Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Golf is a game, like many games, where our performance level fluctuates from round to round, hole to hole and even shot to shot. Over time we learn to play within our normal range of variation. It is simply one of the countless adjustments we have to make to play properly on a normal basis. But what about those other times when you lose your swing all together despite good swing mechanics? I know it happens to me. I'm on set up properly and swinging on plane but still can't play any better than a new player.
When this occurs it typically turns out that I'm out of sync on my golf swing timing and tempo as well. I am too quick in the transition, my hips are ahead of my hands or my forward weight shift is late. Bad timing can cause the ugliest golf shots you have ever seen. Believe me I have been there and done that! One reason our swing leaves us on occasion is timing. That is our movements get out of sync with each other. The arms swinging and the body fully turning along with the hands releasing the club head has to all be performed in perfect timing in order to hit the perfect golf shot. When done properly is provides the golfer with the basis for a consistent, repeating golf swing
The second reason we discover ourselves with a bad golf swing is tempo. Simply put tempo refers to the time it takes you to execute a full swing from takeaway to the finish position. A good golf swing tempo is necessary if you want to master the perfect golf swing. The speed of the swing should be about the same for every shot and every club. It is hard to stay consistent isn't it? If you are like me you need to fight the urge to "muscle up" on some full shots and swinging your fastest and hardest. You will definitely do a lot better at a constant eighty five percent of your maximum on every golf swing.
Sync your golf swing by utilizing the slow down drill. This one is easy enough to do and is just like it sounds. Using any club of your choice perform an actual swing is super slow motion. Check the position of the club and your body at all the key points such as takeaway, 9 o'clock, top, downswing, impact and finish. Repeat the swing but a bit faster this time. Continue to increase the speed with each successive swing making sure to stay in sync. Repeat with another club until you could keep the same speed with every club.
Tempo and timing work with one another to provide you with a good golf swing. One you can rely on even under pressure. The two are not easy to coordinate much less maintain over the course of a round. But when you do your swing will amaze you and be the envy of everyone in your group.
