How the TempoStik+ can help fix a common issue I see with many golfers, and that is, slow timing during their putting stroke.
When your timing slows down, it can cause several problems in your putting stroke. If your backswing becomes too slow, you might end up swinging longer than necessary. In most cases, golfers with slow backswings struggle to maintain the correct acceleration in their stroke. They either speed up too much during the downswing or end up taking a longer stroke, which leads to a loss of control. This lack of control affects not only your speed but also your ability to keep the ball on the intended start line.
Having the right timing is key because it allows you to control your swing length more effectively. When your timing is consistent, you can better adapt to different putt types and distances, matching your swing length to the stroke you need.
When you open the TempoStik+ app, you’ll notice the default setting is set to 90 beats per minute (bpm) for the DSwing Tempo. This is the average downswing speed of a PGA Tour player. Along with this, the app uses a backswing-to-downswing rhythm ratio of 2:1 This means the backswing takes about 660 milliseconds, while the downswing takes around 330 milliseconds, resulting in a total stroke time of approximately one second.
It’s recommended to start with these default settings, especially if you already know that your timing tends to be too slow. Begin with the 90 bpm and rhythm setting of 2 as your baseline.
Once you press start on the TempoStik+ app and begin making practice swings, you’ll immediately notice if your timing is off. If your backswing is too slow, you’ll feel the difference right away. The app will help you realise how much quicker and more compact your backswing can be when you’re working at the right tempo.
When you speed up your backswing slightly, you’ll likely notice that it feels more compact. The great thing about TempoStik+ is that it provides both visual and audio cues to guide you through your backswing and downswing. As you improve your backswing sequence in terms of timing, swing length, and acceleration, your downswing will naturally start to align as well.
After a few practice swings with TempoStik+, start hitting some putts while following the timing cues. You’ll begin to feel a brisker, more compact stroke. Once you get comfortable with this new tempo, practice it across different putt types. Try it with longer putts and shorter putts to develop the feel of matching timing and swing length across varying distances.
The real challenge on the golf course is maintaining consistent timing while adjusting stroke length based on the distance and type of putt. If you’re someone who tends to get slow and long with your stroke, the TempoStik+ can help you develop a quicker tempo and better match your swing length to the putt at hand. Ultimately, this improvement will lead to better speed control and more consistent putting.
By practicing with the TempoStik+, you’ll enhance your putting tempo, making it easier to adapt to different putt lengths and types on the course.
The TempoStik+ is an effective tool for golfers looking to improve their putting tempo and overall stroke consistency. By addressing common issues such as slow timing, the device helps users develop a quicker, more compact backswing, which leads to better control over swing length and acceleration. With its visual and audio cues, the TempoStik+ guides golfers toward maintaining consistent timing across different putt types and distances.

Do the alignment lines on your putter enhance your accuracy, or could they be hindering your performance?
Most golfers use the lines on their putters to aim the face precisely along their chosen start line. This is especially common if you also use a line on your golf ball to assist with aiming. But have you ever considered whether these lines are actually benefiting you?
ou step up, address the ball with your putter, and make a smooth stroke, only to watch the ball veer off line like it had a mind of its own. You swear you aimed it right. But did you? For most golfers, the issue isn’t the stroke. It’s misalignment, starting the ball in the wrong direction from the very beginning.
Do you ever stand over a putt and second guess your read, only to watch the ball miss wide, breaking too much or not enough? You’re not alone. And there’s a chance, the problem isn’t your stroke, it’s the read.
Putting is often lost before the ball even moves. distance, slope (angle & gradient), grain and other factors can all influence how the ball rolls. If you misread those pieces of information, even a good stroke can send the putt off line.
