## What is Tour Tempo?

Used by beginners through Major Championship winners on the PGA Tour, and validated by an Independent Scientific Study by the Departments of Physics and Biomechanics at Yale University.

The Tour Tempo Total Game allows you to learn how to correctly integrate the Tempo of the Tour Pros into your golf swing. Over 100,000 golfers worldwide, including Major Championship winners on the PGA Tour, have improved their games by using Tour Tempo.  

"In all the reviews I've written for MyGolfSpy (a number now pushing up on 100), I'd only given one perfect score. Now Tour Tempo can be added to that most-elite company. Tour Tempo is scientifically proven, it's easy to use, and it will help you in every facet of the game." 
— GolfSpy Matt: http://www.mygolfspy.com/tour-tempo-review

"It will be the best thing that you will ever do for your game." 
— Pat Dempsey, 2011 RE/MAX World Long Drive Grand Champion 55+

"You will get better right away! When you synch your swing to that of the Tour Pros with Tour Tempo, you’ll get better right now!" 
— Dan Rooney, Folds of Honor

"The Unified Theory of Tempo" 
— Golf Digest 

"No one has ever come up with a way to teach Tempo until now."
— Travel + Leisure Golf 

Based on the international best selling golf book, Tour Tempo. The book outlines and explains the discovery of a specific mathematical ratio regarding the elapsed time of the backswing and the elapsed time of the downswing of the Tour Pros. The Tour Tempo System is simple and easy to learn. All you do is react to three scientifically spaced musical notes. These musical notes alert you to start your takeaway, start your downswing, and then the third note lines you up with impact. It’s just that easy - you literally download the app, turn it on, grab a club and start swinging to the Tempo of the Tour Pros.

LONG GAME
The Long Game Tones will teach you how to swing with the tempo ratio exhibited by the Tour Pros. We measured the time of their backswings and downswings by counting how many frames of video each part took. The magic ratio on full swings turned out to be three parts backswing to one part downswing. Tones are provided for each of the following frame ratios of Tour Tempo - 18/6, 21/7, 24/8 & 27/9. The Tour Tempo Tones have a clear purpose. They establish the intrinsic tempo of the golf swing in your subconscious mind. Once this is accomplished, you will not have to think about tempo while playing. This is what the Tour Pros have already done. You are about to acquire that same ability.

SHORT GAME
The Total Game App also contains the Short Game Tones of 14/7, 16/8, 18/9 & 20/10. After the publication of Tour Tempo, John Novosel studied the short game swings of the top touring pros, and discovered that virtually all of them employ a 2 to 1 swing ratio on or around the greens - a different Tempo than the 3 to 1 ratio of the Long Game. This is another reason why the game of golf is so hard to master.      

TEMPO TRACKS
The Tempo Tracks are an easy way to integrate Tour Tempo into your daily routine. One of the best ways to use the Tracks is to listen to them while driving to the course before a round of golf. The more you listen to them, the more the Tour Tempo rhythm will be ingrained into your Golf Swing. 

FOCUS TRACKS
The Focus Tracks are revolutionary relaxation songs that contain the Tones of Tour Tempo. Each Track has a Part II that has binaural tones embedded in the music to get your brain into an optimum state for concentration. This optimum state is more commonly known to athletes as “Being in the Zone.”

VIDEOS
The videos give a complete explanation of the Tones and how to use them to immediately and dramatically improve your Total Game.

### 5/5 — Great App!!

*2026-08-24*

Tour Tempo is a game-changer for anyone struggling with swing timing. It breaks tempo down into simple, easy-to-follow steps instead of drowning you in technical jargon, and I’ve noticed real gains in consistency since using it. Highly recommend for any golfer looking to dial in their timing without the headache

### 5/5 — Contact with developer

*2026-07-31, version 4.5.6*

I had purchased the book and CD many years ago and the app as well.  The app somehow disappeared and they generously gave me a code to re-establish my subscription.   Thx

### 2/5 — Offline use please!

*2026-06-12*

I’ve used this app for over a year and it has been great! But recent updates added a force login process to the app, which makes this app complete UNUSABLE at my range with NO NETWORK coverages!  Please, at least add an OFFLINE button when the login times out? I’m sure there will be many people using this app in simulator room with poor network and may suffer the same issue. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Hangs on loading

*2026-06-12, version 4.5.4*

I’ve been a long time user - now when I open the app I get an infinite spinner. Cmon guys…

### 2/5 — loading issues

*2026-06-09, version 4.5.3*

love the concept but the app hangs when i try to open it. bummer

### 5/5 — Simple… exactly what I needed

*2026-04-04*

After 4 months without playing over the winter my game was in shambles. Heard about Tour Tempo on the Chasing Scratch pod and downloaded it. It’s simple but man does it work. Way more consistent contact with both the long and short game thanks to the different tones. I tried out a faster tempo than I was used to and immediately gained 4.5mph max clubhead speed. First time ever cracking 110 and I’ve done no other speed work in 6+ months. I don’t normally condone witchcraft, but in this case I’ll allow it. Big thanks to John and the team at Tour Tempo!

### 5/5 — First round- finally broke 80

*2026-03-02, version 4.3.9*

First time I ever had the bright idea to bring this app to the course, I broke 80 (78). 
I had been chasing it for a year. I knew it was in range because I have a sim at home, been grinding getting a lot of swings but the course it would break down. 
My coach said tempo and rhythm are the only things that matter on game day but his “one two hit four five” thing didn’t really lock it in for me. 

Found the 27/9 to be my speed and first round out there with it in my ear I tagged 12 GIR

Super cool

### 1/5 — £25 is a con

*2025-12-16*

Very few apps in the Apple Store catch you out the way this one did. Most apps allow you to try them first for a short period before committing to purchase. Within mins, I could see this app was poor but when I tried to have it refunded - computer said no, or Apple that is. Store quality is deteriorating these past years.

### 5/5 — If you golf, you need to buy this

*2025-12-14*

The concept of tempo seems elusive, until you use this app. After one session, I was already hitting the ball way better. I now use this at the driving range every time I practice. This is one of the best things I’ve ever found in Golf.

### 5/5 — Tour Tempo

*2025-11-24*

The Tour Tempo app has completely transformed the way I practice and play. I always knew tempo mattered, but this app finally gave me a simple, reliable way to train it. The tones make it easy to lock into a consistent rhythm, and once I started using it, my swing immediately felt smoother and more athletic.

What surprised me most is how quickly the results showed up on the course — better contact, better sequencing, and far more consistency from round to round. It takes the guesswork out of timing and gives you something you can trust under pressure.

Whether you’re a scratch player or just trying to get better, this app is worth every penny. One of the most effective golf tools I’ve ever used
