How do i slow it all down?

[golfbluecustard]

Had a lesson yesterday and as i suspected the speed of my back swing was one of the main points that was raised.

Even consiously trying to take it away sloooowly was still too fast!

Has anyone else faced this and how did you resolve it ?

Pro suggested slowing it all the way down so i have to say Seve from take away to top of back swing was a good mental trick to try and use?

Been working on better tempo for some weeks now. My pro started me by saying "back" into the top of the backswing and "hit" as I struck the ball. It worked for me and is definitely paying dividends


Good luck

Instead of saying 'seve' on the backswing say 'severiano' instead...that will slow it down a bit more!

Play 100 shots with a half swing, make sure you keep it to a half swing and keep checking on your self.

If you are a fast type of person, trying to swing slowly would be wrong wrong wrong.
If you walk, talk, eat, drive fast, how can you play golf slowly?
Don't try and make the swing slow, try and make it smooth.
That way, you'll be more in control of the swing without it feeling awkward and slowwwwwww

Spoke about it before but Tour Tempo really works for me. It has three settings which will cover even the quickest of swings like me all the way through to long Couplesesque swing speeds.
