The device measures and displays your backswing time and downswing time. The device also displays your swing tempo. Swing tempo is the backswing time divided by the downswing time, expressed in a ratio. A 3 to 1 ratio, or 3.0, is the ideal swing tempo based on studies of professional golfers. 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.
