About Tempo Tones During tempo training, the device sounds audible tones to help you achieve the ideal swing tempo. Three beeps repeat continuously. The first beep indicates when you should start your backswing. The second beep indicates when you should start your downswing. The third beep indicates when you should hit the ball. The Ideal Swing Tempo You can achieve the ideal 3.0 swing tempo by 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. To find your ideal swing tempo, you should start with the slowest timing and try it for a few swings. When your swing tempo is consistent with the tempo goal, 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.
