Top 5 Common Golf Swing Mistakes You Can Fix with Eye Swing
Improving your golf swing can feel like chasing a moving target—especially when you’re not sure what you’re doing wrong. While traditional swing analyzers and video tools can provide some feedback, they often miss one critical factor: where you’re looking.
With Eye Swing, golfers finally have a tool that blends swing biomechanics with eye tracking technology, offering a new dimension of understanding. In this article, we’ll explore five common swing mistakes that Eye Swing can help you identify—and fix—more effectively than ever before.
The common golf swing mistakes that you could be making and how to fix them
1. Improper Head and Eye Position at Address
The problem:
Many amateur golfers set up with their head too high or too low, or with their eyes not correctly aligned over the ball. This misalignment can cause inconsistent contact, poor club path, and balance issues throughout the swing.
How Eye Swing helps:
Eye Swing’s sensors and cameras analyze your eye and head positioning in real time, giving you immediate visual feedback. You’ll see if your eyes are over the ball, too far outside, or misaligned with your shoulders—critical adjustments that can improve your setup consistency.
Pro tip: Consistency in eye and head position leads to more repeatable results under pressure.
2. Losing Focus During the Backswing
The problem:
During the backswing, many golfers shift their visual focus away from the ball too early, causing loss of posture, head movement, or swing path deviation.
How Eye Swing helps:
By tracking your visual focus throughout the swing, Eye Swing alerts you if you tend to glance ahead, follow your hands, or drift visually during motion. Maintaining a fixed gaze on the ball through the backswing is key to staying centered and coiled.
Eye-tracking advantage:
Unlike video alone, Eye Swing shows exactly when and where your focus breaks, allowing coaches and players to make targeted adjustments.
3. Early Head Movement Before Impact
The problem:
One of the most common causes of mishits is lifting the head before contact—often subconsciously trying to see where the ball is going. This leads to thin shots, slices, and topped balls.
How Eye Swing helps:
The system detects premature head movement and offers side-by-side comparisons between successful and faulty swings. Visual feedback helps train your body to keep the head steady through impact, a habit that’s hard to build without eye-tracking data.

4. Poor Visual Focus During Putting
The problem:
Even the most accurate putting strokes can fail if your eyes are not focused correctly. Common mistakes include shifting focus between the ball and the hole too frequently, or focusing too tightly and inducing tension.
How Eye Swing helps:
In putting mode, Eye Swing reveals where and how long your eyes linger during setup and stroke. With this data, you can identify whether you’re rushing, freezing, or misfocusing during crucial moments.
Better mental game:
Eye Swing not only improves mechanics but also helps manage mental distractions by training your visual focus—a critical aspect of consistent putting.
5. Inconsistent Swing Tempo Linked to Visual Instability
The problem:
Golfers often experience inconsistent tempo, swinging too fast or too slow depending on pressure or club selection. A hidden cause? Unstable or shifting eye focus, which throws off timing and rhythm.
How Eye Swing helps:
By mapping the relationship between eye stability and swing tempo, Eye Swing helps players find a visual routine that produces their best rhythm. Coaches can use this data to guide players toward a repeatable, controlled tempo.
Eye focus and tempo are more connected than most players realize. Eye Swing visualizes that link.
