Timing:
Timing in a golf swing is very important and rarely understood. Our purpose is to time the unleashing of power into the golf ball, while trying to square the club head. Not an easy task. To put it simply, if the lower hand on the club does not turn over soon enough, the club head will open and produce a slice. If on the other hand it turns over too early, the club head will shut resulting in a hook.
Once you understand the importance of timing, and that it is impossible to hit a straight shot every time, and if your timing is a little ahead or behind, you will see the variance in ball flight previously discussed.
Tempo:
Tempo refers to the speed of your swing and is the key to good timing. When you are swinging well, and in balance your tempo will be smooth and rhythmic. Tempo effects timing, if you swing too slow or too fast, your timing will be thrown off.
Remember to work on both your Tempo & Timing next time you visit the practice range, you will be amazed at how much better the results will be, and how easily you will control your shots.
See you next week!
