Tempo drills

[tibs]

Hi,

I tend to attack the ball too early in my downswing and was wondering if anyone had come across some good range drills aimed at developing a good tempo.

Cheers

Hum when your swinging for a nice smooth swing, just make sure your out of hearing range from any one else, you get some very strange looks at the range doing it.

try hit the ball 10 yards less. i know it sounds mad but it encourages you not to kill the ball

Count, I have, 1 & 2 on the upswing, 3 on the start of the downswing and 4 when I accellerate had into it.

Say to yourself 'Marilyn' on the way back and 'Monroe' on the way through - jobs a good un.

Think of the downswing differently. The goal in your mind shouldn't be to hit the ball hard it should be to conserve energy. Thinking this way will help you hold your power till its needed at impact.

try keeping the downswing the same pace as the takeaway and try to line the grip up with the centre of the left thigh at impact. this should help to stop the upper body out racing the lower body.
