The “Easy Golf Swing” Mistake That’s Killing Your Speed!

Golf instructor from Easiest Swing reveals a common flaw where golfers mistake a relaxed swing for a slow, overly controlled backswing. By putting 'the handbrake on,' golfers lose energy and distance. Using a Swing Caddy training aid set to low resistance, he demonstrates how to achieve continuous flow and double clicks in backswing and follow-through to generate maximum speed effortlessly.

• Relaxed and effortless swinging does not mean moving in slow motion.
• A slow, controlled backswing acts like a handbrake, ruining rhythm, weight transfer, and sequencing.
• Use a training aid like the Swing Caddy set at low resistance to produce a click in both directions (backswing and follow-through).
• Focusing on natural rhythm and flow automatically increases clubhead speed without adding physical strain.
