Tempo is the glue

[jclark]

Ok, so I haven't been on lately. I went awhile without swinging a club too. The reason is I had a brain anneurysm and have been laid up in a hospital bed. I finally get out and slowly recover. The doctor finally clears me for physical activity, AT MY OWN PACE! So I go to the range to hit balls. I found out that if I swing to hard, and try to kill it, my head will pound from the straining and tensing. If I swing smooth and focus on tempo I hit the ball solid and far. So I got instant feedback! I call it the anneurysm drill! I heard someone say you can do everything right in the golf swing and have bad tempo and have poor results. Do everything wrong and have good tempo and have a chance! I don't know how true this is but I do know to me that tempo is the most important thing in MY swing.

Glad you are back and feeling better.

Fantastic news that you are feeling better. What an interesting side effect of that injury. I bet that your tempo will end up being the hallmark of your swing.

Glad you are on the mend, best wishes.

Best wishes on a speedy recovery!

I find much the same thing with tempo and timing.
