SwingBeats: Golf Tempo trains the one thing tour players share: tempo. Pick your club — chip, pitch, irons, driver, or putter — press play, and swing to a three-tone beat (Start… Top… Impact) tuned to the measured rhythms of tour players — 3:1 for the full swing, 2:1 for the short game and putting.
