Pre-Game Warm Up Exercises
You can perform any combination of exercises for pre-game warm
up. The only thing is not to over exercise. Only perform 5-7 swings of
each exercise. If you fatigue your muscles by warming up excessive-
ly, you may find it affecting your golf game adversely.
Transition to Swinging...
• The first time you swing a regular golf club after practicing with
an ImpactStik, you will notice that the golf club feels almost
weightless. You will notice a big increase in clubhead acceler-
ation through impact. However, the new power is so unexpect-
ed that your body and mind do not know how to deal with it.
You need a few days to process and incorporate the new power
into your swing. It is different for every individual.
• This transitional adaptation to a golf club occurs only at first.
After a few days, you won’t notice any adjustment issues.
• A good way to help make an easier transition is to initially use
easy, slow tempo swings with your golf club. Don’t try to hit
the ball hard to begin with. You will notice that your hands and
wrists seemingly fire all by themselves at the impact area.
• You will also notice that your body accelerates through impact
and follow-through more powerfully. This will cause you to
lose your balance at times. Slow down your swing.
• Get used to the new way your body delivers power to your
shots before you start to swing hard. Think of performing
slightly slower-tempo, smooth swings.
• After a few days, your conscious mind and unconscious mind
will have processed and learned how to deal with the progres-
sive resistance that is produced by the ImpactStik.
• If you perform heavy sets of exercises with the ImpactStik, you
need to rest your muscles a day or two before you hit golf balls.
Fatigued muscles will cause biomechanical swing failure.
• Sudden hard, strenuous exercising could cause the balance of
your golf swing biomechanics to change too suddenly. You may
experience errant shots. For this reason, perform moderate
sets of exercises and plan on improving your swing gradually
over an extended period of time.
• The exercises presented above are only some of the things you
can do with the ImpactStik. By no means are they the only ones
you can do. Feel free to explore other ways to exercise with it.
• Again, we stress that you consult your local teaching profes-
sional to help you monitor your swing improvements. If used
wisely in conjunction with some good golf lessons, the
ImpactStik will help you develop a consistent and powerful,
enduring golf swing.
Enjoy.
