How do you improve Backswing Time?

Drill: Consistent Timing – Backswing
—————————————————————–
Problem
Backswing Time is inconsistent, too fast or too slow, resulting in inconsistent ball contact. The most efficient Backswing Time is 3 times longer than the Downswing Time (a Tempo ratio of 3.0:1).
Solution
Make 5 swings, and then review your Backswing Time and analyze your results. The Backswing Time should remain the same, regardless if you are swinging at full speed or only 50%. Once you find your signature time, generally close to 0.75 seconds, make 5 more swings trying to match your ideal Backswing Time within 0.05 seconds.
Focus Keys
Focus on the feel of your ideal Backswing Time. What does too fast feel like? What does too slow feel like?
What does too fast feel like?
What does too slow feel like?
Aim to be within 0.05 seconds of your ideal Backswing Time.
Goal
The goal of this drill is to train your body to create a consistent and repetitive timing pattern to consistently and efficiently make solid contact with the ball.
