How do you improve Swing Tempo?

—————————————————————–
Drill: Consistent Timing – Tempo
—————————————————————–
Problem
Tempo ratio is inconsistent or not equal to the ideal 3.0:1 ratio, resulting in inconsistent ball contact.

Solution

1. Make 5 swings, then review your Backswing Time and analyze your results. 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.
2. Repeat the process for Downswing Time. Make 5 swings then review your Downswing Time and analyze your results. Downswing 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 0.25 seconds, make 5 more swings trying to match your ideal Downswing Time within 0.05 seconds.
3. Repeat the process for Tempo. Make 5 swings, then review your Tempo and analyze your results. Tempo should remain the same regardless if you are swinging at full speed or only 50%. Once you find your signature Tempo, as close as possible to 3.0:1, then make 5 more swings trying to match your ideal Tempo within 0.1:1.
