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.

Good stuff here pro! Been looking for something like this to smooth out not only myself but those that I instruct! Job well done sir!

Hi Frank, thank you so much for your kind words...all the best Izzy

Absolutely love this approach to the golf swing. Reminds me of Linc St. Clair in Quantum Golf. Excellent presentation,and throughly enjoyably. Definitely something i would come back to often.

Thank you so much...great book!!!

[@darinsuchon3883]

This is definitely going to help my game. Boring is scoring I’ve been told…. So practicing this tempo will make me slow & steady my shots. Thanks!

Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!!

I put an AirPod in one ear on the range and then playing. Start the rhythm when I am next up. I think I am placing the T and setting up on the same beat. With my ADD I think it gets my head out of the way..? Had the highest GIR in my one year golf career. This is definitely effective for my brain.

[@rhythmicgolf3720]

great to hear...keep it up..thank you!!!

[@mikerodrick2430]

Great video, but I have a question. When you go to the course, when you hit chip shots, your rhythm changes due to the length of the swing so how is it done consistently between different rhythms?

[@rhythmicgolf3720]

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!

was the cop siren in the background for Izzy's criminal 60 yard sunken chip shot?

that's so funny!!!!

[@gotchugarrosh6825]

@rhythmic golf: Why do you mention it is just half as quick as the beats are? e.g. 220 is really 110? I got confused by that maths 😮. Could you pls explain this?

[@rhythmicgolf3720]

Hello there, In music we call it double time or a skip count to enhance precise timing. So in this case I take the club back on 1 and strike the ball on 3... when I double to tempo I am still doing the same thing however instead of just 1,2,3 and am saying in my head..1 and 2 and 3 that is 5 counts or..1,2,3,4, strike on 1 this allows me to show how the 3 to 1 ratio golf swing works in a tempo, timing format...hope this helps

[@gotchugarrosh6825]

Well explained Izi. I got that. Thanks. Although your explaining words lead me to the next question. What makes you believe, that the ratio should be 3:1 rather than let's say 2:1? I am just wondering if this is coming from experience or elsewhere?

[@rhythmicgolf3720]

@@gotchugarrosh6825 Hi Gotchu, great question, actually experience taught me that it can be done both ways. It is a tad time consuming to find your best flow, your best rhythmic style, your optimal time to achieve it. If you are going to try with a metronome, video tape 10 to ten shots and look at yourself and compare your swings from each other until you find it!!!!

[@gotchugarrosh6825]

@@rhythmicgolf3720 10 to ten? You mean up to 10? 😳 Anyway, I will record some to find out, but rather think I will get a feeling from trying out different rhythms than from looking at the videos. Haha.

[@mikerodrick2430]

This is where having played drums my entire life really pays off & I'm sure it's the same for any musician.

[@BluePuttees]

Hey I know that swing , 25 years and the tempo is the same. Izzy how you doing? Warren

Warren my old buddy from Maple D???

Funny we both keep the lid clean and tight now. Ya look good my friend.

I was watching vids of Hogan and all of a sudden the algorithm popped up with Rhythmic golf.

[@rhythmicgolf3720]

Awesome!!!@@BluePuttees

[@einstu]

Is the ratio always 4 to 1? Not sure why you say 3 to 1?? Backswing 4 beats and downswing 1.

[@rhythmicgolf3720]

Hi there, I'm sorry for the late reply. I say it this way because the start is at a "1" not a zero. So in a pie example 1 to 2 is one piece, 2 to 3 a second and so on...hope that helps, Izzy

3-1 tempo has been covered already by Tour Tempo Golf.
