Swing Easy, Hit Hard - Tempo for your Golf Swing

Balance and rhythm...timing and speed, these are all components of tempo and as any professional golfer will tell you, tempo is key for a good golf swing.

Have you ever rushed your swing and lost your balance? I have...many times... and there went solid contact and decent ball flight.

I worked hard on tempo last season and I'd like to think it would never be a problem for me again, but that's not realistic. Even players who have been playing at the highest level have to continually work on tempo. Each tiny adjustment you make to your swing can throw you off and you've got to work to get back into the swing of things - To help with that process, we've now got Tempo in Motion.

It's a great concept that allows you to download rhythmic clips of music that are designed to work with your particular swing. Tempo tunes rock your game!

It sounds like an awesome idea and I'm looking forward to using it help ME get swinging in these next couple of weeks.

  2. Oh yes I was using a metronome type thing and it drove me crazy...music has got to be better.

  3. I'm ALL over this idea. I think it may be key to calming my nerves too. I always did my best skating when I was "lost" in my music. The muscles took over and my mind got out of my way.

  5. The range I go to has a burned out hippie type guy that gathers the balls. I have him play the Beatles "Hey Jude" on the harmonica and I hit the crap outta the ball.

  6. I agree with all of the above. I always have my ipod at the range. If you can establish a rhythm with music..music that's adapted to the speed of your swing..you'll hit better. And you'll have a better time.

    The problem is that my bf won't let me bring my ipod along when we actually play. ;)

  8. Music is cool, but this is training music with tempo pattern to the right ratio. Progress ahead!

  9. I've tried this too and it does really work.
    At first I was trying to swing at specific points in the music and found it difficult but once I got "tuned" in to the rhythm it seemed to come naturally and I definitely hit it better.
