English term or phrase: coming up out of the shot
I couldn't get the meaning of the word shot which was used by PGA TOUR golfer Andrew Magee while describing the positive effects of GYROTONIC on his career. The whole sentence is:" It's great! Most golfers fight coming up out of the shot, but this strengthening routine works on keeping you in the shot from start to finish.

Selected answer:shot refers to swing; see below
Explanation:
The golf swing is a very complex motion, and it's what golfers work on endlessly and try to perfect. It has different parts, or stages if you will. Specifically, 'coming up out of the shot' refers to that part of the swing AFTER the club has made contact with the golf ball. It is important what you do with the club after it has hit the ball, as it affect the ball trajectory and spin.

"Keep you in the shot from start to finish" means that you keep control of your swing from the very beginning until the end.

Physically, the body comes up and the arm goes up. There is a correct form to do this to make sure to get the amount of power and direction of the gulf ball.

agree  Cilian O'Tuama: the natural tendency to stand up immediately after contact has been made with the ball, thereby ruining the follow through (though hard to say from the sparse context)
