Swing Tempo

The swing tempo app helps you perform a more consistent
swing. The device measures and displays your backswing time
and downswing time. The device also displays your swing
tempo. Swing tempo is the backswing time divided by the
downswing time, expressed in a ratio. A 3 to 1 ratio, or 3.0, is
the ideal swing tempo based on studies of professional golfers.

The Ideal Swing Tempo

You can achieve the ideal 3.0 tempo 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. Garmin provides six different timings.
The device displays a graph that indicates if your backswing or
downswing times are too fast, too slow, or just right for the
selected timing.
