That was an awesome lesson. Steve and I are so similar skill-wise. Please video more of Steve's lessons so we can witness his progress and encourage each other. Thank you!
More videos like this would be most helpful! Seeing other people learn with your teaching, helps SO MUCH more! I would encourage you to film more of these type of videos. I am new to your site as I was led here from watching Easiest Swing site. I like your approach as it is similar but with more detail and context. Keep it up!
Thank you, one of the reasons I left Easiest Swing is because it lacked certain things that are really important, the training library here at ProperGolfing is immense
thank you Julian I absolutely enjoyed the coaching lesson, this was my second and I'm looking forward to the next, I am practicing more and more now, the coaching has encouraged me to want to play more, yes I still hit duff shots but I am more relaxed in my swing and feel I'm getting better and my confidence has increased as well, Steve.
Hi Julian you may remember me commenting on various videos you have made in the past but I really think that the content of this video and instruction is the way forward in Mho for proper golfing , particularly for me who struggles to finish my swing due to keeping my head down to long .I,ve watched hundreds of various videos but this one brought home to me why my bad shots are going left as my club is closed at impact. Thanks for sharing .
I do remember you and thanks for your comments, really pleased that you’ve benefited from watching this video. You’ve just got to Make sure you do it whilst playing now, Stephen 👍
Brilliant. I like the idea of finding your own natural swing. Being natural surely improves consistency as it easier to reproduce. And I find slowing everything down improves my striking of the ball. And without losing much distance,if any. Thanks.
I've been working on the same two things to get a better angle of attack and stop hard hooks to the left. It takes time but it will improve both the direction and distance.
I really like the 'Throwing actions' with the club over the rear shoulder and the coordinated swing. I would love to see two videos, one on once the club is thrown over the rear shoulder in the backswing, how to take it down and collect the ball (what movements are needed to keep it on plane. And the other video on working on the coordinated swing. I really liked the tip of moving the torso forward and getting the weight shift and how that squares up the club. I am having difficulty of stopping way to short in the down swing as I continue to fight "hitting the ball"! Are there drills to improve the body club coordination through the swing?
Well done Steve!!! What a swing!!! Looks like a pro!!!! Looking forward to Saturdays coaching Julian. Stefan's progress at Stoneleigh yesterday was amazing, absolutely ripping it!!!
Julian, I have been using your method for quite a while now, today I had a terrific practice until I went from driver to wedge, I immediately started to shank. I have lived with this for years. I do have an inside take away issue. Can you help me with this transition? Tom in Ocala FL.
Hi Tom, Everything is fixable that’s for sure. Not sure there’s a worse feeling than shanking. I’d be happy to work with you and help you get back on track 👍
What percentage of new golfers show up with such a flat swing path? (My wife recently has). Amazing diagnosis, regardless. Who would guess that turning away from the ball earlier (at least the shoulders) would lead to better contact and better club-face control?? Still kinda skeptical that such a cure will work for this guy who constantly has to fight being too steep, though less tension would certainly be nice. :-) It shall be tested here shortly. :-)
@@JulianMellor Thank you! Going to bore you with all the details. :-) We first tried the change with my wife, as she also had that "restricted" look. She immediately began hitting "toe shanks". We knew that because of this cool, light green colored mat insert that shows your "divots" on our GoSports mat on the lanai. *And*, the divots were coming very much from the "inside". After pondering it a bit, we wondered what would happen if the ball position were moved "up" in her stance, as a continuation of that "early, inside divot" might then have a chance of reaching the ball. It did, and she began striping them consistently. Coincidentally, when I'd been to able flatten my own downswing recently, I got that exact same pattern of divot shape and toe shanks or even whiffs, and gave up on the swing change. Seeing her success, I gave it a go, myself. Moved the ball well up in my stance and allowed myself to open my shoulders much earlier. Same striping results. :-) Thank you for setting us on a different path. Hope I *never* move even a short iron back near the middle of my stance, again. At least half a dozen manipulating swing thoughts suddenly rendered unnecessary. This is a lot more fun. :-)
Awesome as always Julian. This is exactly what high handicap golfers need. Simplified instruction. 👍🇨🇦👨🦳
Agreed, Rich

I’ll see what I can do. Not bad at all considering he’s only been playing 3 months 👍
Great progress Steve.
Julian has the ability to improve your golf without straining your body.
I wish Julian had been my first golf teacher.
I would enjoy coaching you anytime, Alan

Brian is smiling- look at how far you’ve come. Well done!
Indeed, thank you for your kind words

I always find it amazing how things straighten out when the body moves well, Jim
Great video Julian and well done Steve.
Thank you, David. He’s so much progress in such a short time

They are both covered in the training library at ProperGolfing, can’t give everything away for free 😀

Hey that’s brilliant, do you fancy doing a video one day together?
@@JulianMellor That would be amazing!!!!
Cool, if you are free one Friday morning we can make that happen
Fantastic lesson.
Thank you, Diego
