 One of the best golf books I've ever read, and so simple too December 21, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Great product as everyone else points out. Such a simple idea, yet so remarkably capable of fixing your swing. I didn't realize just how mush I was trying to muscle the club, rather then let my natural tempo and fluidity carry it. I'm the kind of person who needs a swing thought, but at the same time they make me stiff and awkward. But if my swing thought is tempo, i.e. proper speed back and through, I become much more free loose and less timid, the club glides along rather then feeling like I have to reroute it and muscle it back to the ball. Truly a great book.
 Tempo = pace and timing September 11, 2007

Novosel's book makes an excellent point about how having good tempo in your golf swing will produce many benefits. Many golf instruction books give lip service to the concept of tempo, but I don't think anybody has ever explained it like this before and provided a rhythm track for you to practice with. He debunks the old saw about "swing slow" or "slow down your swing" etc. and shows how a slow swing actually allows a lot of counterproductive and inefficient movements to creep into your swing. When you swing with good consistent tempo every time, as do most PGA players, you improve the efficiency of your swing and you improve the likelihood of hitting the ball the same way every time. Of course, you have to have decent swing mechanics as well, and this book does not purport to teach mechanics.
Tempo matters August 6, 2007

I think the author has made an important observation -- touring pros have a significantly quicker tempo than most amateurs, and most follow the same ratio of backswing time to downswing time. The author also offers a very simple chapter on mechanics, and some drills that helped me, and will probably help a lot of golfers. This book does not give you 300 new things to think about while you swing, which is good. Even those who have a quick tempo already may find this helps them be more consistent with their tempo, and hence more consistent with their shots. I am an athletic 54 year old near beginner, and this book has helped me already in the two weeks since i read it.

Did I ever need this book and cd. I have been slow to adopt the tempo to my game on the course because now all my clubs hit to long. If your swing gets in the right tempo so many bad habits disappear on their own and I finally feel the whiplash effect that your body creates with the proper tempo. My body is finally working as one. I was always happy with a 200 yard drive, now 250 is normal and my accuracy is better. On second thought don't buy this book I might have to out play you sometime.

Wow! The info in this book does exactly as stated. I now have a more consistent golf swing, my yardages are more consistent and from 100 yds and in I now have consistent spin enabling me to be much more accurate. On course corrections after that horrible swing are quite simple, tempo, tempo, tempo. Great info for golfers of all levels.
