Juju Golf Swing: What It Is and How to Evaluate It
The Juju golf swing is a branded golf-instruction method intended to make the full swing simpler and more repeatable, offered through an online course and coaching with Brad. Its value depends on whether the instruction improves your contact and ball flight, not simply whether the motion feels different. Here’s what you can establish about the technique, how to give it a fair trial, and what the coaching options involve.
What the Juju Golf Swing Is
The program provides full-swing training rather than a standalone tip. Its instruction includes drills, connecting the parts of the motion, and learning how to start the downswing. The intended benefits are cleaner contact, fewer competing swing thoughts, and a motion that is easier to repeat.
That describes the program’s purpose, but it is not a complete technical explanation. The public overview does not provide enough detail to reconstruct its exact grip, takeaway, wrist action, and transition accurately. Those details matter: copying the appearance of a swing without understanding its sequence can produce a different movement altogether.
If you are searching for a golf swing technique, look for instruction that shows both the movement and the drill used to develop it. A promotional swing clip can show what the finished motion looks like; it cannot necessarily show what you need to change to produce it.
Does the Juju Swing Work?
The Juju swing can help a golfer if its cues and drills produce more consistent club delivery. But testimonials about simpler swings and better contact do not establish that the method outperforms other instruction or will improve every golfer.
The golf ball responds to the club’s delivery: where the face points, the direction the club travels, the strike location, and the speed and angle of contact. A teaching system is useful when it helps you control those things more reliably.
Feeling less technical can be valuable, especially if you struggle with too many swing thoughts. Still, an easier-feeling movement needs to earn its place through better shots.
How It Compares With Conventional Golf Instruction
“Traditional golf swing” is a broad comparison, not a single standardized method. Conventional instructors use different drills, movement patterns, and explanations, often adapting them to the golfer.
The meaningful comparison is not one swing approach versus every other golf swing. It is whether the approach is useful to you.
How to Learn and Evaluate the Juju Swing
Treat a new swing system as a controlled learning project, not an immediate replacement for everything you already do. The process below helps you evaluate a swing system without pretending that generic drills are its actual technique.
Use your current situation to choose a sensible starting point.
| Your Situation | Best Starting Point | Main Question to Resolve |
|---|---|---|
| Your swing is playable, but you want fewer swing thoughts | Learn the concept before committing to a rebuild | Does it simplify execution without making your misses worse? |
| You have a persistent contact or directional problem | Get the problem diagnosed before choosing a new system | Does the proposed change address the cause of your miss? |
| You are already learning the system but cannot reproduce the movement | Get feedback on your swing video | Are you performing the intended movement or only copying its appearance? |
Step 1: Establish What You Want to Improve
- Choose a specific problem. “Improve my swing” is too broad. Better goals include reducing heavy iron strikes, controlling a recurring slice, or making your starting direction more predictable.
- Record your current shot pattern. Use a familiar club and a clear target. Note contact quality, starting direction, curvature, and the size of your misses, not just your longest or straightest shot.
- Capture your current motion. Face-on and down-the-line video give you a useful baseline. Keep camera placement consistent when filming later swings.
If you practice into a net, you can assess strike location and review your movement, but you cannot reliably judge the complete flight. A solid-sounding strike may still produce a shot that finishes well away from the target.
Step 2: Learn the Actual Movement Before Adding Speed
- Use a complete instructional demonstration. You need to understand the intended motion, how its parts connect, and the drill used to learn it.
- Identify the immediate change. Be able to explain what you are trying to do differently and what feedback will show that you are doing it.
- Rehearse without a ball. Work at a pace that lets you recognize the movement rather than rushing through an imitation.
- Resolve uncertainty before progressing. If you cannot tell whether your rehearsal matches the instruction, obtain feedback instead of adding compensations.
A cue such as “feel more athletic” may describe a desirable experience, but it does not tell you whether your clubface or transition has changed correctly. Ask for an observable checkpoint as well as a feel.
Step 3: Introduce the Ball Without Chasing Distance
- Start with a familiar iron and a controlled swing. Keep the target and practice conditions reasonably consistent with your baseline.
- Use one clear movement cue. Avoid mixing instruction with unrelated tips that may ask your body or club to do something different.
- Evaluate the whole pattern. Include poor shots in your notes.
- Film the motion again. Check whether adding the ball changed the movement you rehearsed.
Do not use a harder swing to disguise uncertain contact. Once you can perform the intended movement reliably, build toward your normal playing effort.
Stop if a change causes pain. A branded method is not a reason to force an uncomfortable position.
Step 4: Complete a Playing Test
- Take the movement to a setting where you can see full ball flight. Confirm that the contact you liked in practice also produces a useful direction and trajectory.
- Use your normal pre-shot routine on the course. Keep technical rehearsal separate from the act of playing the shot.
- Track the relevant outcome. For a contact problem, note strike quality and distance consistency. For a directional problem, note the starting line, curve, and whether misses remain playable.
- Make a decision from the pattern. Keep developing the change if it is becoming repeatable and addressing your original problem. Get feedback if execution remains unclear; reconsider the change if it consistently worsens your miss.
You do not need to decide that the entire system is good or bad after an awkward practice session. You do need to distinguish a movement you have not yet learned from a movement you can perform but that is not helping.
Juju Swing Course and Coaching Options
Choose instruction according to the feedback you need. Access to lessons and access to a coach are different purchases, and a larger coaching package is not automatically the best starting point.
Self-Paced Course
The self-paced course provides step-by-step instruction and drills; the VIP option includes lifetime access. It is the most relevant option if you want the complete teaching sequence and are comfortable learning independently.
Before purchasing, establish whether you can recognize the required checkpoints in your own video. Being able to replay a lesson is useful, but it does not by itself tell you whether you are performing the movement correctly.
Video Swing Reviews
Video reviews let you submit your swing for Brad’s feedback and then work on the requested changes. This format suits golfers who can practice independently but need help identifying the difference between their intended movement and their actual swing.
Include the ball-flight problem you are trying to solve with your submission. A swing video is more useful when the coach also knows whether the shot started right, curved left, or struck the ground before the ball.
Live Remote Coaching
The live-coaching option includes 4 live lessons per month, with each lesson lasting 50 minutes, and is offered month-to-month or with a 3-month commitment. The lessons take place over WhatsApp, and the offering includes unlimited swing-video submissions to Brad between lessons.
This is a recurring coaching commitment rather than an occasional check-in. Before enrolling, make sure you can attend the sessions and practice between them; feedback is most useful when you have time to apply it.
In-Person Coaching and Coaching-Hours Packages
Hands-on instruction lets a coach observe your movement directly and help you distinguish the intended feel from what you are actually doing.
The coaching-hours packages have a 4-hour minimum, with a 7-hour package and a 10-hour package also available. Before booking, confirm how the hours are divided, the session format, the location, and what the fee includes.
Choose the package around a defined learning goal. “Understand the transition and leave with a usable practice plan” is a clearer objective than simply buying more instruction.
How to Tell Whether the Juju Swing Is Helping
A successful swing change improves your typical shot and your miss.
Look for improvement that holds up beyond a carefully rehearsed practice swing. Useful signs include:
- More predictable contact: fewer heavy, thin, or noticeably off-center strikes.
- A manageable directional pattern: a starting line and curve you can plan around.
- Better distance consistency: similar strikes producing similar carry distances.
- Transfer to normal play: the movement remains usable when you change targets and clubs.
- Less dependence on conscious correction: you can play the shot without rebuilding the swing during your setup.
These are evaluation criteria, not promised results.
Separate Feel From Performance
A motion can feel smoother without improving the strike. An unfamiliar movement can initially feel awkward.
A widening shot pattern means your control is getting worse, even if the motion feels smoother.
Distance deserves the same care. Distinguish carry from rollout when conditions differ.
Check More Than One Club and One Setting
A change that organizes a short-iron swing may not transfer immediately to the driver. Evaluate the clubs you actually rely on rather than assuming success with one club proves the whole system has taken hold.
Course scores also need context. Better putting can hide poor full-swing performance, while a good ball-striking round can still produce a disappointing score. Track the problem you set out to fix alongside the scorecard.
Once a change is helping, keep a clear record of the cue, drill, and checkpoint that produced it. If the move remains unclear or your miss worsens, take your recordings and shot notes to an instructor before making a larger commitment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Any Top Golf Teachers Recommend the Juju Swing?
No endorsement from a top golf teacher is verified in the available information. Golfer testimonials are not the same as recommendations from named instructors. Treat an endorsement claim as unverified unless it can be traced to that teacher’s own statement.
What Has Jim McLean Said About the Juju Swing?
No attributable statement about the swing is verified in the available information. It would therefore be misleading to describe him as either a supporter or a critic. A direct article, interview, or video would be needed to establish a position.
What Are the Three Types of Golf Swings?
There is no universally accepted set of exactly three golf-swing types. Single-plane and two-plane are examples of swing classifications, while other labels describe body motion, swing shape, or a particular teaching system. Juju is a branded instructional approach, not a universally recognized “third type” of golf swing.
