Set Up & Alignment Myths | The Complete Driver Guide

[@gunnarjinx]

What is noticeable in most lessons about that down swing of driving the ball is how everyone is getting back on the right leg in the back swing (right handed swing) and then shifting to the left leg before u finish the back swing = ALL GOOD .... except nobody mentions to keep that head over the right knee all through impact .... so most people shift AND the head goes with that shift so they hit the ball downwards and push, slice or both cause upper body is not over the ball...not behind it at all! There's lot of head crunch towards right knee to keep that body sway at impact = body in a bit of a reversed "C" position really.... and that can't be done if u move ur whole body to the left with that driver.... good for iron swing... not driving! I remember u doing a great video were u positioned urself WITHOUT swinging at all so people understand that body position at impact really without any backswing... loved that... needs to be reminded constantly .... if u ask me. Love u kiddo.... love ur videos... take care ;))

Best coach on KZbin I think.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Wow, thanks!

[@swu1413]

You just explained the issue that’s been bugging me for a long time. Thanks!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad to hear it!

[@swu1413]

@@TopSpeedGolf Hi Clay, when I adjusted my alignment by tilting, I had to move the ball further right to accommodate. Is that correct? Thanks again!

[@bigtime37ja]

On my way to the range NOW. Thank you for the videos...!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Have fun!

[@alexfraser5644]

Wow lots of good info there that made sense. Cant wait to implement it as I'm bad for coming over the top

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks!

[@JazzHandzLMT]

The shoulder tilt was a game changer for me. Im hitting more fairways and I feel much more comfortable pulling driver out. I even look at fairways differently when standing on the tee.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Nice!

[@333brooky]

Thanks Clay tried this today and the weight shift is a great feeling

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Great to hear!

[@superbrbable]

Wow...thanks - I have had that alignment issue for 30 years...i hope I can fix that now!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

You can do it!

[@bytor99999]

Great video as usual. Thanks for the tips.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

No problem!

[@stevejuliano2488]

Great teacher Clay. Thanks boss.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks for watching!

[@311hitwall]

At 5:05 it almost seems like a slide/twist using your left leg as column. Seems like i will try to turn my hips too fast. If I keep my arms really loose I always seem to keep the clubface open. too.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Yes, you want to push with the lead leg. This is something Clay talks about in the Compression Line section of the Top Speed Golf System on the website. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

[@usongcho808]

Thanks for the instruction...just about every pro I've seen at PGA events tilt their spine just as shown here...the side of their shirt above the right hip has a distinct crinkle when they setup to hit their driver.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

My pleasure!

[@tref51]

That was such useful information and very clearly explained thank you.

[@im7895]

There's no way I'd have my golf bag there! Guaranteed I'd hit it lol as always great video Clay👍

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks 👍

[@kooliesmalls431]

Heading to innisbrook for a preround thanks man

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Good luck!

[@larrywinston6680]

Great lesson my friend. I've noticed that if I keep my right heel on the ground through out the swing to the finish I can hit where I'm aiming. Am I right?

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Whatever works for you!

[@harrisonqi5537]

very good,thank you sir.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

My pleasure!

[@fransbernard6772]

We contact the ball with driver in front left feet i a upward move is it?

[@TopSpeedGolf]

just a tilt

[@scottmackey4182]

Clay, you need to do a video on tempo of the swing. The timing between the draw back, rotational back swing and the downswing is critical to a good shot.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

It's pretty subjective but most Tour players have a ration of about 3:1 backswing:downswing

[@scottmackey4182]

@@TopSpeedGolf I agree. There is a neat app called Tour Tempo that identifies 4 tempo recordings to help you start slower and increase to a tour speed level. Quite fascinating and useful. Check it out.

[@wdh375xen]

Be nice to see a video with separate scales beneath your feet so the results can then be synchronized with your swing to really visualize the actual weight transfer through a swing.

[@stross7411]

Do you do personnel lessons?

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Hey, thanks for the interest but Clay doesn't offer private lessons. He focuses all his time on making videos and running the business. This allows him to help as many people as possible. Robin, our Director of Instruction, does private lessons in the Orlando, FL area. If interested then follow this link: topspeedgolf.com/in-person-lessons-with-robin-rosado/. Play well!

[@jhhassler]

Clay you are the man! I would have given up golf if it wasn't for your www.topspeedgolf.com system. Thank you so much!

[@chuckholroyd7458]

Recommend everyone check out Clay's video at 50% speed video. - Hilarious because Clay sounds totally messed up at 50%! But the method to the madness is truly to see how much his buttocks has rotated at contact - and I bet it is a lot more than most of you and certainly me.... HA !

[@carlor.s.4742]

Stack & Tilt advocates keeping weight Left(55-45) at address which is opposite of what you are recommending.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks for sharing!

[@derekcarday]

Not what data shows when measuring tour pros. Sorry BUB

[@richardhartcraft6914]

Why can’t you get with jordan spieth he needs help bad

[@TopSpeedGolf]

I would welcome his call :-)

[@jamieplimmer9836]

Lost it after 15 seconds

[@user1fja98dnaiid]

Id be scared of my shot hitting the golf bag and hitting me in the face.
