The golf warm up every player needs

In this guide from Clay Ballard at Top Speed Golf, golfers learn how to maximize their pre-round range session using a structured club progression. Starting with short wedges and advancing up to the driver while focusing on shallowing the club, this warm-up routine prepares your swing path for the course without wasting range balls.

• Warm up with intent and clear structure instead of aimlessly hitting range balls.
• Follow a set club progression: 58° wedge, 50° wedge, 8-iron, 5-iron, and driver.
• Focus on controlled swings that shallow the club path early in the routine.
• Use training aids like the Blue Brick to reinforce proper downswing mechanics before hitting the tee.
