Took this to the range today thinking of it as a four to one ratio. one to start, four is the top, then one to start down but continue to count so the club is not jerked down. Just counting on my own, no mechanical metronome needed. Only took a few minutes before I started hitting them very solid. Once I found correct count speed for say mid iron, I found myself still counting even between shots lol. I've been in a slump even though I've got everything I need to play well; good grip ,good stance, good fundamentals ,etc. but have always struggled with tempo. I can already tell this is what I needed. Thanx so much rhythm Man.

i thought 3:1 ratio means the 3rd beat is on the highest point of the backswing and 4th beat is at ball contact? Please comment...
@rhythmicgolf3720Ай бұрын
Hello there. When using the metronome this way the beats loop themselves after 4 beats called 4/4 timing. Therefore there are 4 pieces to the pie. 3:1 Ratio timing is used when you strike the ball on the 1. Take away on 1 strike on one. I have a couple of videos that go deeper into it. If you take the club back on 1 and strike the ball on 4, we call this a waltz timing pattern which is good as well. Thank you for your question, if there is anything else I can help you with please send a message. All the best, Izzy

Hi Mike, you change tempos. The longer the stroke the slower the tempo. I suggest to experiment what tempo/ distance range that works best for you. It is a bit time consuming but it does work. You can use the same tempo for lets say 10 to 20 yards. What you experiment with is the touch in those ranges and discover what you are comfortable with. Hope that helps. Izzy

Hi Izzy; thanks for your reply & this amazing video. I actually just returned from the range where I started trying this & I'm surprised no one else is using your method given how well it works with immediate feedback if you're off. Obviously 1 session didn't solve my tempo issue but certainly gives me something more useful as a tool than someone talking about tempo without any demonstration. I also watched your video using a metronome against pro swings & was amazed by their nearly perfect repetition of their tempos. Couples & Woods were really standouts in that manner. I'm really surprised that when great tempos are mentioned, Payne Stewart's name is rarely heard. After not having seen his swing in so long, I'm amazed at its fluid smoothness that matches those of Couples & Els who are usually the first names mentioned when swings are discussed. I'd give a lot to have that swing. I've already watched that video 5 times & I know I'll be watching it regularly as a reminder of my goal. Thanks again for your reply & sharing your method. Be well!

Very helpful, the 200bpm sounds really fast .... until you swing a club back and find you are having to wait for beat 4 !! I’ve shown this to my golf buddies and we are all agreed it’s beneficial. Our lowest hcap in our group ( 4 hcap) has benefitted the most, he has a very fast backswing and is prone to hooking if transition is rushed. He still can’t do 200bpm, but his tempo has improved immensely and he’s winning the money !
@rhythmicgolf37204 ай бұрын
Hi Mike, thank you for your comments. I suggest you wait for beat 5, that is the full loop. Beat 4 is a waltz rhythm so you would need to slow the tempo down to approximately 150 to strike it on the 4th...give it a try and see if those suggestions help!!!...Izzy

I timed your putting stroke with your 84 metronome setting using Coach's Eye and you actually are using a 2/1 tempo; .67 backswing and .34 downswing. This is generally what the pros do, not 1:1
@rhythmicgolf37204 ай бұрын
Hi Robert thank you for your comments. What you are describing is ratio. Slower back stroke with a little acceleration. The tempo I am using is 84. Within that 84 my ratio may be .67 to .34. Tempo is a guide for timing points. There is no such thing as 2/1 tempo, tempo is a measurement of time between two pulses.

Thanks for the clarification. That makes a lot of sense. I had read that most pros have a time of .9 to 1.2 sec for "start of take back to ball strike" time with a ratio of 2/1 with their putter, which seems to be the case when I time their strokes in my rather crude method. I thought your 1-2 between tee pegs (a 1:1 ratio) should have been 1-2 back swing and 3 to the ball giving the 2/1 ratio and some acceleration, which is what you seem to do in your stroke. I like to set the metronome at 180 so I get three beats per second; two for the back swing and 1 for the forward motion until the ball is struck giving me the 2:1 ratio over one second.

Using a 3/4 time signature (waltz) is much easier in my opinion. 1,2,3 on the way back and strike on 1 on the way back down. This gives you the 3:1 ratio and also separates the backswing and the downswing counting to help eliminate the hurried transition in case the timing is a little off on the way back.
@rhythmicgolf37206 ай бұрын
Hi XX, yes you can use a Waltz style of timing...no doubt about it. Most people have trouble tapping their hands or foot to a simple beat with a 4/4 time signature!!!! Waltz is more challenging. 3 to 1 ratio is a general area most higher level golfers are at. Tony Finau, is closer to 2 to 1..maybe 1.5!!! lol. So instead of hitting the ball on 3, yes you can hit it on 4...thank you so much for your comments...would you like me to make a video on 3/4 timing??...all the best!!! Izzy

Hi Stuart, thank you for your questions. There is no perfect 4 to 1 ..or 3 to 1 ratios in a golf swing, we are all a little different in that area. If you can grasp the timing points with a metronome and move the tempo up and down you should find the comfortable tempo that is right for you and be able to time your swing to a variety of tempos in search of that right number.

Hi Med, Thank you so much for your comments. What I try to get people to understand is that they can avoid trying to find their feel by using a metronome consistently in their practice because they use that same tempo every time once the individual has discovered what tempo is best for them. I don't guess, I go right to 110 bpm. If my swing is off it may make take 10 minutes or so to get back on track and I'm good to go. If you listen to the music in my trailer, that is me playing all the parts except the drums which I programmed. I played music full time before my golf career, so playing a song at the same speed which means the same tempo is very important or the song will not sound right, same as a golf swing!!! Most of the music in my videos is my music that I wrote in my home studio to avoid copyright issues and I am able to play music at a variety of tempos...all the best!!!
