Losing Distance with Age: Common Faults and Fixes

As golfers age, a natural decrease in flexibility and muscle speed often leads to a noticeable loss in driving distance. Many senior golfers attempt to compensate for this loss of mobility by forcing speed with their arms, introducing critical swing faults that further destroy distance and accuracy. Drawing from GOLFTEC’s database of millions of swings, this guide identifies the top 3 swing faults caused by aging and offers data-driven mechanics fixes to restore lost yards without risking injury.

How to Stop Hitting Fat Shots/Thin Shots

Struggling with fat or thin golf shots? The problem may not be your swing speed, it may be where your swing’s low point is reaching the ground. Learn what causes fat and thin shots, how ball position affects short-game contact, and how head and hip movement can change your low point during the full swing. GOLFTEC coaches break down simple adjustments and drills to help you improve ball striking, make more consistent contact, and stop guessing at the fix.

Why Am I Slicing the Ball? Causes and Fixes

Why am I slicing the ball? A golf slice can have more than one cause, and the right fix depends on what is happening in your swing. Learn how your grip, clubface, swing path and downswing sequence can create a slice and what you can do to start hitting straighter, more consistent golf shots. GOLFTEC breaks down the mechanics behind the slice and explains why simply trying to swing more from the inside isn't always the answer.
