Improve Your Golf Swing by Improving Your Tempo
from: Sean CochranWe have all heard the word tempo in relation to the golf swing.
Announcers on television speak of the "great" tempo Ernie Els
has in his golf swing. What does tempo mean to the amateur and
their golf swing?
Tempo in the Golf Swing
Tempo in the golf swing is a combination of many parts. Tempo is
part timing in all aspects of the golf swing. It is part
sequencing of each position within the golf swing, and it is
part "feel". Putting all these golf swing parts together creates
tempo in your own golf swing.
Interconnecting each phase of the golf swing; address,
take-away, backswing, transition, downswing, impact, and follow
through is one part of tempo, Performing each of these phases
with the correct timing is also tempo. And finally "feel" for
the clubhead is part of tempo.
We can probably say tempo is the end goal of all our practice
and time spent on our golf swing. Once we have developed tempo
in the golf swing, there is definitely a level of mastery within
it.
How Do We Develop Tempo in the Golf Swing?
A great question that does not have a simple answer: Developing
tempo in the golf swing is a task that requires patience,
practice, and time. There really are no short cuts to developing
it within your golf swing. One practice session at the driving
range will not do it. The use of a single training aide will not
get you there. The implementation of a golf fitness program will
not achieve this task on its own.
I say this because developing a PGA Tour type golf swing
requires a "basket of tools" in your arsenal. Developing tempo
and a silky smooth golf swing requires you to:
Receive proper instruction on the fundamentals of the golf
swing
Maintain a consistent practice schedule with your golf swing
Use swing drills to develop every as of your golf swing
The possible implementation of training aides into your
practice sessions
Implementing of golf fitness program to develop your body
around the golf swing.
The "basket of tools" listed above put together can lead you to
developing great tempo in your golf swing. It requires a
comprehensive approach in which no short cuts can be made. Let's
take a look at the bullet points above to get a better
understanding of how to go about this process.
Proper Instruction in the Mechanics of the Golf Swing
Learning the fundamentals of the golf swing is key to developing
tempo. This can be achieved through quality instruction. This
will allow your body to learn the nuances of the swing. This is
the first step in developing tempo.
Consistent Practice of the Golf Swing
As they say practice makes perfect. In order for your body to
learn and be able to repeat to proper mechanics of the golf
swing, you must practice on a consistent basis. The body learns
biomechanical movements through repetition. The golf swing is no
different. Repetition through proper practice session is the
second key to developing tempo.
Swing Drills to Develop the Golf Swing
The golf swing as a whole is one of the most intricate athletic
movements to perform. In its entirety, it is a very difficult
movement to perform and master. It is best when learning the
golf swing to break it down into parts. Breaking the golf swing
down into segments allows you more easily to master each phase
of the swing. This is accomplished through the implementation of
golf swing drills. Swing drills break the swing down into
manageable parts.
Training Aides in Association with Your Golf Swing Drills
Training aides assist the body in developing the golf swing.
Think of training aides as "training wheels" on a bicycle. They
simply help your body learn certain movements and positions
associated with the golf swing.
Implementing a Golf Fitness Program
Your body swings the golf club and performs the biomechanics of
the golf swing. In order to perform the biomechanics of the golf
swing correctly. It is necessary for your body to have certain
levels of flexibility, balance, endurance, strength, and power.
If your body is lacking any of this aforementioned list learning
the biomechanics of the golf swing correctly will be very
difficult. A golf fitness program is the final key to developing
tempo in your golf swing.
Summary
To summarize the development of tempo in your golf swing
requires a "basket of tools". Tempo requires; proper instruction
on the golf swing, consistent practice of your golf swing
mechanics, the utilization of swing drills, training aides, and
a golf fitness program. Put all of these aspects together and a
golf swing with tempo will be yours.
