3 Swing Killers Every Senior Golfer Must Fix ASAP

Giles Gill breaks down three critical swing mistakes specifically for golfers over 45 that cause injury and power loss. He demonstrates how to adopt a 'user-friendly' relaxed posture, use a shift board to master pressure sequencing, and replace dangerous downswing side-bend with efficient arm speed.

• Ditch the rigid 'flat back' posture for a taller, more relaxed setup with a slightly rounded upper back to improve rotation.
• Focus on pressure shift timing (early right, early left) rather than trying to maximize shoulder turn for power.
• Avoid excessive side bend in the downswing to protect your back; instead, pull the handle down quickly with your arms.
• Sequencing and timing are more effective power sources for senior golfers than extreme flexibility-based moves.
