Setting the Roll Factor

The device calculates your shot distance using carry plus roll.
The roll factor varies due to differences in balls, clubs, and
surface conditions, as well as ball spin and launch angle. These
factors cannot be detected by the device. If you are not getting
the distance result you expect, you can adjust the roll factor.

About Tempo Tones

During tempo training, the device sounds audible tones to help
you achieve the ideal swing tempo. Three beeps repeat
continuously. The first beep indicates when you should start
your backswing. The second beep indicates when you should
start your downswing. The third beep indicates when you should
hit the ball.

The Ideal Swing Tempo

You can achieve the ideal 3.0 swing tempo by using different
swing timings. For example, 0.7 sec./0.23 sec. or 1.2 sec./0.4
sec. Each golfer may have a unique swing tempo based on their
ability and experience.
To find your ideal swing tempo, you should start with the slowest
timing and try it for a few swings. When your swing tempo is
consistent with the tempo goal, you can move up to the next
timing. When you find a timing that is comfortable, you can use it
to achieve more consistent swings and performance.
