Want More Clubhead Speed? Start With Your Lower Body 🔥
Clay Ballard from Top Speed Golf demonstrates how initiating the downswing with lower body rotation creates effortless clubhead speed and lag. By shifting the belt buckle targetward while keeping the hands and shoulders back, golfers create a stretch-shortening effect that releases powerful energy through impact.
Start the downswing by shifting and unwinding your lower body/belt buckle before moving your hands or club.
Keep your shoulders back and hands up as the hips turn to create a rubber-band stretch effect.
Correct lower-body sequencing creates natural lag and shallowing without needing to force positions with the hands.
Push back off the lead foot through impact to unleash full compression and clubhead speed.
