The Game Changer Right Wrist Move For Hitting The Ball Solid

[@scottyament4105]

your the best teacher on youtube bar none, i'v been follow you Clay

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks!

[@scottyament4105]

if you don't mind me saying, some of the other comments are so nutty they don't even seem like they want to learn, your not wasting your time with me Clay, i learn from you big time

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Great to hear Scotty!

[@kryptoniterxn117]

Something about your teaching that makes it simple to understand. I appreciate this rare skill.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

I appreciate that!

Hi Clay, Yes you have put some fantastic vids out there for us amateurs.My thoughts on this video are If you can start down with your left arm after breaking your left wrist to top of backswing then make the right hand move to compliment the left hand (Mr Ben Hogan I wish I had two hands)a great shot should happen. My other thought is this. The right hand /palm moving down and then back to target line is the golden move for all of us coming over the top swingers .That move gets the club down so you can hit from the inside.Many thanks again for all your videos and great efforts to help us wannabee golfers.

[@steves3422]

One of the best how to maintain lag. Thank You!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

You're welcome!

[@anjamkhan9453]

Clay, you make it look easy, especially when you crank 300 yard drives like nothing. Thank you for the great tips. I know from personal experience these tips and drills work. I am hitting my irons so much better and further. I’m gonna keep it this and keep engraining these movements so they stick.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks 👍

[@technomama1]

Fantastic game changer! I feel now similarly to that first time I got proper idea how to swing the cricket bat.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks!

[@erichoward1731]

Thanks Coach 👌👍👍 to be honest coach with you all's lessons that I have listened to and seen I hit a straight ball nice loft nice roll no Side spin Can not get the draw quite right yet.🤔 I had a drive last off the toe straight as an arrow very tight fairway but I didn't draw it. But I'm enjoying the effortless swing you guys are the best ☝️

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@TheHolyLoomis]

I just started golfing after literally not touching a club for something like 15 years, I must have been around 10 years old. Your videos have been monumentally helpful, I've gone from barely being able to hit the ball at all to hitting it nice and straight on almost every swing in something like three weeks!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@Optunity]

You describe my bad swing so well. My swing thought now is to focus my elbows hitting my knee caps on the downswing. Thanks for video.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks for sharing!

[@danbradster1]

I normally have an annoying wristy release. I modified your feel a bit, and it's feeling pretty nice. "Throw the club down the fairway, but keeping it below 2m height (as it flies through the air)." It seems to get the release to stop rising through the ball, or flipping through the ball (because you don't throw the club with your wrists, but your whole body).

[@JoJo-kx2lf]

Great video, can you put the link for the tennis racquet drill video? Thanks

You can't wear a hat like that and only 29 dislikes unless you actually know what you're talking about. Outstanding content per usual, Ballard! I am absolutely pounding the ball since I learned the "move" and supination of the left wrist. From the bottom of my golf-addicted heart, thank you.

[@willielarsson9651]

Really clear guide and tips thanks! Cant wait to try them

[@TopSpeedGolf]

[@georgetinwick3450]

Quick question are the arms squaring the clubface not the hands based on this video it would appear so i have been trying to square the clubface with my hands and have never played good golf tks

This is great thank you

Beautiful swing Clay. Please assist with a drill to stop pushing shots to the right.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

I will put that in the list.

[@allahalibaba9063]

Another great video Clay..Could you in your videos with iron shots put in a few slow motion frames with you swing so we can see the move with out over emphasizing the swing..Thanks...Ali

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks! We always try to put slow motion swings in there. If you want to see more then check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaTUkqqhd5qHras

[@MrDjwalkietalkie]

Clay this tip is perfect. It worked instantly for my irons i have gained allot of distance even if i slow down my swing speed. But when i do the same with my driver ik have trouble to be consistent. Ik hope you have a tip for that. Thanks alot!!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

No, it just takes some practice. Adjust your feel to get the desired results.

Can you make a video of how to shallow out the swing more?

[@jamese1116]

I wrote this comment before seeing the end of the video. You read my mind!!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Haha...we also have many other videos on this on our channel.

[@7birdies221]

Hey Clay, I hope you can shed light on this matter. I was playing a friendly but competitive golf game with my brother and he hit his ball down the fair and when we went to look for it we couldn't find it. So he hit a provisional and hit that ball out of bounds. He dropped another ball and hit that ball, so we start heading towards that golf ball and we come to find his original ball that we thought was lost. He starts playing that ball and doesn't want to count the other 2 strokes he played before finding his original lost ball. How would you rule this??

[@tomvance8522]

When he took the drop and hit it he was declaring the other ball lost. Nice that he found it, but it’s out of play. When he took the drop he would be hitting 6, if I kept the story straight.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Hey Chris, technically, once he played a new ball, that's the one he has to take. But in the spirit of what is right, I would have let him play his original ball. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

[@dwainkinghorn]

In some other videos on the site talking about the release you have used the term "thumbs down" as part of the full release post impact. It seems like when I feel like I'm getting the right thumb down at the 45 degrees post impact it always leads to pushing against the shaft before impact and leads to left forearm not rotating and left wrist starting to cup through impact and the left elbow starting to slightly bend through impact. It is more the force of the club that pulls the right thumb down as opposed to actively releasing the right thumb from the thumb up position? In other words, should I be trying to feel rotating the right forearm through impact with the right thumb still "up" but the force of the clubbed moving down and to the right of the body pulls the right thumb down?

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Hi Dwain, feel is completely relative so It's hard to say but it sounds to me like you're not rotating through impact. All the things your'e describing are from the hips stalling out and the arms racing in front.

[@billmemmer9870]

[@stevenadams6693]

Does this go for driving the ball also?

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Hi Steven. Yes, it's the same for both. Best of luck!

[@The_Norse_Hunk]

I can't get this right after a month and a half of swinging. I don't trust the instructors around here to fix either... Just stuck. I have a trip planned to Bully Pulpit at Medora in July and I'm terrified lol.. Even when I do hit it what I feel is well, it hooks badly.

[@glennwatson3313]

When you describe the swing you show that you still have lag at impact (0:16) while compressing the ball. But in the slow motion video swing it appears at the moment of impact (3:35) you have completely straightened your wrist and there is no lag. Is this a 'feels' verses 'reals' thing? And if so is is possible to hold the lag for too long? Sorry for the long question.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

It's a little bit of a feel thing. The trail wrist is likely not going to be bent back in extension to the end range of your motion unless your wrists are just really unflexibile. They are going to be bent back some. I think you might be looking at a frame that's after impact too because I went back and looked just before the club touches the ball and Clay's wrist is bent back. Most amateurs are going to start having their trail wrist go into flexion (flipping) at impact. You absolutely can hold the lag too long but it's pretty rare. Lag doesn't do you any good unless you release it and that's what we talk about in the Straight-Line Release course on the website. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

This is a very hard move to learn. It requires a lot of athleticism and rotational motion that stall flippers are not used to. I wish fixing swing flaws was easier:(

[@stevemar8027]

So the greatest golfers in history say you can’t release to early and release from the top. Most instructors on the other hand say hold and release later??? So confusing !!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

I know! The truth is that feeling is relative. That is what they felt like. Most amateurs will cast the club and release way too early if they have that feeling.

Good stuff but, everything is labeled as a game changer with these golf video's.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks for sharing!

[@bitario723]

I have to respectfully disagree. Most people will hold onto the lag and not have a good release by chasing positions. You cannot teach the golf swing by teaching how to throw a ball down the fairway. The release points are very different. The best way to increase speed is to feel like you are throwing the club away from the ball from the top. It feels like you are casting, but if you have transferred your weight onto your forward leg just before completing your backswing, the shaft will be in a good position of just enough forward shaft lean for irons at impact. Watch Steve Pratt on YT or Mike Austin. That was a game changer for me.
