2-min CardioGolf Shortee Club Set Up
Golf Instruction
•
1m 50s
In CardioGolf class, I use short practice clubs to do exercises and swing drills. The club is short for a couple of reasons:
The Shortee club is easy to swing indoors without hitting the walls or ceilings.
The clubhead is closer to your hands, so it is easy to monitor the clubface and learn how to square the face at impact.
Since you are not hitting balls with the short club, there is no judgement of where the ball goes, so you can work on your technique without getting frustrated.
The Shortee club is lighter than a regular club, so you can learn to swing the club faster to develop clubhead speed.
Making practice swings will not only tone your muscle and burn some calories, but the act of swinging over and over again can help you improve your swing technique and improve muscular endurance.
Our practice swings are usually smoother, longer and more on-plane with better tempo than our real swings. As you make practice swings, you can focus on making certain motions to improve technique such as making a fuller shoulder turn, keeping your spine angle throughout the swing and shifting your weight correctly.
As you make practice swings, you can swing faster than you usually do to help you get used to swinging faster to improve clubhead speed. As you make practice swings, you can work on certain moves in your swing without worrying where the ball is going.
A few things to think about while you are making your practice swings…
Look down at where a ball would be and try to simulate hitting a ball as much as possible.
Work on your swing fundamentals. Monitor your posture, alignment, ball position and grip to make sure they are correct.
Keep your head level throughout your swing.
Complete each practice swing by holding your finish for a moment, as if you were watching your ball fly down the fairway.
Imagine the perfect golf shot as you swing.
Finish in balance.
Start each swing from the beginning; don’t swing back and forth continuously.
Make each swing as if you were hitting a real shot.
