My first ever comment on YouTube. Hey Clay, THANK YOU! The driver was the only club I wanted to learn before hitting the fairway for the first time. This video is the BOMB! It worked for me. Thanks again.

Why do I love Clay Ballard? ? Because he gets right to the point and makes it easy to understand. Awesome tutorial. Thankyou from the UK.

Hi Clay, I'm just getting back to playing golf after a 25 year hiatus . Your videos with the slow motion, highlighted red line, and clear explanation of the mechanics with hands, club face etc. are incredibly helpful as I am a visual learner meaning I see it and I get it vs. being told only with words. Thank you so much for these great videos!

[TheIslandExpat]

This is the best driver video I've ever seen. Now I know how you're supposed to generate speed with the club. Insanely good video. I can't wait to try this out. Crazy.

this video alone took 15 strokes of my game... bare in mind I started playing less than a month ago, but I went from shooting 120's in my first 5 rounds to a honest 105 because i was able to hit more drives and irons (the lag was elemental!). Thanks man.

I wanted to thank you for a great lesson the fly rod movement has changed my entire swing and I was an 8 handicap thank you again added 50 yards to my driver

I like very much how you articulate your lessons. That’s a rare talent. Teaching is about communicating a message. You do that well. Congratulations. Keep up the good work.

I'm beginner just started golf few months ago . I saw many videos for beginners and was not able to understand the tips. I really appreciate Clay to make this video in excellent way to help and easily understandable for beginners like me . Once again thanks for such a excellent video !!👍👍🙏

Call Clay. I started out with 55 on nine holes. I shot 43 Thursday and I just shot a 42. I practitioner your lesson religiously. Practice chipping in my backyard and then go to the club about 4 day a week hitting on the range, and I can I practice on the o ok pen holes on the course. I told Sarah Curry to watch your video you’re amazing

Best online instruction thus far….his attention to detail is second to none

[sfobaygolfer]

Hi Clay. These tips resulted in DRASTIC improvements of my driver swing. Particularly "Snap, don't slap" is the difference maker. I have been hitting 'em long with a baby draw. Well done and thank you so much!

Just a shout out to Clay Ballard:

Top Speed Golf channel was found when i was asked to play golf for the first time 2 years ago. After a year of playing once a month. Followed by another year playing 2-4 times a month. All while watching a decent amount of these videos with minimal practice. Goes to show that Clay’s analogies, in depth tutorials, and just overall simplifying the golf technique... Make it easy for a weekend Golfer to look like they’ve been playing for multiple years. 2 years later and I have been able to go from a beginner to a consistent mid handicap golfer. Aside from those days where its just not clickin lol

Keep up the great work!

Hi Clay, I have just turned 70 and I am hitting the ball further and straighter than when I first started the game at 25! We old guy's never had tuition video's to keep us right in how to set up etc. But back then we were told that the left hand/arm for right handed golfers was the dominant hand/arm throughout the golf swing - till now - I find out that it does not matter which hand/arm one uses to create the golf swing! The right elbow was the key for me to create a good swing -ie- Keeping the right elbow close to my torso (side) following through with my right hand/arm created more consistency and longer distance hitting! Keeping the right elbow close to your right side would help all of those golfers who come over the top! I love your tuition tips Clay, i am sure you could explain to your followers better than I in how important the right elbow is!

[luckyjay]

Thanks Clay Ballard! You helped me add 70yards to my drive. Straighter and further. My swing was not going back high enough. Straight and high backswing added so much distance. From 220 to 300 now. Wow! Hitting the top area of the back of the driving range net. Also widened up my stance as you mentioned. Also noting my swing angle. Not chopping like you mentioned. You are the best!

[charleneguevara]

Love the game focus practice. I will start doing this whole routine on the driving range. Thank you

I enjoy that you talked about closing the club head face at address. You said to hit the outside of the ball. Hit the outside while coming from the inside to create the draw. The downswing plane is different from the backswing plane. I have a blister on top of my left big toe knuckle. I tape it so it doesn’t get red and sensitive. I think if I keep my toes off the ground I can roll to the outside of my left foot and get slightly greater club head speed. Friday at Dyker Beach GC in Brooklyn, NYC I hit a 294 yard drive from the white tees. The 7th hole is a par 5 482 yards (491-482). I’m a very flexible 70 year old guy who ran 14 marathons in the 1990’s & 2000’s. After a 28 year break I’m back very much in the game. I’ve written 20, 000 words on the golf swing thanks in large measure to the great videos of YouTube. Imagining the golf swing is a meditative art form. I had a chance to reach a green that many golfers don’t get a chance to do. I didn’t hit the green but I feel it will happen. Be Great Be Good and Be Lucky

Great videos clay - only play about once a month but the same group of about 10-12 guys each month for 16 years - after watching your videos for a couple of week and a 100 balls at the range smashed the guys by 8 strokes today - I have been doing so much wrong for so long - never had a lesson but watched plenty of other YOU TUBE VIDEOS - believe me these are the best on the internet by far - love the grip video with the marks on the glove as well - thanks Clay -I don't want to but I will tell the other in our group about your channel.

I love this video. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to trying this at the driving range. I will keep you posted on my results.

Perfect tutelage. The best explainer on biomechanics in the golfing world.
