How to SWING a Golf Club Properly EVERY TIME for SENIOR GOLFERS

In this video, I am going to show you how to build a golf swing from the ground up. Much like building a house, if the foundations are poor, the house falls down. In golf, if your setup is poor, you’ve no chance of making a consistent golf swing.
The setup consists of a good grip, the correct width of the stance, the correct position in relation to your feet, correct body alignment, and correct posture. In this video, I show you a simple technique to help you become very efficient at setting up to the golf ball correctly.
The golf swing requires two things to work in harmony with each other. One is the body movement, and the second is the movement of the golf club. I will show you how to move your body efficiently and how to simplify the movement of the arms, wrists, and golf club.
As you can see from this video, doing things the right way will literally change your game. Quick fixes work for a while, but fundamental changes require structure and a clear understanding.

Your advice and swing method is probably the best, clearest and most attainable for the average golfer that I have ever seen on You Tube. I have tried many methods and this by far is the most body friendly and most graceful method out there. But does it work? Absolutely! Well done and try not letting the more caustic among us deter you. They are, in the end, only hurting themselves. You method is solid, true and attainable by just about anyone from what I can see. Keep up the amazing and clear teaching Julian. Todd - BC Canada.

[@JulianMellor]

Thank you for your wonderful and thoughtful comment Todd. The modern golf swing while powerful is by far the best method for the majority of people who play golf. I’m currently running a coaching trip abroad and I’m getting my students to look around and comment on what they see others doing and without exception they are all saying that the make the swing look to difficult. At some point golfers will recognise that there is an easier and more efficient way to swing the club. Thank you for highlighting your thoughts 👍💯

[@JulianMellor]

I get a lot of negative comments about some of the videos I produce because they challenge the norm. I take most of them on the chin but when people accuse me of profiteering from the content I make then that upsets me. I have literally driven thousands of miles over the years, made and deleted hundreds of hours of content because of outside influences, helped hundreds of thousands of golfers over the years with the information I’ve shared and I’d like to think I’ve done this with the best interests at heart. I have no issues if you disagree with me but there is no reason to be unkind. When you put yourself out there you are open to criticism but that’s no reason to be unkind. I have never written a post like this before but I ask you to be aware of what you write and what you say before you say it. If you have an issue why not email me or pick up the phone? Yours truly, Julian

Again right on tee, target, point, etc I have yet to see a video I could not use and re-use and re-use just to reaffirm what I am doing on the course. Best coach world wide.

[@JulianMellor]

That’s kind Robb, there are many great coaches out there but some make it seem more difficult than it needs to be 👍

[@Jocameronuk]

That’s a lovely thing to say

[@peteg8920]

Makes everything look really easy. The tip about throwing is great , though I still find it hard to get rid of flipping in the down swing. Ought to be something simple but I just cannot work it out.

[@JulianMellor]

Everything is fixable Pete, that’s for sure 👍

[@user-fh2rk9jn9s]

As I follower of Manuel de la Torre, your swing is very close to Manuel's swing. Simple and effective. Manuel said that when a golfer puts a club in his hands he loses all common sense? Great job.

[@JulianMellor]

Thank you for your kind words, feel like puffing my chest out lol. Hope you are well and enjoying your golf.

[@richardc6932]

Actually,Julian’s swing is a carbon copy of the “Easiest Swing” method taught by Brian Sparks. Julian has not only taught Brian’s method over the years but has expanded his instruction to include a variety of videos on many of the issues we as senior golfers face as they enjoy the sport. His instructional videos are a worthwhile watch for beginner to accomplished golfer. I have taken various instructions over the years but once I started using Julian’s / Brian’s method, I have seen an improvement in my game and scores.

[@japice1]

Julian, excellent video. I've watched your videos in the past but this was definitely good. Thank you.

[@JulianMellor]

My pleasure, Joe

[@rodlin6905]

The last tip regarding the eyes is something I need to focus on. Follow through is very important I know, but trying to achieve it is for me extremely difficult. All great tips. Not too much info which is a bonus.

0:35 Good afternoon Julian. I’m coming to you from Montreal, Canada. I’ve now been following you in your videos and contemplating subscribing to your Proper Golfing web page. After watching many of your videos, I've come to the conclusion that your teaching methodology is the right one for me. I have a rather lengthy question on this video but I’m not sure if I need to be a member first. Again thanks for sharing your expertise in teaching the game.

[@JulianMellor]

[@markl577]

Fantastic video Julian, very helpful & much needed. Great point regarding the eyes & rotating with the shoulders. When over the ball do you look at any particular part of it or is it an unconscious action. Thanks again. 👍🏻

[@JulianMellor]

Thanks Mark. I never focus on the ball, it simply gets in the way of the swing. I became aware of this by hitting lots of shots with my eyes closed. Fascinating way to practice and become aware of things 👍

[@soulgalorememories9921]

I practice your swing often and it feels so nice and easy - unfortunately - a ball gets in the way and it all goes pear shaped. I’m a 70 year old man returning to golf after many years. Occasionally, I hit some almost perfect shots with both driver and irons and I think I’ve cracked it, sadly, this is more a case of luck or it all coming together properly(no idea why though). The other day I got on the range and one of the instructors was giving me all kinds of advice that confused me even more…..but my aim is to make things as simple as possible and leave all the complicated stuff to younger, more able golfers. Whenever I see your videos - I feel deep down that I can do this….but it is the ball striking that I cannot quite conquer using this method.

[@JulianMellor]

Thanks for the kind comment. Sounds like you are perfect for the type of golfer I love to help. We are working on a transformation program here at www.propergolfing.com would you like me to email you some details as soon as it’s complete? Should only be a week or so. I know I’ll be able to help you achieve your swing goals that’s for sure

[@seldon750]

Hello Julian. I live in Nova Scotia Canada. I ran across your instructions on KZbin and I'm glad I did. I especially like your on course tips. I have been following Paul Wilson here and I find his swing his very similar to yours powerless arms and loose wrists.

[@JulianMellor]

Thank you, I like what Paul has to say. I have a lot of members of www.Propergolfing.com in Canada who are really improving their golf by following the instructional videos in the coaching library 👍😀

[@peteg8920]

Yes , amazing how such a simple explanation as a natural throwing action can make the golfswing so much more of an easier, more powerful swing.

[@bprause7340]

Julian. Love how simply you communicate the golf swing. Especially value the checkpoints you provide. For me, it’s so easy to overthink and over adjust. Do you align the ball (not for driver) in the middle or just about where the logo is on your shirt (slightly forward)? Thanks for all you do!

[@JulianMellor]

My pleasure, more in the middle and as the tee get higher then move it forward 👍

[@thomasfraser9072]

Hi Julian excellent video: The perfect basics for beginners and everyone of us who comes spring time might need to review; since as Ben Hogan said the correct set up is 90 percent of the golf swing. Although I am not sure I would show the vertical downswing casting move to beginners or anyone for that matter since the golf swing is actually a looping of the club head at the transitional part of the swing Once in their golf posture i like to demonstrate and help golfers do a one time clockwise baton trail of the handle which immediately bring of the club head back to their ball. The Twirl Waggle Why? Because in any great golf swing there actually is no backswing and there is no downswing. For the right handed player The best achieved golf swing is one complete continuous clockwise baton twirl of the handle along with the continuous rotating of the body back and forth to the full completion of the swing. Would you agree? Watch every great golfer and you will see their body rotating from side to side with their hands holding on to their club one hundred percent of the time from the very start of their swing to their finish. Your la dance routine is also the perfect progressive continuous rotating movement of the body back and forth. However stopping la dance rotation at any time and or loosing the handle at any time; the golfer lost their swing Cheers 👍😃⛳️🥂❤️

[@JulianMellor]

Some great points there Thomas, it’s very easy to compare golf swings with elite golfers but some golfers need to just make contact with the ball and have no understanding of a golf swing. I help a lot of beginner golfers and the easier I can explain things and help them get a simple shape of a swing enables them to enjoy the game and go on to refine their techniques. Also remember it’s not a vertical swing when the spine angle is introduced. It’s just a concept to help golfers make a simple wrist movement. All good stuff though 👍😀💯
