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.
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.

Today we focus on a how to coil and uncoil-
On the backswing, you are just trying to wind your body to get your arms in position at the top of the swing. It is not necessary to lift, heave, lunge or over- turn on the backswing. In fact, most higher-handicappers overdo the things they are supposed to do in the swing. Be careful not to over-turn on the back swing and raise your body up out of the original angle. If you raise up out of your posture then you will have to do something drastic on the downswing to compensate, usually resulting in fat or thin shots.
This drill will help you practice the body motion to make it a part of your swing. The more effectively and efficiently you can shift your weight, the more consistent ball striker you will become.
Coil and Uncoil Drill
- Assume your golf stance with your club behind your back as shown.
- Turn back as if you were swinging a golf club making sure that your weight shifts to the inside of your back foot and your shoulders turn so that your back is to the target.
- Start the downswing by shifting your lower body weight towards the target, followed by your shoulders.
- Finish in balance.
- Repeat drill for 8 to 10 repetitions.
