If you head out to your local driving range, you will see tons of people listening to music while they are practicing hitting balls. If you go to a PGA event and head to the range, you will also see the pros practicing while listening to music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That begs the question\u2026 what are the listening to? And\nbetter yet, is that music helping their tempo, rhythm and timing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer to if the golf music is helping is 100% NO! Each\nsong in your playlist has a different BPM (beats per minute) and that is not\nhelping your tempo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early 2000\u2019s when the iPod came out this same exact\nquestion came to Doug Timmons. At that point he had been teaching golf and\nstarted to notice more and more golfers were practicing with golf music. Doug\nloves music and out of curiosity would ask what golf music they were listening\nto. Of course, this music ranged from hip hop to rock to pop and everything\nelse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But all the music had one thing in common. And that was it\nwas not helpful to the golfer\u2019s rhythm, tempo and timing. And as an instructor\nthe main issue in his teaching was, he could never consistently teach students\nhow to develop perfect tempo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Doug created \u201cGolf BPM\u201d golf music. Golf BPM is an App\nsimilar to Pandora with stations and playlists with one gigantic difference.\nAll the golf music is tailored to help golfers of all levels develop perfect\nrhythm, tempo and timing in their golf swing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to golf music compare what the pros are doing\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, let\u2019s look at Rickie Fowler. Our swing analysis of\nRickie shows that he hits at 184 beats per minute. In a \u201cGolf Digest\u201d online article\nRickey listed four songs he loves to listen to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. “Wake Me Up,” Avicii \u2013 124 BPM\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. “Radioactive,” Imagine Dragons \u2013 136 BPM\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. “Mockingbird,” Eminem \u2013 84 BPM\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. “Take You Higher, Goodwill \u2013 128 BPM\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, here is Rory Mcilroy list from the same article.\nRory swings at 156 BPM\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. “Wake Me Up” Avicii – 124 BPM’s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. “Under Control” Calvin Harris – 126 BPM’s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. “Sweet Nothing” Calvin Harris – 128 BPM’s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. “Can’t Hold Us” Macklemore – 146 BPM’s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I\u2019ll concede that both Rickie and Rory certainly have\nbetter musical taste than me but their music selection from a beats per minute perspective\nis all over the map. Not to mention that the BPM\u2019s are at a much slower pace than\ntheir actual swing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s interesting to see that with all the technical advances\nin golf that even the best pro players are not effectively using music correctly.\nThink about that\u2026 if you find that you swing at 184 BPM\u2019s then all you have to\ndo is find music in that range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are two options you have for finding perfect golf music\nfor your swing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf BPM Music App: First, Golf BPM will also help you\ndetermine your perfect swing BPM when register on the App. Then all the golf\nmusic has three distinct beats and a voice prompts. Golfers just pick a\nstation, club (driver, 5-iron, etc.) and then put in their headphones and time\ntheir swing to the music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second thing you can do is once you know your BPM you can\nthen download an iTunes add-on called: \u201cBPM Detection\u201d. With this add-on you\ncan see and order all your songs in iTunes by BPM. Then you can create your own\ngolf music playlist at your exact BPM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Golf BPM App and the BPM Detection add-on you now have a fast and simple solution to having perfect, tailored golf music to practice to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
