Swing Smoothly with the “1 and 2” Tempo Cue

Every golfer needs good tempo and rhythm. Here's a great swing cue from Erika Larkin to blend the transition from your backswing to your follow through.

Key Takeaways from Erika’s Lesson

Sync up your swing by counting to two with a little “and” in between to create a smoother transition and find the Tipping Point.
Feel the shaft getting up behind your head without cutting off the backswing.
Blend the movements together to avoid any sharp moments in your swing.
Most speed will happen through impact, so don’t force it and let your wrist respond to the tempo and body motion.
