STOP Losing Distance From This Backswing Mistake

A narrow backswing is one of the most common power leaks in amateur golf. If your strikes feel weak or inconsistent, this is likely why.

Most golfers pull their arms around their body in the takeaway without realising it. That collapses the arc before the swing has even started.

Here is what is going wrong:

✅ Arms pull away from ball wih no turn during the takeaway
✅ Width breaks down before the top of the backswing
✅ The shaft gets narrow in the downswing

The fix starts at setup. Touch the shaft to your right collar bone before you take the club back.

From there, turn your back to the target and then finally push your hands away from your body. That is a structured, powerful coil.

A wide arc is what creates effortless distance and consistent ball-striking. Not more effort.
