Every golfer needs to find the best tempo for them!!

A fast swing tempo or a smoother swing tempo is reliant of one determining factor....

how strong and fast that player can move his body and club beyond impact and to the finish of the swing.

Two of the fastest swings to achieve great success have been displayed by Nick Price and Ben Hogan.

Why could they swing with such speed and control -yet still be regarded as premier

shotmakers and ballstrikers when most people who swing with such a fast tempo have poor results?

One of the major goals as far as releasing the club down and into impact is to not stop the body during the release process.

If the body can keep moving in unison with the release then the golfer will have a much greater chance of hitting a solid straighter shot.

My 4:30 release logic is the ultimate tool to get this movement to become part of our swing.

You almost wont be able to not move when you do it correctly.

Even though the strike has happened well before this point of the swing, everything happens for a reason.

We can actually learn a lot about what came before in the swing from viewing the finish.

The image of Greg Norman above shows an area of the swing that I named PV5- The 5th major position of the swing I like to see to assist my students.

The club is vertical into the follow through and ready to be now folded to a finish that is assumed based on the personal style of the golfer themselves.

In Norman's case he wrapped the club shaft onto his back and then recoiled the club and hands and arms back out in front of him to a relaxed state.

This PV5 position of the swing really shows how much pressure is still intact in a golfers hands and body and especially how much pressure has been maintained on the shaft.

The longer pressure is maintained in a golf swing, the greater feel and control the golfer will tend to have with the shot they played.
