Golf Instruction: Golf Training Aids: Golf SwingTrainer: Swing Tempo

Use Swing-Tempo to independently adjust the signal duration of your back swing, top swing, and downswing in 1/10th of second digital increments. Retain Your Tempo setting and practice your tempo at home, at the office, at the range, or on the course.

Swing in sync to the Swing-Tempo signals to find your best tempo. If your tempo is different from the recommended settings, you can adjust the duration of your backswing, top swing, and downswing to retain your ideal tempo.

Digitally accurate Swing-Tempo gives you a numerical reference to tempo, timing, and rhythm. Three learning methods allow you to see, hear, and feel your perfect tempo. Swing-Tempo delivers a consistent tempo from tee to green with every club in your bag.

How Swing-Tempo Works

Every golfer has a natural rhythm. Whether your swing tempo is fast or slow, it is important to maintain a tempo that is most comfortable for you. From driver to putter, one consistent tempo will give you the best results. Use Swing-Tempo to achieve maximum distance and accuracy with greater control.

Swing-Tempo will emit 3 signals indicating the address, backswing, and downswing. The signals are based on a " 1-2-3 " timing method. Try counting out loud to familiarize yourself with the duration of each signal. Remember, the durations of the BS, TS, and DS signals are based on the inputted tempo setting.

TS Note: There is no signal for the "TS" setting. The "TS" represents the pause, or transition time, between the 2nd (BS) and 3rd (DS) signals.

1st Signal: Indicates the ready/address position.
(This signal is unchangeable and always remains the same.)

2nd Signal: Indicates the duration of the backswing.
(From the start of backswing to top of the backswing)

3rd Signal: Indicates the duration of the downswing.
(From the start of downswing through impact and finish.)

What the Numbers Mean

In reference to the setting of 06 04 07:

BS of 06 indicates that it will take 6/10 of a second from the start of the back-swing, to the top of the back-swing.
TS of 04 indicates a 4/10 if a second pause (or transition) from the top of the back-swing, to the start of the down-swing.
DS of 07 indicates that it will take 7/10 of a second from the start of the down-swing, to the complete finish of the swing.

FAQ's

Why should I invest in Swing-Tempo and how will it help improve my game?
At some point, all golfers encounter the need to maintain consistency. Realizing that consistency stems from tempo, timing, and rhythm, players try to maintain it without ever being able to practice it. Why? No training aid on the market allowed you to find or retain your prefect tempo.

Will Swing-Tempo improve my putting and chipping?
For putting, players who tend to hit the ball will learn to stroke through the ball. A proper topswing pause and downswing tempo will produce a more fluid putting stroke. With the ability to time the duration of your follow-through and finish, Swing-Tempo develops acceleration through impact and reliable distance control around the greens. Three footers for par will find the back of the hole more consistently, and solid chip shots will take strokes off your game.

What are the preferred tempo settings?
After years of testing and research, GP Golf engineers found that many Tour professionals had clearly defined swing tempos. Our engineers developed tempo combinations for slow, average, and fast swingers.

Swing Tempo	BS	TS	DS
Slower	06	04	07
Average	05	04	06
(Quicker transition)	05	03	06
Fast	04	03	05

Based on your own swing temperament, we recommend you start with one of these tempo combinations as a guide. If you like one of the preferred tempo settings, program it into your Swing-Tempo. If you feel your own tempo is slightly different, simply adjust the Swing-Tempo to your preference. Remember, Swing-Tempo is fully adjustable. It is important to use a tempo combination that is most comfortable for you.

Q: How can some so simple be so effective?
It's simple and effective because we've been able to incorporate cutting-edge technology in conquering the most elusive fundamental in golf. Compared to other training aids on the market, you swing along with the signals of Swing-Tempo engraining one repeatable swing from driver to putter.

Q: What is the best way to find my tempo?
Tempo usually matches temperament. To find your best tempo, simply look at the way you walk of talk. If you are a fast walker, your tempo will probably be faster than someone who is a slow walker. Do not force yourself to use a slow tempo setting. Naturally fast swingers who try to use a slow tempo often throw off their entire game. Likewise, slow swingers who try to use a fast tempo often create tension and unnecessary strain.

Q: I'd like to swing faster, do I change the BS or DS tempo setting?
Rather than adjusting the BS and DS settings to quicken your swing, we suggest adjusting the TS setting. This will allow you to speed the transition between your backswing and downswing. Changing the BS and DS setting too drastically will cause strain on your body making it difficult for your hands and body to work in proper sequence.
