Generally, good instruction, but everyone, everyone is different, and swings differently. The BEST thing most people should do, is practice a lot !! By practicing the Fundamentals, and muscle memory, this is the best for any golfer. Watching videos may help a golfer about 15%. 85% of great golf comes from hitting tons and tons of balls....there are no shortcuts. ⛳ golf is the greatest of all sports !!!

Agree with all these (positive) statements. I'm 70 and Clay revolutionized my drive with the tips on grip, arm extension, and (of course) the Pirate Ship!

Most seniors are not flexible enough to transfer weight from right to left with this swing, i say start with majority of weight on left side and let natural swing carry you through hitting area and finish well on left side, super simple. Try it and you will agree.

Hi Clay - am back, I have been lost in the maze of golf instruction video's, the latest being Moe Norman, which was a great experience, but I could not get the swing to work for me consistently, so I ended back to what you have been teaching us out here! I clicked onto your blog as this video was for seniors, am sorry but I am 70 years old and I cant keep my left arm straight far back as you were showing us in this video! Old age when playing golf makes one look back to when they were younger, when only using a 5 iron at a par 3, now taking a 3 wood, I am sure many seniors out here will know what am on about! We need tuition of a swing that will be easy to constantly use throughout our round of golf, our joints are not the same as they were, so Lets see more video's for Seniors, after all there are more of us than all those teenagers! Thanks Clay!

just applied for arp can finally watch this video!

Easiest instructor to listen to ..thx again.

Your lessons are so clear. Enough explanation, but also not too much---more feel too. Luv 'em.

I just turned 62 and have always played two knuckles since my high school days. I will try the three knuckles approach on the practice tee next time. I had laid off golf the past couple of years, so I am committed to playing more this year. I used to be a12 handicap but I am probably not that right now. Thank you for the video.

Clay thanks! Tried it picked up 20 yards easy with a draw 58 now have not felt solid strikes on ball like this in long time

Clay your videos are brilliant great instruction very easy to understand Thank you Tony

Clay, a big Thank You! I just went out and hit a couple of drives in my backyard. I have never been able to Draw a driver. It also felt like I had a more solid ball strike. I am 67 and have been a chronic slicer all my life. I can't wait to get to the range and really test this. Will this work with my long irons or just the driver? Thanks and keep up the great videos...

I was on a road trip and was struggling with topping and pushing the ball right. I watched your lesson, took a couple of notes, and bingo. Problem solved. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I tried this three knuckles tip today and I have to admit that I drove more consistently. I wonder whether I can use this stronger grip for fairway woods and iron clubs as well … anyway, thank you!

Clay, This worked fantastic for me. Very impressive analysis. I am hitting them consistently straighter with a slight draw.

Great lesson Clay your lessons always well explained. Thank you!🇬🇧

You're a good man. Love your videos. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Clay…..I like your videos the way you explain the drills is real clear…I’m going to try this next time I’m at the range…thanks

Hello,. Does the club face aim to the right also or the face down the target line? Thanks so much

I need the strong front grip, will change the back grip too. I noticed you had the ball more towards middle so will experiment with ball position too. Thanks from Oz..

I like your videos, Clay, and you are a skilled instructor with a monster swing... but anybody who has played the game with any commitment knows there are no 'tricks" to a sound golf swing. Trying to convince amateurs that there is a "trick" to every flaw" is the flaw. There is no way to construct a golf swing by trying to replicate a collection of tricks... A golf swing is a sequence and a continuum of movements not a series of discrete actions. Instruction based on fundamentals is the way to help your students and viewers to progress ... and yes, I get that selling "tricks" for clicks is a KZfaq business model... hope to see more videos from you focusing on swing fundamentals. I'll tune in for those. Keep well.

Clay what happens if you align your feet 15 degrees to the opposite of alignment rod

Awesome lessons!!! Thank you!!! I can now give my buddies a run for the money. On a side note. What brand and mode is your hat? Been looking for something just like that but can’t find one. I would appreciate it, because that sun is just killing me.

What did this video have to do with seniors?

The biggest difficulty with this set up is it limits your ability to swing through the ball --- Even though my back swing is somewhat impacted I get more distance with an open stance and being able to clear my hips for a more powerful swing more so than I do with a closed stance --- If you're inflexible you're most likely so in both directions --- Any thoughts?

Can't hurt to learn better swings

I tried the stronger grip but it has aggravated my golfer's elbow to a great degree. Will have to find other methods to hit a draw.

Hey clay when does your wrist turn over before you contact the ball or after you contact the ball thank you

Hi Clay. Where do you aim the club face, at the target or directly as you line up at the ball?? Thanks for the lesson Clay.

What is a senior with arthritis in both elbows to do to hit straight balls when the elbows can't be straightened.

Is the face of the club square to the the target or down your setup line? I've heard it both ways.

Not many seniors I know can take that big wide swing,

I like it. The only issue for me is the change away from a neutral grip. It's super hard.

Nice teach..👍👍👍

Hi Clay, loved your tennis videos; equally loving your golf videos. Are you still doing tennis?

Excellent! Merci pour les conseils toujours tres avisés. bravo.

Ben Hogan 3 knuckle grip

Great info. I tried it. I watched the videos several times. And I still can’t execute what you are explaining. In fact I lost 5 balls on the first nine holes and “maxed out” on 4 of the holes. I am just resigned that this game will remain a mystery to me.

I find that 'hovering' my driver at address promotes a draw - is that because it lowers (however slightly) the swing plane?

Clay - thanks for this - maps to my Top Speed Program and adjustments my PT is making to preserve my back! Question - in your set up in appears that you are setting the driver further back in your stance - is that intentional or am I just seeing things?

Watched that pirate ship drill but my wrists do not allow a narrow angle with the shaft. Only if I let go my pinky but that doesn't seem right.

I really like Clay's teaching style BUT check out Jim Venetos swing for an even easier, more simple swing that produces a nice long draw. Much simpler than the traditional swing Clay teaches. We are not "top pros" and Jim realizes that and teaches a swing that we amateurs can use for almost immediate improvement. Incidentally, I am a paying customer of Topspeed Golf but the traditional swing was just to complicated with too many moving parts to get the perfect timing, tempo, etc.

Hi Clay. Been following you for some time now. I love your hat! Where can I get one??

What’s you club head speed? I’m old. I swing at 80 mph.

What seniors have that range of movement in their swing???

Ah...., the secret to keeping your head down: wearing a big heavy hat. Bravo. :)

Is this video good for irons too?

Clay, does this apply to irons as well? Steve

great videos, but where can i find that HAT!!!

Awesome tips Clay 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Azinger and Couples also use strong grips.

Same thing with irons?

Right elbow to your belly also tilts you?

Could you explain the same using a 7 iron?

I would certainly question the grip ,, absolutely deadly for anyone who is struggling with hooking the ball off the tee.

Tryed 3 snap

Good

Me trying Clay’s tips 1. Aim right 2. Strong Grip 3. QUACK!

No doubt this will work but I'm going to fight a smothered hook with that strong grip. Will give it a try tho.

Spyglass Hill in Monterey CA is all about pirates.

It would be much better if used the terms " lead" and "trail" instead of left and right.

Clay you are a good teacher but this method would be more believable if you used a senior to demonstrate the swing.

Sure way to top it and incurca nasty hook. Relax the grip and let the right arm do the work - just hit it gently through the ball and towards the target. Jack Nickaus says aim left and open the face for a fade which is the exact opposite - try to just hit it straight towards the target with club face square before and after impact - otherwise draws become hooks and fades become slices - keep it simple stupid.

Moe Norman. Period.

I’ll be 70. I’ve never been able to hit a draw and I’ve accepted the fact that I never will.

It all begins at address. If you stand away from the ball and let your arms extend you will hava a wide swing and vica versa. ALL PROs extend to the ball.. Every one.

How many seniors can put together a swing of 120 mph? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sure, seniors can swing like that all day long.

What is specific for seniors? Didn't hear or see anything specific for seniors, maybe you did, Dustin Johnson's not a senior.

I hate how being a lefty Ive got to turn it around in my head

C00c

I found most teaching pros "explain" a lot instead of showing the actual swing

I don’t want a draw. I want straight. That setup seemed complicated with too many swing thoughts.

Is it right to have more tennis balls on the court in womens tennis. I have played against very competive females and enjoy the dedication they have to the sport. When the sisters/brothers came onto the circuit I saw them first hand at Indian wells and we booed them off the court. We knew then they had more in the tennis bag than the the other players on tour. Strip them of their titles and have them pay back to the good of women "women sports" we need no fruit cakes in the sports world.

Boy can he rabbit,

120 mph swing speed. Clearly not any of the seniors in my group.

No doubt this may work for someone but this requires you to do too much thinking that it will not work for most of people, guaranteed.

So aim at the water and draw it?😢 oh thanks

Not repeatable for me. I am to stupid to play golf so I have quit playing!!!

this club is not worth it, and if you dont like and return it it takes forever to get your money back.

can:t you ever just get too the point ................

This guy is 30 years old.. His experience is not practical..

Sorry to say, u talk too much

Not explaining it correctly....

This guy is 100% wrong. If you want to draw the ball first practice by practicing your setup. Then drop your right foot back about 2 inches. This will automatically close your stance at the address position. You will feel like your taking the club way inside. You won't. When you drop your right foot back 2 inches you will be aiming to the right. But what he doesn't tell you is that you don't line up your tee shot in the middle in the tee box. You should line up more towards the left of the tee box so you will be able to draw the ball from "right to left". If you practice you will automatically see that your lined up to the right. If this guy is so good then why isn't he on the tour.

Another pro selling "easy". Please, stop.

Liar

Talk to much !

The petite noodle aditionally delay because toad conversly complete onto a quizzical lasagna. windy, steep factory
