- Page 2 Temp oStik+ Introduction The TempoStik+ is an advanced Golf Training device that teaches putting rhythm, tempo and speed control While Metronomes provide timing cues for the takeaway and end of stroke positions, the TempoStik+ provides continuous detailed time-position cues throughout the putting stroke, using an ideal acceleration model. TempoStik+ allows a golfer to select a desired roll distance and the TempoStik+ computes a detailed backswing and downswing sequence for that distance.
- Page 3 Temp oStik+ The TempoStik+: • Depicts the dynamics of a putting stroke through a moving LED • Helps you train timing and rhythm • Teaches how to execute an “ideal model acceleration” profile for the putting stroke The Theory and Research behind the TempoStik+ The concepts that drive the TempoStik+ have emerged from over 20 years of research and collaboration between World Renowned Putting Coach Phil Kenyon and Golf Development Engineer Dean McConnell.
- Page 4 Temp oStik+ What is Tempo and Rhythm ? Many golf experts have differing definitions of tempo, rhythm and timing. Many say that tempo is the time from the start of the backswing to impact in seconds. Using this definition of tempo, two golfers with identical “tempos” of 1.2 seconds could have very different backswing and downswing to impact times.
- Page 5 Temp oStik+ Definition: Rhythm The relationship in time of one or more of the component parts. eg. Tempo of Backswing 800ms, tempo of downswing 400ms. Stroke Rhythm 2.0 This definition was also used by Science and Motion (SAM) who devised a system to measure and analyze putting dynamics called SAM Puttlab.

The phenomena can be appreciated through the Gravitational law of isochrony. This law states that pendulum swings of different lengths will always take the same time.
- Page 7 Temp oStik+ CoreTempo Relates to the time of the downswing to impact segment of the putting stroke Rhythm: Relates to the relationship between different segments of the putting. IE the relationship between the backswing and the downswing Swing Length: The length the club travels in the backswing Law of Isochrony: All strokes of different lengths take the same time Working with the TempoStik+...
- Page 8 Temp oStik+ However, in TempoStik+ Instead of expressing putting tempo as a backswing time in milliseconds and a downswing to impact time in milliseconds, TempoStik+ has developed a simpler definition. There are two key numbers we need to understand to use the TempoStik+ effectively: 1.
- Page 9 Temp oStik+ Power Up: Power up the TempoStik+ by plugging the micro USB plug into the TempoStik+ and the USB type-A connector into the USB power bank battery. (note: do not plug the cable into a USB receptacle of a PC or a wall powered USB jack.

- Page 11 Temp oStik+ Looking at Figure 2, we see the TempoStik+ App functions: 1. Connect App to TempoStik+ BLE connection button/indicator 2. Tempo setting buttons 3. Backswing Rhythm setting buttons 4. Distance setting buttons 5. Green Speed setting (Stimp) buttons 6. Green Slope setting (% grade) buttons 7.

Stimp (5): To enter Stimp in feet, press the Stimp up/down buttons until the desired speed is reached. Stimp has a range of 5.0 to 16.0 in 1/2 ft increments. Slope Percentage (6): To enter slope, press the Slope up/down pushbutton until the desired slope is reached.
- Page 13 Temp oStik+ Note: changing Putt/Rhythm mode can only be accomplished while the TempoStik+ has been stopped (RUNNING/STOPPED button showing “STOPPED”). Upon changing Putt/Rhythm mode, the Compute Backswing button (showing red) must be pressed to update parameters and compute the backswing length. Sound On/Off (8) Sound toggles between Sound OFF and Sound ON.
- Page 14 Temp oStik+ Run/Stop (12) After the backswing length has been computed and the Compute button is blue and not red, press the Run/Stop button to start the TempoStik+ sequence whether in Putt or in Rhythm mode. When the TempoStik+ is running, the Run/Stop button will be green and the label of the button will show “RUNNING”.

For putting strokes that require longer backswings (for longer distance putts), The TempoStik+ has an additional mode called the Extended Putting Stroke Mode.
