3:36-minute Back Arm Only Drill
Golf Instruction • 3m 36s
Practice something about your game everyday. #CardioGolfChallenge
In my opinion, daily practice is the key to success towards any goal. Making 10 practice swings a day or exercising for 5 minutes everyday will get you playing better and in better shape than exercising or practicing for two or three hours once a week. First of all, it is always hard to find big chunks of time to do massive workouts or beat balls on the driving range. Secondly, the long workouts or practice sessions usually lead to fatigued swings, injuries and ingrained bad habits.
There is something to be said about the momentum of taking small daily steps towards a goal that is cumulatively better than taking big steps with less frequency.
Simply taking practice swings with one arm at a time can help you develop feel for the correct positions in the golf swing. As you place one hand on the club, try to simulate your real grip and set-up as much as possible. Swing the club with one arm, feeling the weight of the clubhead to develop feel, tempo and strength.
Use the Cardiogolf ‘Shortee’ Club to practice everyday. If you don’t have room to swing a regular golf indoors or you can’t make it to the golf course or driving range, use the Cardiogolf ‘Shortee’ Club to practice anywhere and at anytime.
Back Arm Only Drill
Holding the club just with the back arm only.
Swing to the top and stop to make sure that your weight is loaded into your back leg.
Feel the weight on the inside of the back foot and keep the back knee slightly flexed.
Take a full swing and hold finish. Make sure you pivot off of your back foot.
Return to start position and repeat for 8 to 10 repetitions.
