you don't really need to think about it, just swing to the beats in the app........start the backswing on beat 1, start the downswing on beat 2, and contact the ball on beat 3!How on earth are we supposed to work out if we have a 3:1 ratio or not by the way? I've always wondered this when people reference it.
Did my dad teach you how to play
That's another one I've never understood either. That makes it sound like the time for backswing and downswing should be the same, since both names have four syllables! So that's totally different to 3:1.
I’m not saying it’s right just something I have heard previously.
I know, I've heard it too, that's why I was chiming in and saying I don't get it. If you watch Rory's swing he's probably hit the ball by the time you get to 'Severi-'
Different way of playing golf now, as with cricket. Now it is wham bam when you learn, back then it was more technique and smoothness. Saying that, for us amateurs I would say generally that a smoother swing is a better one. If we tried to swing at Rory's pace most of us would fall over. His balance is remarkable
I've been trying to add speed, although haven't gone down the speedsticks route as I'm too scared of cocking up my swing when I'm playing the best I ever have. But the main thing I have to remember is not to add speed by swinging the arms faster, as that's where it goes wrong. You need to move your body quicker and let the arms follow, which isn't that easy.
I suspect that any "ratio" was just the analysis of time measurements of selected players and many swings, with "3:1" likely being the median (most common). Doesn't mean it's right for any specific individual.
But keep working on it, it must be important!
Are those numbers in seconds? They look way faster.
