that off-center hits will likely hurt your ball speed and distance…

But what you may not know is exactly how much your ball speed varies at different areas of contact on the clubface.

In fact, there’s even an area that’s slightly off-center that can actually help get you more ball speed.

In today’s video, you’ll get an interesting, in-depth analysis of ball speed.

You’ll discover…

  • What factors primary determine your ball speed, and
  • How PGA Tour players produce ball speed, including their stats for club speed, smash factor, and more.

GS004. Dynamic Loft | Understanding the Science of Golf (Golf Pro Training)

In this video, you’ll learn how dynamic loft affects your launch angle and spin rates.

Now, you may be thinking to yourself… “Why does dynamic loft even matter?”

I’ll admit some of the golf science that I’ve studied gets pretty “geeky” at times, but understanding dynamic loft is important and is pretty simple once you learn the main concepts.

So check out this video…

You’ll see a simple demonstration to help you understand how your club loft changes depending on how you come into impact.

You’ll finally know exactly why the ball flight was super high or too low…

Or why you didn’t get the spin you wanted on the ball.

Also, you’ll learn the dynamic loft stats of PGA Tour players so you can get a better idea of the optimized loft angles for different clubs.

Watch now to take the mystery out of dynamic loft!

S014. Golf Tip | How to Aim Correctly

In this video, you’ll learn how to aim correctly.

A student of mine was struggling…

No matter what he did, his alignment was off.

That’s frustrating… Imagine thinking about your alignment excessively every time you step up to the ball.

Now, before you think that’d never happen to you, know that alignment issues are pretty common.

How does that happen?

It happens slowly over time. You just don’t notice that your aim is off a bit and you get used to it.

And if your aim is off a little, it can cause big, frustrating issues.

In this video, you’ll get a quick and reliable tip to ensure your aim is dead on.

Your ball spin rate and spin axis plays a huge role in determining your distance, ball flight, and how well the ball checks up on the green.

But understanding these spin dynamics can seem a little daunting…

Until now, of course 🙂

In this video, you get an easy-to-understand analysis of ball spin.

You’ll discover…

  • How your club loft and angle of attack affects ball spin,
  • How your ball cuts through the air differently based on how much spin you put on the ball, and
  • How the gear effect changes your spin axis.

Also, you’ll learn the spin rates of PGA Tour players so you can get a better idea of the optimized spin rates for getting more distance and the spin rates you need to get the ball to check up quick on the green.

When was the last time you played with a jump rope?
