Not following me? A quick tutorial. My research (and a subsequent study by Yale scientists) proved that virtually all tour
golfers have the same tempo: a 3-to-1 elapsed-time ratio of backswing to forward swing, measured to impact. This ratio is
expressed in frames of broadcast-standard video — e.g., 27 frames to the top of the backswing and nine frames down to impact
for a relatively slow, Bobby Jones-type swing (a "27/9" in Tour Tempo parlance). Ernie Els in his prime was a 24/8. Jack
Nicklaus was a brisk 21/7. ****://img.timeinc.net/golf/i/tours/2010/07/p1-tiger-putter_298x378.jpg
You used to be a consistent 24/8, but when you switched coaches, your swing speed increased dramatically and your tempo got
ragged. At this year's Masters, you were four frames quicker on the backswing and two frames faster back to impact. That may
sound trivial, but the clubhead can travel three feet in one frame of downswing. Your British Open numbers weren't perfect —
you had a few six-frame downswings, which is ridiculously quick — but you hit the desired 3-to-1 tempo most of the time. Your
swing was smoother, and you hit the ball long and straight again. With the short stick, sad to say, you were the post¬scandal
Tiger. Two-to-one is the Tour-standard putting tempo, but your practice-green five-footers varied from 16/7 to 17/9. That left
you frustrated and grumpy. You even changed putters between rounds. Fortunately, for a player of your caliber, tempo is easy
to fix. All it takes is a video camera or a stopwatch (or my earbuds). A little work should restore your stroke, leaving you
in position to win your 15th major at Whistling Straits. But whatever happens, remember — I'll be counting on you.
