Three Common Golf Swing Mistakes Costing You Distance - GOLFTEC Tips

Every golfer wants more distance - but if you're struggling to add yards off the tee, your swing might be working against you.

In a recent GOLF.COM feature, GOLFTEC’s own Josh Troyer breaks down three of the most common swing mistakes that rob amateur golfers of power. From poor setup positions to inefficient sequencing, these habits are often hard to spot on your own - but they’re costing you  yardage.

‍

Are You Making These Swing Mistakes?

• Bending too far back in the backswing
• Limited shoulder turn
• Staying too far down through impact

These issues don't just cost you distance - they also lead to inconsistent ball flight and timing problems that make the game harder than it needs to be.
