Mastering Speed Control with TempoStik+ An Introductory Guide by Phil Kenyon

The Common Problem: Poor Speed Control
In my 25 years of coaching, one of the most common issues I’ve encountered is poor speed control. Many golfers struggle with consistently leaving putts short or hitting them too long, and they’re often unsure why this happens. This can lead to frustration, more three-putts, and higher scores. The underlying causes vary from player to player, but they often come down to poor concepts and a lack of understanding of individual issues.

Learning from the Best
I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some of the best players in the world, and one thing they all have in common is excellent speed control. Over the years, I’ve been able to observe and measure what makes these world-class players so consistent, as well as identify what holds back golfers who struggle. This experience and insight have all gone into developing the TempoStik+.

Mastering Speed Control with TempoStik+ An Introductory Guide by Phil Kenyon
The TempoStik+ is designed to address the key factors every golfer needs to master and develop better speed control. These factors include:

1. Consistent Rhythm and Timing: Timing refers to how long it takes to complete a specific part of the stroke, such as the backswing or the time from the top of the backswing to impact. Consistent timing across all putt distances is crucial, yet many golfers aren’t even aware of how inconsistent their timing might be. Rhythm, on the other hand, is the ratio between your backswing time and downswing time. This rhythm should remain consistent no matter the length of the putt. The TempoStik+ provides visual cues through a series of lights that guide you in maintaining consistent timing and rhythm.
2. Adjustable for Different Putt Lengths and Green Speeds: The TempoStik+ is versatile enough to adapt to different putt lengths and green speeds. You can fine-tune it based on the conditions you’re practicing in, making it a highly effective training tool.
3. Unique Acceleration Profile: One of the standout features of the TempoStik+ is its built-in acceleration profile, modelled from the best players in the world. Through extensive research, we’ve identified how top golfers control their acceleration during the stroke, avoiding excessive acceleration at impact. The TempoStik+ visually represents this ideal acceleration profile, helping you learn how to control your stroke more effectively.

Practicing with the TempoStik+
Using the TempoStik+ during practice sessions will help you master three critical areas:
1. Timing Control: You’ll learn how to maintain consistent timing, which is essential for consistent results.
2. Swing Length Control: As you move from shorter to longer putts and adjust for different green speeds and across different slope such as uphill and downhill slopes, you’ll gain better control over the length of your stroke.
3. Rhythm Development: The TempoStik+ helps you develop a consistent rhythm, which is key to excellent speed control. When combined with the right acceleration profile, this rhythm becomes the foundation for world-class putting.

Training for Real-World Results
Practicing with the TempoStik+ on the green, across various putt lengths, will help you train more accurately and effectively. By focusing on timing, rhythm, and acceleration, you’ll develop the kind of speed control that top players rely on. This tool is designed to help you achieve world-class putting performance by honing the same elements that make the best players so consistent.

If you’re looking to take your putting to the next level, the TempoStik+ is a powerful tool that can transform your speed control and improve your overall performance on the greens.
