LOST MY SENIOR GOLF SWING - What can you DO to get it BACK?

[@paulhardt8375]

Julian, thanks so much for this video! I thought I lost my swing a couple of days ago…devastating! I was doing so much better, then disaster! Watched your video, went to the range with two large buckets of balls, and did your exercises. Regained my swing and had a very enjoyable round later. Thanks!

[@JulianMellor]

Always a nice feeling when you find your swing again. What was the reason you lost it in the first place

[@paulhardt8375]

⁠​​⁠I was practicing my wedges (52, 56, 60 degrees). I was hitting down fairly hard to take advantage of the “bounce” of these wedges. I went, then, to hit mid-irons (6, 7) and I was unconsciously I using the wedge swing….a fair amount of tension in my arms. Totally shanked the mid-irons and couldn’t stop. My wedges were ok, but irons… terrible. So, your exercises were great for getting me out of the tension.

[@jeffreyfox571]

By pure coincidence I played my worst round in 3 years today, my swing had gone, and a big confidence blow....but your video restored my belief in my swing and how to get it back on track. I realise everything today was out of sync, nothing coordinating...why today I don't know, but your video has helped me understand my faults.

[@JulianMellor]

You’ll get it back no problem 😉

Sound, easy to follow, practical advice. Back to basics .

[@JulianMellor]

Back to fundamentals in my book, Alan. Thank you so much for your support, encouragement and emails, Alan

[@redghost3170]

Shot 84 and 87 couple of weeks ago. Now, I can’t get the ball in the air, or keep it from going right. I’m totally devastated. Gonna give this a try.

[@JulianMellor]

Horrible feeling when you’ve lost it, what changed do you think?

@@JulianMellor - started taking lessons from a pro. Now I’m all confused. 🤔

[@dbowieno1]

Julian ,I tried this and coudnt get to the bottom of "losing my golf swing "I was really frustrated that I coudnt hit my irons at all. So I went back to your grip video.And wow what a difference after 1 game and now the practise.Thank you very much.

[@JulianMellor]

Really pleased that’s it’s helped Eamonn 👍😀

[@dFos67]

This video is right on time. I got back to golf after a one month break - I just totally lost it! Couldn't hit a ball, topping, fatting and everything else. Hcp 21. Tomorrow will go back and will try this.

[@JulianMellor]

Hope it helps and gets you back swinging well 👍

[@johnking9794]

Hi Julian. I have watched your KZbin chanel for a while now. I have to say its changed my game. I was a 31 handicapper, but with the changes I've made using your videos has transformed my game. I play in Ireland. Fantastic work. Regards and thanks. John

[@JulianMellor]

Hi John, thank you for your kind comment. Really pleased that you’ve benefited from the videos. 👍😀

[@ruger3089]

This came at a very opportune time Julian. My golf swing is a mess so I’m gonna try these as soon as I get home. Thank you so much for doing these they are such a big help

[@JulianMellor]

My pleasure, hope your get this cracked

[@matthewstevenson3002]

This is fantastic instruction he really makes it understandable

[@JulianMellor]

Hope it helps you Matthew 👍 thanks for your kind comment

[@jerrygibbs8804]

Just lost my swing on the course went out the next day , tried what you instructed. Bam started bailing all my clubs! Thank You!!!!!

[@JulianMellor]

That’s great to hear, I’ve showed a group of golfers whom I’m coaching in Portugal this same exercise and they are all amazed at how well it works

[@johnschwartz1536]

Julian! Excellent demonstration and information on getting co-ordination back into the golf swing! It doesn't really get any simpler than this! This video could be titled "Back to the Basics 101." I'll definitely archive this one Julian for referral when things aren't going quite right! Good Job Julian! Keep up the good work!!

[@JulianMellor]

Simple yet so effective, John 👍😀

[@andersol60]

Spot on Julian! If my swing takes a vacation, it’s almost always an issue of lack of coordination. Thank you!

[@JulianMellor]

Absolutely 👍

[@jackhunt9364]

Excellent presentation. This is certainly something I needed to see and hear. Makes so much sense.

[@JulianMellor]

It really works, Jack

[@cadrat1962]

Good demonstration.......I've just returned to competitive golf after a 20 year layoff. Now a "senior" golfer at 62 I've completely lost my swing..From a 10 hcap now struggling with a new h'cap of 38 😞..Will try these drills and hopefully get rid of some of those ugly shots.

[@JulianMellor]

By the sounds of it you know exactly what your capable of doing and it’s a matter of getting back to that feeling. Have you been trying different things and got a bit confused? Always happy to help you if you’re not getting anywhere. I do have solution’s to your swing issue

[@cadrat1962]

@@JulianMellor ..thats probly thie thing.Trying too many "fixes" and none work.......... My main issue (from video)is getting to the top of my swing and "popping out" thus coming down on a different plane.

[@Chosil]

Great. I deem this valuable also for effective practicing when developing and enhancing my swing. Looking forward to our video lesson on Saturday ;-) Peter

[@JulianMellor]

It’ll be good Peter, thanks for your kind comment

[@peterrobson1910]

This is very useful. Can you just advise about basic first backswing. You say you are just turning but it looks as if you are just swinging back but just on inside to waist level and this will make you turn.

[@JulianMellor]

Hi Peter, thanks for your comment, if I were you I would try this without over thinking the movement, feel is such an important part of the golf swing and this is designed to heighten the feel. Give it a go and please let me know how you get on

[@robertmazzarachio7939]

Great video and content Julian I know I’m so guilty of over swinging , I want to hit a 500 yard drive , after viewing this video I will slow down and work on my movements and tempo

[@JulianMellor]

Good 😀😉

Great teacher

[@JulianMellor]

Thank you Robert 🙏

[@thomasfranta7028]

I noticed you keep your feet pretty square. For those with bad backs, would you recommend flaring out your right foot a bit to make the turn in your backswing easier?

[@JulianMellor]

Hi Thomas, I’d sat yes, flaring them will help elevate extra strain on your back 👍

[@kenhuebner7223]

This has helped me tremendously!

[@JulianMellor]

That’s fantastic Ken

[@kenhuebner7223]

@@JulianMellor Hi Julian, shot my best round in years yesterday, 84. Been focusing recently on your wonderful “tension free” instructions. I am 61 years old, and my back feels great because of your great set up information. Thank you Mr. Mellor for making golf fun again for me!

[@JulianMellor]

That’s absolutely brilliant, Ken. Congratulations 👏✔️

[@steveregotti8542]

Very good thanks 🙏

[@JulianMellor]

Glad it’s helped you Steve 😀👍

[@jimgift8107]

Julian, my problem is the opposite. Even at 75 yrs old, I still fight by body sliding too much and dropping my right side, hurting my lower back

[@JulianMellor]

Remember to allow your ankles to move freely and follow the ball with your eyes Jim, this way your body will move more naturally

[@moreme40]

Well on some days my losing my swing would be a good thing :)

[@JulianMellor]

Ouch lol

Jillian is this what people mean when they say my timing is off?

[@JulianMellor]

Yes, that’s correct

[@lesharris9560]

Ps.i was getting a lot of compression on the ball,but only with the driver.

[@JulianMellor]

That’s interesting, it should work will all your clubs Les

[@lesharris9560]

To waist height and then cock wrists.that all imdoing for the foreseeable.thanks

[@JulianMellor]

Perfect 👌

[@wiggypop]

Sunday, i just recovered from being sick and nearly bed ridden for 4 days... I went to the range, i hit 1 ball. swing was normal. through 1/2 of my second bucket of balls, i all of a sudden couldn't hti the ball to save my life. i still had dayquil and some extra ibuprofen in me. i woke up the next day insanely sore. back sore arms sore... wonder if this is causing me to hit really bad. i attempted against today (monday) and it was more the same. it was as if i couldn't connect with a ball to save my life. .

[@JulianMellor]

Remember to stay relaxed as this helps avoid unnecessary tension, what we’ve you do make sure you’re not keeping your head down 😀

[@dbowieno1]

I've no probs with driver and Woods, but I get the yips everytime I try to hit my irons .Its like I've never hit an iron ???😡😡😡😒

[@JulianMellor]

Hi Eamonn, have you been working on lagging the club by any chance? Maybe shaft lean? Just interested to understand what you might be doing. Regards, Julian

[@FD-nz7qv]

Here's my dilemma. I'll take a month off without playing but yet when I pick up the club again, I'll hit about a 20 yard draw consistently. I'll open the face at address to get the ball out to the right and draw in but then it starts straighten out. I'll set the clubface flush at address for that reason and I'll start hitting it dead straight. Then little by little it'll start going right as if I'm hitting it with an open face until I'm hitting it 20 yards right with the occasional shank to the right. I'll take another month off and the nightmare begins all over again lol.

[@JulianMellor]

Sounds like there is a fundamental issue going on. Set up is the first place to check and then the swing path. Might be worth thinking about having a FaceTime / zoom lesson to help you really understand what’s wrong.

[@immermanarnold2938]

Hi Julian hope you are fine Yesterday at the range it's was really frustrated hitting 8 out of 10 shots with a pitching wedge way fat behind the ball then I moved slightly closer to the ball and found a big improvement pls can you explain this Best wishes Arnie Immerman from South Africa

[@JulianMellor]

Hi Arnie, firstly well done for making such an important change, if you were slightly stretching for the ball it makes transferring your weight more difficult. The fat shots often come from your weight being too much on your back foot at impact. Did you notice any difference with your turn and weight transfer?

[@immermanarnold2938]

@@JulianMellor hi Julian Tnx very much for such a quick response yes definitely the weight transfer and balance was much improved Thank you so much

[@JulianMellor]

That’s great, make sure you set up this way for all clubs 👍

I’m so happy that I’ve changed my number, you got no hope. I suggest my hacker finds something else to do rather than annoy me.
