The Best Golf Tips To Strike Your Irons Solid and Pure

[@TheMcfreeze]

Clay you've almost broke my left wrist trying to bend it downward and compress the ball. I can't stop drawing the ball and hooking it.

[@steveschraedel]

I seriously think this is the single best golf instruction video I have ever seen, and I have seen dozens if not hundreds.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Wow, thanks a bunch!

[@ben_joven]

Been down a bunch of rabbit holes with YT golf instruction, and for my body type, age and athletic ability nothing touches Clay’s instruction (for tennis too)! Also got the smoothest Tennessee accent of all time ( pause). Keep doing your thing my guy! 🙏

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks! Appreciate it.

[@jmsclvn]

Hands down this video made my swing so much better thank you so much

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it helped!

[@boarder55535]

Best video teaching how to hit your irons pure. You had all the components and explained it in a simple way!

[@boarder55535]

Increased my irons a distance of 30 yards

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

[@billhill4929]

Why would anyone, anyone give a thumbs down?? Clay, you are the best!!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Haha...thanks!

[@marklajoie216]

This really helped my game! Thanks. I am 58 and have been playing golf since i was 12 and am now playing the best golf of my life! Thanks again!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it helped. Thanks for the feedback.

[@kenneth6847]

Nice of you to spend so much time teaching people

[@kevindhouck]

You are the best instructor I have ever seen on the Internet and trust me I have seen dozens. My club face was always open and I never could square the club face because I didn’t realize that my wrists were not bowing down like you just showed

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Wow, thanks!

[@tomburlison7785]

Been golfing for 30 years and low to mid single digit handicap. ALWAYS struggled with my irons and never de-loft them. Have always flipped and slid (and probably stand up) but I use my timing to try and compensate. Most days I'm ok, but some days I'm terrible. I overcome it with hitting good drives, chips and putts. The rolling the hands over is something I have never seen. Not like you show. It feels to me like a reverse of the flip that I do. I also am steep. I will be heading to the range this afternoon or tomorrow and trying all of this and have no doubt if I put in the practice, my iron game will improve significantly. I really appreciate the KZbin video. Thank you.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks for sharing! Hope the video helps.

[@danielmccrae593]

This can't get any better... You guys are the very best. Been following you and taking your lessons for a couple of years now and the quality of your instruction videos keep going up and up. Amazing.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Great to hear! Thanks for the kind words!

[@herrgordongekko]

Thanks Clay, finally a pro that showed and explained to me the piece I have been missing for 30 years - the turning “in” of the wrist to close the club head. I have been away from golf for 16 years but now at practice I am hitting such nice compressed irons. I have had a good looking swing forever, reach sub 80 rounds when playing my top days, but never consistent, ever so often losing it high and to the right, not understanding,rolling over the wrists to compensate, having some quick hooks, the sense to be forced to rush a little bit. The sense of the ball sliding sideway on the face. Now they don’, full stop This is world class stuff! Grateful /Andy

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks for sharing!

[@alanbanks3587]

Clay where were you 30 years ago, I am 70 years old only had 3 lessons. But what you teach is right on point. Before your lessons I was driving 200 to 220 with what you have shown I now hit 265, irons are 25 yard longer. Now consistently. I need more practice, it will come. The great actress Julie Andrews, said, amateurs practice until they get it right. Profesional practice until they see no wrong. Thanks again

[@TopSpeedGolf]

I was just a little kid 30 years ago! 😀 Glad the instruction is helping so much. Keep up the good work!

[@nicoladestefano3109]

i'm 14 been golfing 3 times in the past week because there is a driving range 5 minutes from my house and now I can't stop watching golf videos. I unfortunately am not very good at the sport yet and have only hit the ball about 150 yrds with a driver but it is so fun. I have been using my friends driver but I need to save up for my own set or something sucks that they're so expensive.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Keep practicing and you'll get there. You can get used sets online for less.

[@Sacto_Dave]

Check Craigslist or Play it Again Sports

[@michaelcrow5249]

Clay, my man. I’ve watched all your videos. Improved my game from high 80s-90s to traveling and playing in tournaments with mid to low 80s CONSISTENLY. All I wanted to say is thank you. Keep up all the hard work and sharing your knowledge.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad to hear it

[@kyleduquette6361]

Literally gained 25yrds on my shot the first day after watching this. You're amazing bro, I can't wait to keep practicing and continue unlocking my Irons

[@ytlaksana972]

This is the best Golf Tutorial Video I've ever seen. I've been play golf just for a month and having difficulties to do consistent shot. And your tutorial really helpful. I cant wait to go back on field

[@SweatyStartup]

Got a birdie today because of your advice Clay! First one ever. Thanks!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Nice work!

[@steveschraedel]

@SweatyStartup, I've listened to your podcast, haha. Very insightful. Fun to see you on here!

[@casspper99]

Clay I just got back from the range and had to post right away how useful this video was to me. This video has transformed my swing in a way no other video has...ever! I still have a long way to go but I just want to say thank you.

[@johnsullivan4070]

Tried applying the upward facing wrist hinge on the range earlier today. Couldnt believe what results I was seeing, crushing irons/hybrids an inceedible distance. Unbelievable lesson, improved my tekkers no end. 200 balls hit, 90% of which were crushed 😳. Tremendous lessson and full kudos to you Clay!

[@bravosfan2510]

I have to tell you that this video helped me so much. I hit my irons better than I ever have in my life today. Thank you!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it helped!

[@iokbob]

I'm glad you put this video out. I have been suffering from the open club face and short distance for the last few weeks and could not figure out how to square the club face at impact. This video has the answer for my problem. Thanks.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

My pleasure!

[@pauldubar6014]

what a fantastic set of tips. instead of having to watch multiple separate posts, Clay has captured all the key checkpoints in 30mins and unravelled the mystery of why I cannot generate distance. Despite the right motions and actions, I would invariably spear the ball to the right if I accelerated my club. Now I know the trick is in the wrists! Cant wait to hit the range again.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks! Best of luck

[@nathanbowers3058]

Wow. I am 34 and have been playing since I was 14. After watching this video and hit 100 balls at the range. It was the straightest and longest I’ve ever hit my irons. Life changing! I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time and never knew it. Thank you!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@johnselvaggio4890]

Best videos I have seen to date! Ill update you tomorrow after I play.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks!

[@billkingsbury4667]

Had to pause the video at 2:40 and let you know this is exactly my challenge. I feel I need to use my right shoulder/arm to create power, but I'm actually going over the top and slicing my irons or worse, topping everying. I'm looking forward to hearing how to correct that........

[@kevinhawley403]

I implemented this recently and it works like a charm. The key for me, was @ the 3'47" mark. Gets my club perfectly on plane, and you can feel theres more power packed into that position. I even now focus at the spot in front of the ball and am getting an extra clubs distance on ALL my irons. ...and flying over the green. lmao. THANKS!...SO much for this video!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

[@kevinhawley403]

@@TopSpeedGolf Im curious to know what you think about me "focusing on the spot in front of the ball"? (my thinking being that "the ball is incidental" anyway. Its seems to have me a lot more accurate and / or a higher percentage of the time, hitting the ground AFTER the ball...) (?)

[@laddgriffin482]

Best tutorial/explanation I’ve seen on KZbin so far. Well done!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Sacto_Dave]

I agree. What i like about Clay's presentation is the lack of golf jargon. So many instructors speak a language of their own that only pros and other instructors understand.

[@cmcilravy1023]

This dude is legit! As a 16, who shoots 9 over one day and then 23 over the next, he explains this so simple and pure...This game is not about powering through it or showing how much of a better athlete I am today......Mind Blown and Damn, I love this game for guys like this!!!!....Thank you Clay!!!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks!

[@brianellixson7947]

Easily the best golf tutorial I have seen. Watched this and hit the range right after. I have never hit my irons better. This video perfectly describes shallowing the club and allows you to visualize how to do it.

Hey Clay, I never leave comments but I have to for this video. I am a noobie to the game of golf. I love the game. Tried taking lessons from 2 different “pros”. After watching this video a bulb turn on.went to the simulator and wow I’m hitting the ball correctly now. Still have a lot of work to do but just wanted to say thanks !

You're welcome!

Ok so I know this is an older video but it kind of gave it a chance since I've been having a problem with my irons. A little back ground I started playing when I was 28 I am now about to turn 60 on June 22. Well I stop playing about 2010 and started again beginning of 2019. So I started from the beginning and tried to work on my swing. Well back in the day I used to hit my 8 iron 160. When I began again I now I am older but still I should be hitting it at least 150. Well was having a terrible time getting back to my distances. Well I watched this video and understood exactly what he was teaching. I went today and warmed up. Well I started hitting my irons using this technique and guess what? I was hitting my 8 iron and avg of 172, my 6 iron 200 yrds, my 9 165 yrds, My driver!! 302!!!!! Yup and I am 60!!!!! Man thank you sooooo much!!!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Awesome! Glad it helped

[@aspacepigtaipei]

There is not much instruction on this essential topic. It's as if teachers know this and keep it secret, focusing too much on other areas of the swing, whereas where the rubber hits the road is really where it's at.

[@arneldej]

I stopped playing golf out of pure frustration because I couldn’t hit my irons well. Been to many teaching pros over the course of 30 years of playing and none of them explained it quite like this video, i.e. the slot and the wrist rotation on the downswing. Can’t wait to dust off my old clubs and try this at the range. Thank you Clay!

For me once I started bowing that wrist i started sweeping the ball more coming in shallow and really started elevating my longer irons up into the air a solid 10-15 more yards and adding much more distance and spin with the loft. Timing those wrists is big and practicing doing it for sure. Great info and spot on as always Clay.

@@TopSpeedGolf I went to the driving range and worked on it. It was relatively easy to figure it out with irons. I started with my 9 iron that I usually use for distances of 130 yards and I ended up hitting close to 145 yards. 5 iron was close to 200yards. But even better, most hits were straight hits... no fades. It was a little more difficult with my driver. Just need to work more on it. I noticed if I slow down my swing with the driver it helps and I still get quite good distances. I guess with the driver we all try to hard :) Thanks again!!

[@downsouth1678]

Such great instructions, I told a few guys at my club to take a look at you guys videos. After practicing a little the iron drills to deloft the club i was able to feel the slingshot in my swing for the first time and i gained 2 clubs . Unfortunately when i showed up on the course i we t back to my old swing , so i guess I'll go practice some more on the range untill it gets natural so I don't switch it on the course

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks! It will take some time and reps for this to be course ready. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

[@georgeslecarboulec2325]

The out-in downswing or also called over-the-top comes from simply initiating the downswing with the arms while there isn't yet a change of the weight (which must be the first thing to do as teached by Mr. Hogan) to produce the down-movement of the arms and mainly the clearenceof the lower body for the correct pathway (in-out) that the club should travel for a solid-square clubface contact, Clay has stated that very clearly and is very correct.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks and thanks for sharing!

[@evansdrapos406]

Ok can’t wait to go the range because I do everything correctly until it comes to impact zone and then my right hand takes over. In the northeast so I’m practicing on a mat with rubber balls flying around my living room!! I’ll keep you POSTED!

[@mathieubellavance2506]

I've added about 20 yards to each one of my clubs by hitting them "pure". For me the biggest eye opener and best practice was to open up my stance which forced my hands to be ahead of the ball and really compress the ball. The sound is amazing as well.

[@jcsi17]

At what point do I actually bow the lead hand/wrist to square the club? At the slot or parallel to the ground during down swing or right before the impact position? It looks like Dustin Johnson and some of the pros do it at the top of the back swing. If we take that further, can I start with my lead hand/wrist bowed at the set-up (in other words, start the swing in the "impact position"--hips turned, hands forward/shaft leaning forward, and lead hand/wrist bowed, and club-face square--then swing with the goal of returning to that position)?

[@TopSpeedGolf]

There's no set time to bow the lead hand/wrist as long as it gets in the correct position at impact. If it works better for you to get there at the top of the backswing, then go with that. I think if you try your second proposal, you'll find you have little power and won't be able to maintain that position throughout the swing. Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor

[@nastynate9529]

I got to the point with my swing where I am doing all of this, except with a strong grip so I don't have to turn my wrist down into impact. I guess its not quite the same, but it feels better than trying to square it up. I am working on it though, by keeping the strong grip for now and playing with an open face I am forcing myself to learn the wrist turn.

Nice Class and tip

[@ravi84721]

this guy is pretty awesome with the instruction. I wish I found this channel sooner. keep up the good work.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

I appreciate that!

[@johnathonwoolsey8163]

Lefty here - Clay this helped me so much! I find if I don’t have the wrist turn, it’s a complete shank. When I turn it over, it’s a beautiful shot and ball flight. After we’re in the slot, what forces you make that wrist turn consistently?

[@TopSpeedGolf]

I would try to do it as early as possible in the downswing. It just takes reps to get to where it's second nature. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

[@fahmiamri]

I've watched tons of golf channel on utube but to me TSG is one of the best as the details in his explanations really open up my eyes to my issues etc. & The explanation is clear and concise. Keep it up

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Wow....thanks!

[@eunii7]

I’m left handed best tutorial ever very clear explanation than my teacher 😊from 🇯🇵

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thank you! 😃

[@shortyumpire]

At 24:27 the slow motion swing it seems to me you are not bending the wrists as early as you say. Care to expand? When I do this, it definitely straightens out my iron shots, but I am curious about the swing points there.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

He is exaggerating in the demonstration and you should too when you try to do it. Feel is not real and often times you need to feel like you're moving it a mile to get an inch change. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

[@jksojmo123]

Very good info -has helped improve my contact tremendously-thanks

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it helped

[@robhart9484]

Love the way you explain driving the nail into the ground to create compression. Great tips!! I have a feeling this is gonna help my iron shots,, thanks.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks! My pleasure.

[@nealthorbjornsen5482]

Clay is really helping my game. Thanks. I should be watching you on Sundays final rounds with your swing! Stay safe. Thanks

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad to help

[@docomo661]

Do you also want to have that bowed wrist action with a driver to shut the face? Would that help promote a more on plane / inside-out swing with a driver?

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Yes

[@paulcollier9719]

Clay can you teach my kids how to play golf? Enjoy your instruction very much, super helpful.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Yeah, the videos can help golfers of all ages

[@seanpellerin7906]

this is EXACTLY what I needed. Well done video. Thank you!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it helped!

[@timnew7662]

Thanks for the latest video Clay. On your first segment I have notice that I am now starting to push my iron shots to the right and I am guessing that it is because I am starting to leave the face open like you demonstrated in segment #1. But when I try to roll my wrist to close the face like you were showing I am having trouble with over doing it and smother hooking the ball. Is there a key point in the downswing that I can use to know when to start and stop the move with the left wrist? Thanks.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

My pleasure! Sounds like you're on the right track. Just ease off the feeling a little bit to get it to straighten out. Play well!

[@timnew7662]

@@TopSpeedGolf Thank you. With your video tips I have started getting the shown lag at the mid-thigh point of the down swing and thus the needed shaft lean at impact. Your video in the first segment showed me why I was starting to push the ball to the right, (not badly but just enough to miss the greens to the right) and what I needed to do to cure it. It was just that in the past when I bowed the left wrist to square the face I was closing the face so much it resulted in the pull smother hook. And I do have the tendency to use a grip a little on the strong side. Which is likely a big factor in why that was happening. But thanks for everything you are doing.

[@gregbrown4136]

Great info. I lose my compression at impact. I need consistency. I’ll hit 6 out of 10 good. 2 that are ok. 2 that are total scrubs. If you can, please do a video on checkpoints in the swing. Thank you sir.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Hi Greg, this video you're commenting on has all the best stuff to help you. I would practice the drills. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

[@gregbrown814]

Thanks for the email

[@91scalloped]

If I can make a suggestion: go to free golf online, (same videos found on youtube) you'll find a guy that takes you step by step through this very swing, it is just broken down into finer and more detailed points. Again, it is the same swing, just the key points are broken down better. The gentleman is a redheaded English man that is very easy to spot. Its a very easy swing to take to the course if you actually follow the steps offered. Using a mirror is very handy. I went from being a snowman golfer to actually having a pretty swing and playing competitive golfer.

[@pozmarciv]

Thanks clay.. Great video once again

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@pamcromwell8581]

The slow motion views are what really helps me to ‘see’ the moves you talk about making. Real time is just too fast to learn a move.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks for sharing! You can also slow down the video in the settings on KZbin.

[@soothe5242]

Ok I had a lesson on iron play specifically on compression and paid $90 for the hour. Learned more from this video.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks and thanks for sharing!

[@travisbrown1893]

😂

[@kalilboulos5392]

Hello Clay. Great video as they all are. What is the key to hitting 4 or 5 iron just like a PW and I thank you in advance...

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks! Make the same swing as you would with a PW. The longer clubs are naturally going to be more difficult to hit.

[@aspacepigtaipei]

Try One Length Irons.

[@caseyjonesbklyn5796]

Thanks for the video

[@TopSpeedGolf]

No problem!

[@golfcoachmilo1847]

Always good to practice these things, which every golfer should do.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

100% agree 🙂

[@garthwilley3713]

Just watched the video and saved it! Explains a lot why I'm so inconsistent. Heading out now to try out the advice - in particular the hip turn and the club trajectory and wrist flex. Thanks in great expectations!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it helped!

[@brentsaylor1725]

Fantastic information.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad you think so!

[@Jimmy058910]

I think this is great info. When you shallow out the swing a bit, does it mess with the lie angle a bit? I feel like when I try to fix this like the video, I'm messing that up a bit

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Typically, you'll come down more flush with the turf. Those who come down steep will have toe down divots usually.

[@carpentrydesigndovetail4219]

this video is frigging amazing

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks!

[@maxmiller1601]

Seems like it should be so easy! Aaaaaa🤬 I love golf!

[@adambonlander7302]

Would you rotate the wrist when you get towards level on the downswing? I tend to twist the screw or rotate the wrist at the top to start the downswing.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

The most important position is the one you're in at contact, so if you find it easier to do it at the top of the backswing and it works for you, go for it! Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor
