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.
Timing choices (backswing to downswing time ratio)

Your tempo
Good timing
Too slow
Too fast
To find your ideal swing timing, you should start with the slowest timing and try it for a few swings. When
the tempo graph is consistently green for both your backswing and downswing times, 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.
