3 Power Leaks That Are Killing Your Driving Distance

[@rossduff7957]

I have been practicing your power swing technique as much as possible, here at home. My biggest challenge is flexibility! I am 70 years old, so I don't have the flex you have! Saying that, I decided to work on my power swing, only using the lag at parallel to the ground at the downswing and snapping to the finish point and follow-through. I was amazed by the distance!! AND accuracy! I hit my half swing 9 iron as far as I was hitting my full swing iron before practicing the power swing. That is a lot of power for an old-timer like me to suddenly develop!! I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out, once I introduce the power swing lessons to my driver!! Thanks Clay!! Hope you enjoy the beard!! Gotta be a story there!!!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

That's great! Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelvanpatter9464]

I really appreciate your method of teaching and the little tricks you point out in your videos. I'm 54 not hugely flexible but realize that my swing is magnanimously flawed. If I shoot 18 holes my arms feel like noodles when I'm through.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

My pleasure! Hope the video helps.

[@scooterjohnson9440]

this guy is good. his vids makes a lot of sense and ez to understand

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate that!

[@deanpatterson8192]

You continue to provide outstanding video instruction - thanks!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks Dean!

[@scruffymcmuffin9441]

This really speaks to me and opened my eyes. I really need to incorporate these tips into my driver which I been struggling with lately!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks!

[@sonnykrag9025]

Thanks for yet another great video! By the way - best example of 'casting' the club, was when you were hitting with 'restricted hips'! (c;

My pleasure!

Hi I feel like the instructional videos are very helpful because of getting older and less flexible don't help but anyways what I was getting at is I was slicing to the right alot and sometimes coming under the ball and getting it to go distance when it pops up and only goes 20 yards or so but not discouraged about it I jest have to keep practicing as much as possible what is the main thing I am doing wrong can u enlighten me how to overcome this

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Hi Jimmy, it's hard to know without seeing your swing but I would recommend searching "slicing" on our channel for some good drills. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

[@enricorizzoneto3560]

I appreciate your work, helping me a lot I take a picture when you show "restricted hip turn" and when you show "big hip turn" and i cant see any difference

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks!

[@alansayer6252]

Hi Clay I just had a new hip put it on my right side! I’ve been working out getting stronger it’s been a year but it still seems like I am coming over the top like my right hip can’t fire through! I was all the way down to a 4 /5 handicap, I’m up to a 12 because age and the hip, I wonder what I can do to improve hip power? I’m almost giving up. Need Help! Thanks Al.

Hey, if you're' looking for more distance then I recommend working through our 20 Minute Distance Fix program. People of all ages and abilities are gaining tons of distance on this program. See what our members are saying about it here: topspeedgolf.com/20-minute-distance-fix-success-stories/. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

[@240greyhawke]

Hi Clay. In one of your KZbin videos, you used a small training aid to give you an audible indication, of when you released the club. Working on my straight line release. It was like a cricket clicker toy kinda aide. What was it, and can we purchase it from you?

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Hi Brandon, I think you are referring to the ImpactSnap. We don't sell it because you can get it from their website. Use promo code cballard and get a discount. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

[@moheetoes]

I know sometimes at age 62, I don't turn my hips completely. Do ok, but as your video states, I do a lot better when I turn them hips. Work in progress Clay

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Hi Denny, it's a very common issue. Thanks for the comment.

[@rlm2008]

When I “feel” like I reduce my hip movement I hit drives the same distance but much more accurate. I think I straightened my right leg too much before. I try to initiate downswing by moving left knee toward target with light grip pressure. On video I get approximately 90* shoulder turn.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jerrymacias150]

Grip tension...? Throughout the swing. I was told to keep the pressure as lite as possible.... could you demo that for us...

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Search "grip" on our channel. We have a video on this subject. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

[@glennwatson3313]

I have to be careful when I attempt a big turn I don't sway backwards. Lately I have focused on minimizing sway but it seems to have limited my rotation.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Hi Glenn, just turn as much as you can while being able to retain your spine angle. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

[@demzunoplayer]

Another good one.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks!

[@michaelhorner912]

Clay- I’ve put on a few LBS working 60/70 hours a week. I’m not as flexible as a year or two ago. I can get the same club speed but I notice my head is turning with my shoulders. Is that unsafe? I swing between 112-115. I’ve tried to keep my head stable but then I can’t get the turn and speed. I use a Garmin G80 approach as my launch monitor n

[@TopSpeedGolf]

The head can turn some. That is fine.

[@mattsmith-bl2bg]

I have found that on the range, i can swing freely and hit the ball great, on the course I guide and slow my speed down.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Stop doing that 😂

[@mattsmith-bl2bg]

I'm afraid i'll lose accuracy.

[@shaneshabbz9627]

Should my feet be planted firmly and possibly flexed while turning and swinging through?

[@TopSpeedGolf]

No, you should be transferring your weight to your lead side and allowing your trail heel to come up as you come into impact and your hips are rotating. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

[@MikeJones-um3os]

Gotdam....Yo Clay, you're gonna have to stop bringing Quentin aka "The Thing" aka "Big Q-Dawg" out on your vids playa...He's startin to dwarf you Big Swoll 💪😂⛳🍻... Great Vid Boyz

[@BruceBusby]

Geeze! That's me. All power no speed

[@TopSpeedGolf]

You're not alone!

[@nathanthreeleaf4534]

It just blows me away that you hit 300+ yd drives like it's nothing.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

[@john1959ism]

Everything was fine, until the dude in the shirt showed up. Poor ability to communicate.
