Someone can have no tempo, no rhythm and still have a great time on a dance floor … that is not the case on a golf course tho. Tempo is everything! Let me explain!
On the right I attached 2 videos, the first of which I swing nice and easy, effortlessly bombing my Ben Hogan GS53 Max Driver with tempo…. The second video, Using the same club, I overswing, tempo all out of whack, and it shows in the result and my balance. In golf, you don’t muscle a ball, you don’t try and kill a ball, you swing with tempo, and crazy enough with tempo your ball goes FAR! It’s all in the mechanics and tempo! What do I mean by tempo, well, in a golf swing 100 things have to work together! I rounded down, but it’s true, every movement, every Inch, your center, your head, your chest, your hips, your legs, your club, your club face etc etc etc … with tempo alllllll of the above work together to complete a successful swing! The second you try to muscle the ball or go after it a little to much, none of the above work together, and becomes a messy out of whack unbalanced swing! Trust me try less and it’ll go further!
Yes, long drivers swing monster swings, but guess what, those monster swings have tempo that they work on daily, swing thousands of time, they aren’t just swinging hard! It’s a f’n art! I’ve tried to “Maurice Allen” the ball before and pretty sure it ended up one of the ugliest attempts ever while almost hurting myself! Let the long drive pros swing with 150MPH Tempo, you just swing your swing, IN TEMPO! Keep the bad tempo and rhythm for the dance floor!
