    Thank you Julian for making this video as I’m a stroke survivor who’s hemiphelgic and lost the use of my left side and arm of my body to paralysis and as I used to be a competitive rugby player I’m so desperate to play at least one sport again and this video has given me so much hope that at the very least playing golf again may be a strong possibility so thanks again Julian Mellor🙏🏽😘🏌🏾‍♂️⛳️

    I’ve been having difficulties for the past two seasons with my fairway woods and driver. As a one handed golfer seeking to get consistency, I have sought the help of many coaches. Regrettably they have only succeeded in destroying what was an adequate swing! To correct these taught errors I’ve invested in all sorts of new equipment to no avail.
    I’ve watched Julians video and was surprised at his ability to understand and demonstrate the swing. I took his examples to the course yesterday for the first time. My two playing partners expected the same game as last week! However, shot after shot was improving with the. modified swing that Julian has shown.
    I on a 400 yd par four normally hit 5 to get to the green. Yesterday I was was at the green in two, the fairway wood got the flight and bounce I’d never had for two years!!
    Suffice to say my partners were speechless at the improvement in my overall play, but more importantly I reduced my round yesterday by 16 strokes. Julian has revolutionised my game and confidence.
    Thank you Julian you achieved in your video what 5 pga professionals and a national golf coach didn’t achieve? You’ve taken time to understand the dynamics of playing golf one handed.

    What an amazing commitment to help every type of golfer. You should be extremely proud of yourself. I got a lot from this video as a two handed golfer. Nobody ever talks about how much the left or right hand is dominant or not in the golf swing but by seeing you demonstrate the way to play if you only have one hand or arm available I can see that however you get the club down to the point of impact with the ball it is the relaxed swing method you have taught that produces the result- the same easy swing method. Excellent instruction and motivation. Thank you so much.

    I tried playing one handed today. The course just opened as I got the cast of my fracture wrist and schaphoid after 7 weeks. Did ok on the par 3 course. Going out on the 18 hole course tomorrow, and is definitely going to try this. I think my main problem was trying to keep my arm straight. It didn’t feel right, and everything was tensing up. Also, I didn’t know what to do with my other arm. I kind of just let it swing in the same direction as my good arm. Can’t wait.

    • @Kaizer17
      @Kaizer17 4 роки тому

      So I went out today. Tried bending my arm more and kept my left arm behind my back. Had some terrible shots, but alot of decent ones and a few very good ones. Toed a few, thinned a few, some were too deep. I was afraid the driver was going to be to much of a handfull, since I struggle with it using two hands. I slice a lot... But a couple of times I ended up places that I would have been happy with under normal cirumstances. Sure, they were far from perfect and not very high and I did get a fair amount off roll thanks to the now dry fairways. And they were straight! Haven’t seen that in a while. Sadly, those were the holes where the following shots were bad, and I ended up with 0 points. But hey, you can’t take the good shots away from me. Just shows there is potential. Even got a par on a dogleg right par 4. 9 holes - 10 points; 50 shots.

    Fantastic Julian! This is a great drill for even a healthy two handed golfer. I takes a very smooth, tension free swing to hit it with only one hand.

I also struggled as a right handed golfer to hit it well with the left hand. Thanks for this great video.

    Julian, thank you for the one arm golf swing. I'm a right handed golfer who's been pulling/hooking my shots, because of right arm dominance. Unfortunately, l experienced a right arm bicep tear recently. I just accompanied my wife while she golfed, and decided to try your one arm method. So using my left arm, I did some chipping and to my surprise, my chipping was superior to my normal chips. No tees either. However, I'm looking forward to my recovery, and your tip will most likely help by tempering my right arm dominance. Thanks again. Dick

      Julian, I once again tried to hit with one hand, and now it seems I either top it and goes left or I hit behind the ball. This is the same issue had before when I used both hands. I thought my right hand had taken over the swing, but it may not be the case. Something else is bugging my swing. I will try to continue the one handed swing, while hopefully my right bicep will heal quickly and I can go back to the two handed swing that hopefully gets corrected. Thank you Julian.

    I lost my left arm few years ago and recently picked up the game. This gave me so much encouragement starting on. I started off topping the ball and slicing it right. I worked on my swing in the 9 times I’ve played 18 and I’m getting straighter but I’m only hitting about 185yds with driver. Average 120 a round and my best is 116. Best 9 is 54 I was recently told that I should consider playing left handed. Could you please make more one handed content this is by far the best advice on the web to play 1 handed.

    @Weltbummler23 19 днів тому

    Id use a different approach. Rather than taking a full backswing, focus on a small backswing maybe taking the club 2ft back and getting good hip rotation, weight transfer, lag and shaft lean going, then work your way up to a full swing. Even with a 2ft backswing you still should be able to hit the PW 85 ft. I just did it today. Doing a full backswing is way too complex to get started with one hand.
