Clay,

I should watch your instruction videos on a weekly basis. I learn something new every time I watch one of the videos. Kudos to you for being so clear with your instructions. Now, it is up to me to do a better job of registering the tips. Thank you again!

[kimwieslaw]

This is one of the best iv watched thanks 🇦🇺 hope you do the other clubs ⛳️

Step 2, getting the hips rotating. As a kid, I was taught to restrict my hip rotation to increase the X factor. Your tip to get your hips rotating makes a big difference now that I'm older. Great tip.

very helpful. Hands were getting disconnected almost within the first few inches of the takeaway, now I am acutely aware when I am doing it.

This has helped me a great deal. My hip turn was never complete. Better than the last $500 set of lessons I bought

Another great video. Just got into golf this year (50 rounds played) and these videos are a huge help, I first watched this in April. With so much digital time these days, I've been overwhelmed with golf instruction. I'm glad I came back to this. The lift motion is what I was looking for today. I find my swing just keeps going back flat and arcs all the way around and across the line well passed parallel at the "top". It'll take work get my tempo with a shorter swing but the right leg action in this video is the true secret to power!

Congrats on the Ping deal Clay! You more than deserve it!!!

[rekofracassi]

Clay you are the only instructor that I study that makes sense to me. You’re great and after a little digging I realized you are only 1 hour and half from me! How much do you charge for private lessons? Tell me how I can get more info. Thanks Reko!

Great detail on the trail foot pushing out to power the hip rotation. Never been conscious of this and have never heard this describe this way before. Thanks!

[RobBiagi]

Terrific instruction as always, Clay. My top-of-backswing position has never been complete with a correct, powerfully-positioned coil. I assumed it was lack of flexibility and strength. It seems I wasn’t turning PROPERLY, early enough! I am doing the reps and working to ingrain these concepts! 👍🏼

All your videos are great, this one is too.

A golf club is a really well balanced tool. I use Ben Hogan's waggle to set up the backswing. The arc, rotation, club position all come into effect. Jason Dufner uses this method to put a check point on his positions. It is misunderstood because golfers who copy this method seem to set the wrists too early. This will also help in releasing the club at the correct time.

You are a very good coach in tennis and golf, I love you videos very much.

[molemolemole]

[afizahyusoff]

love all the videos on this channel...

I realize this was about the back swing but that "push the foot forward against the ground" is even more effective as the first move of the downswing - though with the left foot of course. It is incredible how it immediately rotates the left hip, moves the left knee out and even cause a bit of a sit for greater power. The arms are then just along for the ride.


I don't remember where I heard of it but it cured my early extension immediately. But you have to only to do with with the left foot on the downswing. If you simultaneously push your right foot back, it cause TOO much of a hip turn, shifts your right knee in and you get stuck, which causes pushes.


I could never feel what the pros meant when they said they swing with their feet against the ground until I did that.

Clay, could you do a video of pre round stretches? It would be an awesome Christmas gift for us. Thanks for all you do!
