227 – Tour Tempo Matters! – John Novosel Jr. Interview

Tour Tempo Matters!John Novosel Jr. Interview Welcome to Episode 227 of THE Golf Improvement Podcast! Dedicated to sharing useful information on professional club fitting, putting and short game improvement, and effective practice techniques. CHANGING GOLFER'S LIVES - ONE GOLFER AT A TIME!Show Notes:Interview with John Novosel Jr. - John and his father discovered - roughly 20 years ago - the amazing concept of Tour Tempo - which has value for golfers who want to improve their full swing and short game performance.John shares some of the interesting details about how he and his father discovered how a 3 to 1 full swing tempo is what the best players in the world use.He discusses his Tour Tempo Total Game app, and the meaning of the Tour Tempo Long Game Tones - such as 18/6 up to 30/10.John talks about some of the biggest myths that golfers have about their full swing tempos - and some of his evidence that golfers can achieve significant swing improvements by creating full swings that are close to a 3 to 1 tempo.The Tour Tempo 2 book - published in 2012 - has a lot of focus on effective Short Game Tempos - which are more like 2 to 1. John discusses how he made this discovery, and why Short Game Tempos are different than those for full swings.He shares what golfers should do to jump into learning about THEIR full swing and short game tempos - and how they can learn how to experiment and change them - with often amazing results!
