This totally redefined what I thought was a proper weight shift. As Todd said, transformative!! Clay, we are all indebted. Your content is outstanding!!

[@toddgaak422]

This drill was an absolute game changer for me. I've always had trouble with my weight shift. This was the best explanation I've ever seen or gotten, and I've been taking lessons for the past couple months at $80 an hour!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

At that rate, you'd have paid for a few years worth of Top Speed Golf All Access after just about 4 lessons!! 😂 improve.topspeedgolf.com/get-access/ Glad it helped!!

[@andrewquinn6634]

I think this the 3rd time I've watched this. It helps to watch it every once in awhile to keep from falling back into the old habits.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it helps! Thanks for watching 👍

[@andrewquinn6634]

I just shot my lowest score in years this afternoon and I'm blaming my reviewing of this video.

[@chrischurchill3545]

Definitely the best golf video I’ve ever seen. Such a simple and easy explanation that makes so much sense. Thank you sir!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Wow, thanks so much!

[@jeffmiller1387]

Probably one of your best lessons. So important for ball contact. Thank you!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@joshuaherman2118]

This pump drill video was exactly what I was looking for to help with my hip rotation. Took it to the range and immediately saw results. Love the videos and your explanation of moves. Keep them coming

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it helped!

[@golfmasterhyeseong-jin]

Today, I watch your video and learn to swing. It seems like the best point lesson. thank you

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@davereibel4894]

Great video Clay! Thanks for all of your great instruction.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gregrichie3677]

Emphasis on a back and forth piston movement is more descriptive and effective than the idea of a weight shift. Good lesson!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ovomed]

Agree! Nice piston analogy. On backswing the left shoulder points towards a foot beyond the target ball and on striking the ball the right shoulder is pointed towards the ball, so to achieve the latter the right elbow has to tuck to the front pocket/belt with the left butt and hip rotating out to the back. Back to the driving range... 😁😅

[@terrylada7350]

This is brilliant, thank you for explaining the feel so well

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@steveperry1344]

clay, this is what i've been working on for the last couple of years but haven't been able to perfect a good pivot move, this is really gonna help, thnx.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

You can do it! Thanks for watching 😃

[@steveperry1344]

clay, i just watched the 'natural positioning move' free video and it's like you opened the secret, it worked instantly. i remember it being mentioned years ago in harvey penick's "little red book" but never got it till now. it's like holy cow!!! i'm gonna sign up, again thnx so much.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Hey, glad to hear it! Thanks for signing up! Play well!

[@luctremblay1260]

Best video on clearing the hips so far

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks I appreciate that!

[@daniyeespheej]

Awesome education and teaching instructions! Thanks!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

It was my pleasure!

[@minraut5472]

Very simple and easy to understand the basics. Thank you.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching 👍

[@amfohr]

Yeah understanding is the easy part, execution is the harder part

[@courvilleg1]

Great so important. It’s always what teach in a first lesson. Some great ideas!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad you think so!

[@dwightpalmatier4430]

What a great golf lesson. I’ll start practicing these chain link exercise techniques until they become second nature. Wow!!! Just what I need to start using my lower body a lot more in my golf swing. Much appreciated.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

You're welcome, thanks for watching 👍

[@spartacus1577]

Gonna go home and try the “Beyoncé Single Ladies” piston move. Should help my golf and my swag game 😂

[@raywilliams5099]

I came home from my first lesson and showed my wife what I learned and she said it looked like the single ladies dance 🤦

[@jbutla18]

Lmaoooooo! This went over a lot of people’s head 😂😂

[@c1985paul]

What the hell are you talking about

[@toddgaak422]

Hahaha. I thought the same thing.

[@ancelay182]

This is great. Maybe the best explanation I've ever seen. Thanks for the content. New subscriber here.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jasonbourne488]

So glad you clarified that weight shift is small.

[@thammasornpathummas5884]

Thank you very much pro. so I can realize how body move during back to drown swing...thank again..

[@TopSpeedGolf]

You're very welcome! 👍

[@timdavies710]

hi Clay, yet again brilliant video. As a single figure handicapper i have never found rotation easy, this lazy rotation and poor weight shift i think has always stopped me getting down to scratch. that along with being 340llbs doesn't help me though. again brilliant instructional video and easy to follow. thank you

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting 😀

[@76MUTiger]

Clay, lookin' good! Looks like you've spent some time in the weight room. Lookin' like a linebacker to me! Great instruction, as always!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks 👍

[@buckmchoots8824]

Wry good. Really nice lesson. I’m plus 1 and still struggle getting trapped on my left side going through

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it helped!

[@JamesBBKK]

Thanks bro!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

No problem! Thanks for watching 😀

[@richardmehalick9076]

You’re still the best!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks a bunch!

[@luctremblay1260]

After 10 month of golfing maube i will stop swaying good video

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Let me know how it goes!

[@goldengate8287]

Clay ... does the left knee really just point straight out during the backswing? Doesn’t it break in a fraction? Excellent video!!

[@triscoles]

So on the downswing this model is the opposite to the force pedal model where you press your lead ball of the foot down? (Don't a lot players end the downswing on the toes eg Justin Thomas?) Thanks.

[@OrangutanTradeSalesmen]

Dude is a gifted teacher and player

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that 👍

[@fishmojo865]

And Clay doesn’t even have an English accent 😮

[@jamestao539]

Great drill! One question, the piston drill should be initiated by the upper body or the legs, I.e. the lower body? Thanks!

[@kevinnathan7506]

Clay, could use lead foot and trail foot )(for us lefties). Love the videos,

[@diggndeeper]

Is there a modification for this for senior golfers? I'm having more success with my driver if my lead foot is stationed back half a shoe or so. In other words, my lead toe is aligned with my trail instep.

[@bj146651]

How are you doing weight shift though? From back swing to down swing what are you feeling or what is your body doing to get that shift

[@brianbunnell6645]

What is the easiest way to match this up with a shallowing move. I usually get steep when I try.

[@cbstevek]

Some years ago during a lesson, a pro suggested that I not straighten my right leg during the backswing to allow more loading into the right side.. You don't seem to worry about that so much as you swing back and thru. Is that one of those 'manipulations' you mention?

[@lomein8505]

Does this work for driver?

[@geemac7267]

I tell my wife all the time golf should be renamed Frustration Ball.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Hahaha! 😂

[@shepardsmith3235]

Really bending the back sideways coming into the ball is not for everyone. I have a bad back as do most older people to one extent or another and would probably wind up with a spinal fusion if I really tried to do this consistently. So take this with a grain of salt and adjust to what you an do. And of course do your exercises to protect your spine.Both stretching and weights. .

[@malcolmsharpe5913]

My only “issue” with this videos and almost all videos alike is that the people executing the demonstration have been swinging golf clubs for years. Give this exact same instruction to someone who is horrible at golf and it doesn’t quite translate the same. With all that being said, I’m heading to the range to practice this now. I hope it helps

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Good luck!

[@shanedeel2]

In my experience you have to try 100 different drills to find one that shows results for you.

[@bydacoola]

thumbs down on the ending. lame. just another way to feel something is my guess.

[@tommymcnair1293]

Too much talking about the same thing without getting to the point

[@jerryk6343]

Excellent drill for not overusing arms❤

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad you like it!

[@chadschulze7892]

fully turning around a centered spine......without a mirror or a camera and you knowing what to look for............it takes effort and the feeling is quite strange........golf is hard.
