Tour Tempo -YOUR Tempo!

Tempo Training MIGHT Improve Your Golf Game!!

Tour Tempo - YOUR Tempo

Well, thank you again, Jon Sherman!  In Jon’s best-selling book The Four Foundations Of Golf, there is a chapter title “Tempo Training.”  I am fascinated by this topic – I’ve known for a long time the value of tempo training for putting (2 to 1 backstroke to forward stroke to impact time ratio), but not aware of a LOT of evidence that tempo training for the full swing and short game can be valuable.  I bought the book Tour Tempo 2 and read it – it makes sense!

So mini summary – there is much evidence that a full swing tempo ratio of 3/1, and a short game tempo ratio of 2/1 (pitching and putting) can result in improved golf performance.

Here are a bunch of great links you can use to personally investigate this topic further…
