Common Causes
What might be happening?
- Off-center contact
- Poor launch or spin
- Reduced speed or mobility
- Equipment fit changing with the swing
Distance Help
Why am I losing distance?
Distance loss can come from speed, strike, launch, spin, equipment, flexibility, or confidence. The best answer depends on which club lost distance and what changed recently.
Most AI swing analysis sees the swing. SwingIQ helps the AI understand the golfer first.
First Attempts
What golfers often try first.
- Swinging harder
- Buying lower-spin gear
- Copying speed drills
- Changing the backswing without checking contact
Generic Advice
Why quick tips often fail.
Distance advice often jumps straight to speed. Many golfers can gain practical distance first by improving strike, launch, or driver consistency.
Golfer Context
The same miss can need different priorities.
A senior golfer, beginner, and low-handicap player may all lose distance for different reasons even if their swing video looks similar.
SwingIQ
How SwingIQ works.
SwingIQ captures driver carry, equipment status, practice time, and goals so your AI prompt can ask for distance feedback that fits your body and game.
SwingIQ does not directly analyze video in the MVP. It creates a personalized AI swing-analysis prompt based on your assessment answers, then you use that prompt with your preferred AI assistant and swing video or images.

A few honest answers.
SwingIQ is an educational context tool. It does not guarantee results, replace lessons, or evaluate pain, injuries, or medical concerns.
Is losing distance always about swing speed?
No. Strike quality, launch, spin, contact location, and equipment can all reduce distance.
Can AI recommend distance drills?
AI can suggest ideas when prompted well, but you should use judgment and consider professional help for pain or physical limits.
