First one here….great instructional video as always! Best instructor on YouTube.
This is great info … Thanks Clay!
Great video! But the ending link is not available, appreciate you fixing it, thanks!
@Top Speed Golf – Clay Ballard Hey Clay, thanks so much for making this video. It's EXACTLY my current challenge. I end up over-rotating and often times bending too much my left arm.
Then I end up rolling up my left arm above my pec in order to go back further. Then I end up coming down over the top in transition.
I'm working on trying to get my toe-up club on the backswing more in line with my spine angle.
Also I've been working on keeping my left arm straight, shortening my backswing and not breaking out of my posture.
It's hard to find the timing and transition.
I'm blind in my left eye. I can't turn my head from the ball
You should do a new session on why your right middle finger gets off the shaft
Great video Clay! I have struggled with the "left arm straight" deal for a quite a while, and I thought it was just a matter of not being very flexible. Your video was like a light bulb going off. Can't wait to work on this!
Hey Clay Burhan here from pakistan, how do I loosen up I am to stiff when my left arm is "straight" and i stand up out of posture when I swing
"my camera must be misaligned" I hope someday I am good enough to say that with a straight face and it actually be true haha
Thank you for the videos I am very new to golf and your videos have been extremely helpful to me finding my swing without developing to many bad habits.
I'm 6'6 and my arms are long so I have no problem with this. I have an early extension problem. If I take a shorter backswing, which is still pretty far, could it help with that?? Thanks
My daughter recorded me playing yesterday and I hit a good shot for me but noticed that I had a short backswing compared to you. I just realized the reason for that is my left foot stayed flat throughout the backswing. I can’t wait to try this on the course. I can feel a huge difference just pretending to swing in my house.
great video and explanation. It's amazing how flexible some players are and how far back they can get that left arm. like you I can get my left hand back to my shoulder and then it's all hips and shoulders to get it back further. I liked your break down of the components…nice job!
Great exercise. I never get to the top. Til now!
Thanks Clay that was very Helpful!!
So, I watched the anti-roll video, rather as much as I could. I would like to actually learn this move but the amount of testimonials were a little overboard. Is there an actual link I could use to bypass the extended sales pitch? No disrespect intended, just take my money and give me the video lesson. Thanks.
One of the most important golf lesson I have watched in the last decade, utterly important to me, thanks a lot Clay 👍😉!
It feels terrible keeping the arm straight and inhibits a good natural back swing so why on earth is this even a thing? I don’t get why you want this ridiculous straight arm which feels horrible
The late PGA Tour Pro, Calvin Peete could not hold his arm straight. As the result of a Childhood tree climbing accident/injury, Calvin Peete's left-arm was permanently bent and so he was physically unable to straighten his left-arm. However, Peete is considered one of the best ball strikers in his era. Mr Peete lead the PGA Tour in driving accuracy for 10 consecutive years, hitting more than 80 percent of fairways from 1981-90. Mr. Peete also hit the ball out of bounds exactly once in 26 pro seasons. Peete’s tee shots were a lot straighter than his left arm. Peete was one of the top players of his era – he won 12 times, including the Players Championship in 1985 — despite a left arm left permanently bent by a childhood tree-climbing accident.
This is one of the best youtube lessons I've ever watched, with no equivocation.
The content and level of detail in this video is superb. Could you or do you also have a video with this much detail on keeping the left arm extended coming into impact and beyond?
