There has\nto be a better way<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As an instructor I have always wanted a tool to use to teach\nmy students how to repeat their rhythm tempo and timing. I used various methods;\nI\u2019ve found that a metronome was close but still not what I was looking for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is when Golf BPM was created, I worked with \u201cThe App\nMan\u201d Jeremy Callahan and various music producers to create an app that helps\nyou with your rhythm, tempo and timing. Golf BPM can be used on and off the\ngolf course, making it fun and effective to use while practicing, playing or\neven just listening casually while driving in your car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just think of all the different things going on around you\nwhile driving, if you had music that you could listen to that had tones that\nmatch your perfect rhythm, tempo and timing it would be almost as effective as\nactually hitting at the range. Instead of wasting timing doing nothing in the\ncar except for getting mad at the traffic and all of the horrible drivers you\nactually be doing something to help your golf game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the\nPros Say About Tempo<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sir Nick\nFaldo<\/strong> was quoted saying that rhythm, tempo and timing is the glue\nthat holds every great golf swing together and as a coach I couldn\u2019t agree\nmore. The more you can ingrain that flow in your mind, the easier it will be to\nrepeat when you get into close match or coming down the stretch in a tournament\nor casual round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sam Snead<\/strong> is said\nto have had one of the most graceful swings in the history of golf, he has been\nquoted saying that he would whistle a waltz tune while playing and this what\nhelped him to keep perfect rhythm, tempo and timing under the heat of the\nbattle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jimmy\nDemart<\/strong> put out some instructional records that helped you\nunderstand how to use music as a tool for your golf swing. There are so many\ndifferent sayings and counting methods that you can use while swinging the club\nthat can help you get your tempo going but now you can have music that is made\nspecifically for you in mind.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music\nMakes Your Body Move<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Music and tones have a powerful effect on most brains,\ndifferent sounds and rhythms create certain responses. Music has the ability to\ntake you to a certain frame of mind and provokes a certain mood or feeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music we have built is all original and is designed in a\ncertain format and certain BPM\u2019s that allows your mind be at ease while\nlistening. We want the golfer to be able to zone out and get lost in the rhythm\nof the music, using the tones and\/or the counts to guide you on your journey to\ncreating a repetitive golf swing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have done a lot of research and have spent countless hours\nreading about the effects sounds have on your mind. Not only do we use certain\ntones but all tones are timed to the best swings on the PGA Tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching Golf Tempo With Music<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best part about the Golf BPM is that through all of our\ntesting with various levels of golfer we found that it is fun and effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a fellow golf instructor, Golf BPM is also a great\ntraining aid to use during lessons or during junior clinics. You will find your\nstudents will love it and the kids will bug you to turn the music back on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those that didn\u2019t understand the importance of music and\nthe tone\/counts prior to listening they sure understood after five minutes of\nplaying with the app. We found that all of the students and\/or juniors that\nlistened to the music with the voice counts on, quickly got themselves in a perfect\nrhythm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The voice counts and\/or tones will also help all golfers with\nthe rhythm of their pre shot routine, the way they walk to the ball, set up to\nthe ball, look down the line and the starting of the overall swing. The goal is\nto get yourself moving to the BPM that best fits your swing tempo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\nto Choose a Swing Speed (BPM)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finding the BPM that best fits your swing is fun and can also\nbe challenging. We recommend starting with selecting driver to five iron and\nthen choose the 144 BPM, you will immediately discover if this is too fast or\ntoo slow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you feel it is too slow, try and sync up with the\ncounts\/tones, get some confidence going and then if you want to explore please\ndo so. We have found that moving up in the BPM\u2019s will help increase your club\nhead speed also. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also like to use the 126 BPM for a good foundation to get\neverything moving smoothly at the beginning of a practice session. We have not\nreally seen a pattern except that the younger more advanced players love to try\nand swing at the fastest BPM (184 BPM\u2019s). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love the fact that we have built a training aid that will really help golfers of all levels improve their rhythm, tempo and timing which will help them improve their overall game.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n
