Most golfers want more speed.
But a lot of them chase it in the wrong order.
They buy a speed stick, watch a few swing tips, start swinging harder…
Then wonder why their back gets tight, their shoulder gets cranky, or their swing feels more inconsistent.
Speed is not just about effort.
It’s about having a body that can create it.
The 3 big mistakes I see:
1. Skipping mobility
If your hips, upper back, and shoulders don’t move well, your swing will find a workaround.
And usually, your low back or shoulder pays the price.
2. Not building enough strength
You can’t expect more speed from the same engine.
Mobility gets you into better positions. Strength helps you control them and produce force.
3. Not measuring
If you’re not tracking clubhead speed, ball speed, or some type of performance number, you’re guessing.
And serious golfers don’t need more guessing.
They need a plan.
If you want more distance, more consistency, and a body that actually holds up while you chase it, the answer probably isn’t just “swing harder.”
It’s building the right foundation first.
