Do you know what swing tempo Tiger Woods Uses? Or Ernie Els?

More importantly, do you know what Swing Tempo you use. If you have one, is it consistent?

In my humble opinion, Golf Swing Tempo is the MOST underrated and underwritten about subject, in all of Golfdom! Largely, because for many years it was seen as somewhat of a natural ability. One that not many golf instructors, (including the top ones), touched upon in their teachings. Even David Leadbetter, in his book ‘Faults and Fixes’, only gives it a passing mention….”Tempo is basically the overall speed of your swing”. Jim Flick in ‘How To Become A Complete Golfer’…..”The speed with which you take the club back, does not necessarily relate to the speed with which you bring it forward”. We can only assume that the PGA Tour pro’s developed their tempo as a natural progression, of learning golf, because they certainly weren’t learning it from these guys.

I have literally hundreds of books on the subject of golf. You may have a few of your own. If you were looking for instruction on the grip, I could easily find you over 30 books, each with excellent descriptions and pictures to help you find the correct grip. Likewise, if you wanted to know the correct set up, or the correct position at the top of the backswing, I could probably find you over 50. Yet, if you were to ask me what speed you should swing at, or what swing tempo you should use. Then I could only find you one! Tour Tempo: Golf’s Last Secret Finally Revealed, written byJohn Novosel and John Garrity in 2004. If I were to be totally honest with you, this one book transformed my golf game instantly. I had spent so much time working on all the individual parts of the golf swing and yet, it was this book, which became the glue that held my swing together. My drives got longer, my irons got more accurate, my handicap dropped, week after week. The ‘Golf Gods’ truly blessed us when they gave John Novosel his ‘Eureka’ moment.

Mr Novosel, studied hours and hours of footage, of ALL of the PGA touring pro’s, including some of the greats of yesteryear. He discovered the secret quite by accident. ALL of these great players had one thing that was consistent….Yes even Jim Furyk! They all swing to a consistent 3 to 1 ratio. 3 to the top of the backswing and 1 to impact. This book will have you swinging to the exact same speed and ratio as Tiger Woods…..In FIFTEEN MINUTES! It comes complete with a CD Rom, that has examples of students achieving upwards of 20mph swing speed increase, within minutes.

If you only buy one golf swing aid book this year, to help get your game on track. Then make it this one! I guarantee, you won’t be disappointed.

Here is just one sample customer review from Amazon……

The subtitle of this book is “Golf’s Last Secret Finally Revealed”. There couldn’t be a better description of this book. I have for many years carried a 20 handicap. During the summer of ’03, I made a major commitment to rebuilding my golf swing. This consisted of twelve lessons and loads of practice. I learned how to grip the club properly, how to set-up, how to take the club back, and how to swing through the ball. Like many players rebuilding their swing, my scores got worse initially before getting better. However, even after the changes settled in there was no net gain in my index. I could now hit my best shots really, really well, but I still hit enough bad shots in a round to cancel the really good ones. What was happening was that while I was better mechanically, I was playing with way too many swing thoughts. I was not enjoying playing because I was playing in fear of making a mistake, of not remembering something in a long list of swing thoughts. A playing partner recommended Tour Tempo to me a couple of months ago. After adopting the lessons of Tour Tempo, results were almost immediate. Lower scores (index down to 16.8), and more fun from playing golf. Now the only thing in my mind when I step up to the ball is the target and a cadence. In fact, I believe my improvement has resulted from both my work on mechanics and tempo. I was unable to benefit from the mechanics alone, however, because the successful golf swing , it seems, is more than just the sum of the parts; it is how everything works together in time.

Are you told by your golf buddies that you swing too fast?

Do you think Ernie Els swings nice and slow?

The chances are that Ernie’s smooth swing is WAY faster than yours. It’s not the speed, but the tempo, that separate you from Ernie, because Golf Swing Speed and Golf Swing Tempo are fundamentally different.

Quite often a golfers swing can appear extremely fast, because they don’t have the correct swing tempo. They usually have a very deliberate take away and back swing, where they are trying to ‘Place’ the club head in the correct position. There may even be a deliberate pause at the top.
This is then followed by a rush, down towards the ball, trying to gain the momentum that was lost during the back swing phase.

The chances are that all of the PGA tour players swing faster than you. What separates them, from us, is that they do it with a swing tempo that is fluid not disjointed. They also swing to an exact tempo ratio.

I’ve read many articles, allegedly about Golf Swing Tempo, that start to talk about components of the swing. Swing plane, take away, ball position, alignment. These are fundamentals and separate parts of the swing. These are the individual parts that you learn, which when combined, give you a complete golf swing.
Golf swing tempo, is the glue that holds all of these constituent parts together. In fact, the more you swing, with the correct swing tempo, the more stable all of those swing components become.

So what is Swing Speed? Well it’s simply the amount of time you take to get from the start of your takeaway to the point of impact. But let’s say for simplicity sake, that for you, this takes 4 seconds. (And it better not! Otherwise you and I won’t be playing together anytime soon!) If you take 2 seconds getting to the top of your back swing and then 2 seconds getting the club head to the ball, you really are not going to generate any club head speed.

So what is Swing Tempo? Let’s take the same 4 second swing OK?
This time you take 3 Seconds getting to the top, but 1 second on the way down, and what do you have? Well you have a very slow swing, but you have PERFECT Golf Swing Tempo…..Why?

Because all PRO’s swing at this exact tempo ratio. 3 To 1. So you can swing as fast as you like..Really! As long as you do it using the 3 to 1 ratio. Now all you have to do is achieve this tempo using one of the many training aids available. Most of which are audio cue devices. When you do what you will find (As I did), is that you will swing faster than you ever have, but with a tempo and a consistency, that is going to stay solid throughout your next round of golf. Also, when you use one of these aids, your mind tends to focus on waiting for an audio cue, which eliminates those mind games you tend to start playing when you are addressing the ball. You know, the ones that get you all tensed up and anxious, the ones that took away any chance you ever had of a good smooth swing tempo.
Your golf buddies will probably make comments like, “Wow, Your swing is so much smoother”. They won’t notice ‘Faster’.
Because as I said…Golf Swing Speed and Golf Swing Tempo are two different things.

Whether you share this secret with them….Is up to you!

So where do you find the secret of Golf Swing Tempo? Right Here!
