THIS was SO EASY to DO - 150 to 173 GAIN in 5 Minutes.

I remember a pro telling me about 30 yrs ago that when at the top of your backswing you should imagine you are carrying a tray of drinks with your right hand. This image puts you in the exact position you are using 😊

[@JulianMellor]

Wise words Nige 👍

[@ulster7717]

You should check out Kendall mc Wade. The golf hammer. Bases his teaching on using the golf club as a hammer.

[@JulianMellor]

I will, thank you. I’ve coached golf for many years now and still get excited when I discover something for myself when it makes such a difference. 👍

Booking coming in for playing lessons, 1-1 short game lessons and 6 month programs. Serious golfers don’t hope they get better they work at their games 👍 If you’d like to start your new journey message me and let’s get started [e-mail]

Julian, are you now using Callaway equipment rather than XX10 equipment which you recommended for seniors?

[@JulianMellor]

No, just for display purposes Peter, I still use XXIO equipment

[@v4du]

You nailed it. Heh. Heh. I’ll be quiet now.

[@JulianMellor]

Very good Bob, 👍 feels so good

[@dubblwide]

Are you hammered?

[@jsilva3386]

Thanks, great video, you guys are hoot! Lol

[@bradfordcotta5925]

That is what Shawn Clement has been demonstrating. He loves his "hammer" drill.

[@JulianMellor]

Shawn is a very experienced coach for sure. Not sure about some of the things he speaks about but if this is what he’s experienced then I’m in total agreement with him 👍

[@davidmcclure781]

Except Clement takes 10x longer to explain it.

[@MartialGolf]

Very nice video. Are you saying that you’re “unloading” the right wrist extension into flexion? Like throwing a baseball?

[@JulianMellor]

Thank you, yes id say that. I wouldn't over think it just get the feeling using a hammer and try to replicate it with a club.

[@MartialGolf]

@@JulianMellor Thank you for responding! Some instructors say that the right angle should be held into and even through impact

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent explanation and demonstration Julian on how to get the right wrist more involved to gain more distance! Although I have been playing this wonderful game for over 67 years, I probably wasn't always using my wrists effectively in my swing. Since becoming a more experienced golfer, I have begun to use my wrists cocking and uncocking as you have suggested in this video. I have definitely noticed a difference when done properly. Good Job Julian! Keep Up The Good Work!

[@JulianMellor]

Thanks John, so nice when you experience something for the first time 👍

Ask him how many times he got my name wrong in the new home page video! That was hilarious. The outside would be fun to share lol

[@louispounds7486]

Hi, new subscriber!! Thanks to posting this video! Would you please share in a video how you get your right wrist into this position from set up to top of backswing?

Yes, when I get some free time

What graphite shaft is in your 8 iron?

Is a stiff XXIO shaft Louis

[@louispounds7486]

@@JulianMellor thank you. I need to get fit for clubs as it seems like a necessary thing to do. I started off great with your first videos but fear I am now over thinking them and hooking the ball like mad (right handed golfer). It’s easier to blame the clubs I bought on eBay than myself. Haha.

[@jpcoll2011]

I absolutely love that thought/feel of that wrist. Down to Matlock on Monday to give it a go ❤❤❤❤❤

It works a treat that’s for sure and with all the clubs in the bag. Enjoy your practice 👍

[@Fitzy1976_]

How many takes for Jo’s questions? Ha. I bet she was a little bit nervous! Excellent tips and of course others have done similar on YT but like most of us we have watched every poxy bit of instruction there is so it’s very hard to create something brand new! Keep up great work

[@JulianMellor]

Thank you Mark. I got to experience this for the first time without being influenced by others. Still staggering how much improved things

@@JulianMellor and your first thought was to share it with us and others and that is the best thing about KZbin and your channel. At 47 I am looking for all the help I can get. Enjoy the season

Thank you Nick, still dumbfounded at how effective it is 👍

[@richardhutton3150]

Hi Julian thank you for another great video,do you think with not a full backswing but near enough I could get 110 or 120 carry with an 8 iron.I am 74 but quite fit.thank you.

[@JulianMellor]

I don’t see why not Richard, keep an eye out for propergolfing over the next 2 months, some exciting changes coming to help senior golfers 👍

[@rogerstanley7906]

Julian, a top Canadian golf teacher on KZbin, also uses a mallet against a door frame to demonstrate the same point. However he insists on the importance of adopting a strong grip. I’d be interested to know your comment to that. Thanks, Roger

[@JulianMellor]

Hi Roger, I’ve tried it with a weak, strong and natural grip and find no extra value in using a strong grip. I’d always recommend trying it though. 👍

[@jsilva3386]

Thanks Julian, that was a great video, you guys are a hoot! Lol

[@Jocameronuk]

We do have some fun making these vids

[@JulianMellor]

Thank you, we are enjoying working together on our new content 👍

[@hi-tech55]

I love this video. I have been a carpenter for over forty years. I can hit a nail in with a hammer from way above my head and usually hit it well. I asked my golf mates why can’t I do it when playing golf? I come to the conclusion, if I play golf naturally, I get better results then trying to do deliberate shoulder and hip turns to hit the ball. Also I believe the body is a reaction to the swing, rather then my body action needs to be in a position to hit the ball. I’m not sure it make sense but that’s my theory. 🤔🤔

[@JulianMellor]

Yes, that makes sense to me. I see no reason why you can’t start striking the ball well if you trust what you are naturally capable of

[@johnkubala2772]

I feel like I am adding loft at impact by scooping with my right hand and hitting high weak shots. Can you do a video about this?

[@JulianMellor]

I’ll make a video on this next week John
