Golf Tips – Golf Swing Tempo

In this video I try to explain how to achieve consistent golf swing tempo. Sometimes when a player is on the golf course the first thing to leave them is their tempo. This is a critical part of playing good golf. I try to give different types of golf swing tempo tips. People with bad timing are not going to play great golf.

When playing golf, you want to be smooth and slow when hitting your shots. This is very important in that this creates the same timing each time you hit a shot. In my golf swing tempo video, i try to explain how to get this tempo and why it is important. In my own swing I am hitting shots at the same speed each time.

There are no real ways to get perfect tempo immediately. But in explaining why it is important and how you can achieve it you will then see why you need to master it. I have shown a couple of golf swing tempo drills for you to work on. I hope this helps in your game and make you play better golf.

  1. Paul,
    I have been a disciple of yours for a few years now. Your teaching is by
    far the best I have experienced and augment it with a visit or two to my
    local Pro.
    1st, A little background:
    I recently, (yesterday), put the Swing Speed Radar into use at my local
    practice tee. I noticed that my optimal head speed for my driver and 2 wood
    is currently at 84 mph with a longest drive at 92. Having said that, 84 is
    my current maintainable head speed with those clubs.
    As I moved on to my pitching wedge, (currently locked in at 95 – 100 yds.
    accurately), I noticed that my head speed dropped to 56 mph.
    2nd, My question for you:
    Is the drop in head speed with the wedge an anomaly or is this the norm?
    In other words, should I be set at 56 or should I be seeking to increase
    head speed almost 30 mph? I am not quite sure what the head speed is
    telling me with the wedge. Would you enlighten me?

  2. Excellent video. Maybe it will help me. I have a good practice swing, can
    hit plastic balls well, and after about 10 real balls on the driving range,
    they too fly great, But as soon as I get to the first tee, make a
    backswing, I freeze trying to come down. The only way I can finally hit the
    ball is to take a step forward, like a baseball swing. Any ideas? Hypnosis?
    I’ve had this problem for about 4 weeks, seems like it started after I
    developed “golfer’s elbow”, which, after a doctor injected cortisone, is
    gone. My son-in-law has often said, why do you always try to kill the ball
    (he hits it a mile, hdcp 7). 

  3. played of 5 handicap for 30 years and now play off 15. Watched this video
    went to the practise ground for an hour and shot 2 under for 9
    holes.Awesome instruction Paul.Regards from Co. Galway. Ireland.

  4. Bro I thought I was crazy but I was just practicing at the range and I
    stopped to think about what I was doing wrong “all harms”.
    So I slowed way down almost felt like I being dumb but consistent ball
    striking occurred.
    I’m really excited thank you for the video to back my thougts of what was
    wrong. 

  5. to make it easy, think about pausing at the top of your backswing. you
    wont be pausing but actually your hips will unwind first, hands will drop,
    and arms will follow. think pause, you wont actually pause, but you will
    create great tempo

  6. Paul, I love your teaching style a lot, another words, you’re not just a
    golf instructor charging his/her fee, you are much, much more, somebody who
    has a ” teaching philosophy” which most golf instructors don’t have a clue
    about, unfortunately! By watching your lessens, I have improved my game
    tremendously for which I thank you!!!! Adam ps. would love to visit you in
    LV for a few instructions, how will I approach it? 

  7. Paul, I wish you could see the lights turn on in the eyes of my junior
    golfer girls when they started flying the ball on target following your
    instruction. Joy overtook frustration. Thanks so much.

  8. Thanks for all the tips. Just beginning to play and enjoy the game. It’s
    great to see that someone is happy to help. You’re a legend Paul. Matt Cody

  9. This is the best ever demonstration. and perfectly shown. how to swing the
    club for power and control !! I may have missed some thing in lessons? but
    no one has put it better. power to your elbow Paul. yours Bruce

  10. Your wrists are loose. The forces acting on the mass will want to make the
    mass swing to its widest point. So you are not purposely whipping anything.
    It is whipping because it is loose.

  11. Hi Paul, Thanks for your very interesting videos ! When I try this, I get a
    pretty good feeling in front of the mirror at home. But on the practice
    range, it always ends up with pushes with short irons and big slices with
    the driver ! Like if the club & arms are lagging behind my body turn… Any
    hint ?! 😉 (I am 8-handicap)

  12. you been alot of help to me, this year i started playing golf again, i
    learn the game from Hogans book as a kid, which worked for me, but watching
    your videos you really helped alot i am playing better now than i ever have
    , just want to say thanks for your videos

  13. Hey Paul I just want to thank you, I went from an arm-swinging 23hcp to a
    straight, long-hitting 17 in just a few months watching ONLY your videos. I
    think you are hands-down the best for the beginner. You really understand
    what we need when first starting. Thank you so much!

  14. Paul, thanks for the golf instruction. I don’t get to play as much as I
    would like, but you’re instructions definitely help! I use to be very
    “armsy,” but after following you on YouTube, I have been playing much
    better.

  15. I have found your tips very helpful. Are you recommending loose wrists on
    the backswing resulting in a big wrist hinge? I notice some tour players do
    not present a pronounced wrist hinge on the backswing.

  16. If you are swinging too much inside out and you release it a little too
    much you will hit the top right quadrant of the ball creating a duck hook.
    You need a neutral grip and more turn int he downswing instead of lateral.
    This will get the path going more down the line. The neutral grip will
    reduce the spin. It’s 2 parts which very few people are willing to fix.

  17. My technique will be great for anyone but especially you because it does
    not hurt at all. Glad you found me and I wish you continued success.

  18. This is telling you that your arms are buckling through impact. This is
    adding loft to the club. You need to let them stretch out fully just after
    impact plus you need to get the weight off your back foot through impact.
    Do these 2 things and the flight will lower.

  19. In the backswing you can only hinge your wrists the amount the bones in
    your wrists allow the club to hinge so I would no say this a big wrist
    hinge. It is your wrist hinge. Keep the wrists loose and hinge the club to
    the maximum you can in the backswing. I have had many students that I just
    cannot get them to hinge less than 90 degrees because the wrist bones don’t
    allow this to happen.

  20. Thank you Paul for all these tips, i practiced some for about two weeks an
    hour a day and already its transformed my game and im using garbage golf
    clubs, can’t overstate how listening and putting this stuff into practice
    has alterd my experience of the game

  21. Paul I came across your video about relaxed hands and waists. Fantastic, it
    works. I just have to remember to slow my body down and I’ll be trying this
    new tip out today at the range. I have looked at other instructors, however
    they don’t work for me. I golf with a buddy that swings like you. I have
    tried to emulate him but until now I wasn’t able too. He would say my arms
    are disconnected. Couldn’t figure it out now I see it. Thanks

  22. No this does not promote a flippy swing. I am seeing the wrists as a hinge.
    There is no resistance in a hinge. The looser they are the faster they
    swing plus the forces acting on the mass is what will be squaring the club.
    If you are trying to square the face good luck. You have about 2 degrees
    room for error at 250 yards. Use forces acting on the mass. This repeats
    consistently. Watch some more of my vids to get a better feel for what I
    teach.
