Practice something about your game everyday. #CardioGolfChallenge

Today we focus on an the Downswing-

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.

In order to create power on your downswing, you need to ‘get behind the ball’ at the top of your swing. This involves rotating your shoulders and hips away from the target, so the majority of your weight shifts to the back foot at the top of the swing. Once you have wound your body up behind the ball, then you can rotate your lower body towards the target and fling your arms to hit the ball.

Where a lot of people go wrong, especially on the downswing, is they never quite get their core rotating towards the target.  They either come over the top with upper body or hang back and use only hands and arms to hit the ball.  To get more power, you’ll want to use your core muscles.

Pump Drill-

• Set up in your golf posture
• Make a backswing and stop at the top.
• Begin your downswing, but stop halfway down, making sure that you lead with the butt end of the club and weight shift.
• Return to the top and pump the club down two more times.
• On the third pump, finish the swing. 
• Return to the start position and repeat exercise.
• Do 8 to 10 repetitions.
