Cadi Club vs. Shorty Club: Which One’s Right for You?

Not all clubs swing the same.
And when it comes to our two options at CK Maceworks — the Cadi Club and the Shorty — the difference isn’t just cosmetic.

We designed both to be versatile, loadable, and damn near indestructible. But how they move, how they feel, and who they’re best for? That’s what today’s breakdown is all about.

🎥 Watch: Cadi vs. Shorty — Which Club Fits You Best?

🔩 The Cadi Club: 24 Inches of Hybrid Power

The Cadi Club sits in a sweet spot between a traditional steel club and a short mace.

With a 24-inch handle, it gives you:

• A longer arc with more torque

• Room for comfortable two-handed work

• Plenty of control for single-arm swings, even when loaded heavy

It’s especially well-suited for taller lifters (like Nate, who’s 6’2”) and anyone who wants one club that can do a little bit of everything — from single-arm mills to two-handed 360-style flows.

You can think of the Cadi as the do-it-all club — part club, part bulava, part mini mace.

🔧 The Shorty: 18 Inches of Fast, Tight Movement

The Shorty is compact, snappy, and incredibly fun to move with.

At 18 inches, it’s designed for:

• Single-arm work — mills, cleans, presses, swings

• Faster, tighter movement arcs

• Lifters who are shorter, or prefer less handle length

Because of its shorter lever, it moves quicker and demands more precision. It’s not ideal for two-handed movements unless you’re choking up on the grip — but for single-arm drills, it’s clean and fast.

If you like speed, grip training, and rotational control, this little monster delivers.

🧠 Choosing Between the Two

Here’s the quick breakdown:

Still can’t decide?
Go Cadi Club first — you can always choke up to shorten your grip, but you can’t add length to the Shorty.

🛠 Why Clubs at All?

If you’re already swinging a mace, you might wonder — do I really need a club?

Short answer: yes. The club gives you:

• A different lever length and swing speed

• More wrist, triceps, and grip work

• Tighter rotational control

• A new stimulus that complements mace work perfectly

Clubs aren’t just scaled down maces. They’re a completely different tool — and they deserve a spot in your training.
