Nobody quits golf because they want to. They quit because it hurts. If your back, hips, or shoulders are turning 18 holes into an endurance test, the problem might not be your body it might be a mismatch between the swing you learned at 30 and the body you have at 60. You don’t need a massive swing overhaul to play pain-free. By making three honest adjustments, using your knees to unlock rotation, implementing a simple 5-minute pre-round mobility routine, and matching your equipment to your current swing speed, you can stay competitive and comfortable. Learn how GOLFTEC’s OptiMotion™ data can help you identify your specific mobility limits and build a swing that works with your body, not against it.

The key to making solid contact every time comes down to training a good backswing
There's hardly a better feeling in the world than hitting a golf ball perfectly. The sound and feeling of making solid contact is unmatched.
However, for some golfers, that feeling hardly ever happens - in many cases due to poor fundamentals within the backswing.
Quite often, the culprit of consistently mishitting the ball occurs in part from the elbows bending too much in the backswing. This can lead to a multitude of problems, including hindering the golfer's turn and leading the club to hit the ground before the ball in the downswing.
Of course, there are many components that go into making solid contact a constant element in your game. A good starting point to help this common issue is to reduce the amount of elbow bend in the backswing.
When training a good backswing, it boils down to feeling like your arms are much less bent on both the way back and way through, all the way into your finish position.
In the video below, GOLFTEC's Patrick Nuber explains how to do this in detail, and gives a simple drill to help train a good backswing by maintaining straighter arms in the backswing and downswing.
With a little practice, your backswing will be much improved and you'll start achieving that one-of-a-kind feeling more than you ever have!
