The Tour Tempo Total Game app is based on the research into the top players golf swing tempo outlined in the book by John Novosel with John Garrity –
what I like about it the most
- it provides a user friendly and practical way to benefit from the research into the swing tempo of the world’s best golfers, as outlined in their book
- the research found that the Tour Pros exhibit a consistent tempo of 3 to 1 (with slight variations)
- the app helps to train and teach you how to swing with this backswing and downswing tempo ratio exhibited by the Tour Pro’s
- it includes tones, beats and customised musical tracks that help you synchronize your tempo
- in this app tempo ratios are included for both long-game and short-game
- you can choose from a range of slight variations to match your individual rhythm
- comprehensive easy-to-follow instructions and videos show you in detail how to co-ordinate the audio with your technique
- you can quickly see results from listening to the beats on your headphones and taking swings at the range
what I like about it the least
- it could use a built-in feedback mechanism to track how close you are getting to your chosen tempo
need to know
- you can use this app in the background while training with other apps that don’t take over the audio channel
- the developers have released a number of related apps -see the sidebar
conclusion
- Tour Tempo Total Game is the best app around for training, correcting and internalising a regular and effective swing tempo
