Has your golf swing suddenly gone awry? Are you noticing a loss of power and distance?
A natural effective golf swing is made up of many parts, all of which, when properly executed, turn this seemingly complicated action into a fluid and powerful swing.
I struggled with my golf swing for many years, always searching for that one secret ingredient that would make it work effortlessly.This was not all wasted effort however, because I did learn to perform most of the fundamental parts of a correct golf swing perfectly…But I still needed that secret.
So now you are asking, well what is the secret ingredient?
The most important fundamental part of a quality golf swing, the glue that holds it all together to create the most power and distance that your body type can generate is swing tempo. Swing tempo is also one of the hardest aspects to teach
Tempo is very much associated with your natural body timing, if you move fast and talk fast, your natural tempo will be fast, if you move slower and talk slower your tempo will be slower. This is neither good or bad, just different for different people.
Tour players and top amateurs have slightly different swing speeds, however they almost all have exactly the same tempo ratio of 3 to 1, 3 counts to the top of the backswing, 1 count down to impact. This is really an amazing statistic, they all seem to generate a good portion of their swing speed and swing balance in exactly the same way.
Your assignment then, is to find a golf teacher who will show you the drills you need to learn swing tempo, do this and your swing will evolve into a thing of beauty.
