How To Improve Golf Swing Rhythm and Tempo
Jeff Ritter shares a challenging practice tip to help improve golf swing rhythm, control and ball striking efficiency.
One of the biggest differences between recreational golfers and the pros on the PGA or LPGA Tour is the ability professionals have to exhibit a higher level of control over their golf swings. This control is not only a component of the mechanics associated with producing various shot shapes, but also the speed at which each golf swing is made.
Professional golfers are rarely playing at full speed. Instead they have a zone which allows them to exhibit their best rhythm and tempo, while producing a reasonable combination of distance and accuracy. They have a high level of body awareness and can adjust speed or movement of their golf swing to meet any situation. Recreational golfers, however, always seem to be locked in at full throttle, possessing relatively low body awareness and a constant “go for broke” mentality.
