The Swing Tempo Trainer is a golf metronome. It provides a way to achieve consistant and proper timing of your golf swing - the key to improving your game!.
A customizable timer gives audio alerts for the times of start, top, and point of contact, as well as a countdown to start of each swing. An animation of the position of the club head also provides visual feedback.
IPhone and IPod Touch versions have a "Pocket Mode" to lock your device.
It is highly customizable:
- Change the times for backswing and downswing.
- View / Edit the ratio between backswing and downswing.
- Save and name your favorite settings.
- Choose the time between strokes and how many audio alerts to play before beginning the next stroke.
- Provides built in presets for several golf pros (Tiger Woods,Ernie Els, Payne Stuwart), measured from their actual swings.
- Record a tempo by tapping on a button. This allows to you easily mimic a swing you see on video.
- Choose between several sounds (or silence) for each of the alerts.
Latest reviews of Swing Tempo Trainer app for iPhone and iPad
This is a good example of how a very basic, properly-written app can be all you need for something. In this case, golf swing tempo, which is critical to the game. Addictive to use and easy to monkey with the tempo, & compare with Woods & Els. Well done!
I have trouble maintaing consistent tempo during a round of golf but when I do my scores improve dramatically. With this app I can find a tempo that works for me on the range and check it periodically while I am playing. When practicing I put my phone at my feet and swing while watching the tempo symbol on the phone to get into a nice swing groove. While playing I can listen periodically to the tempo I want to maintain to be sure my swing is consistent. The app is easy to use and versatile to set up. Great tool for the price.
Really helped get my swing back on track. Very easy to use and great clean interface.
Mine closes after 1 to 3 swings. Maybe it doesnt work well on ios5. All my other programs are fine. Otherwise, its good and seems like it would be helpful.
1 week of practicing with this and Ive never hit the ball more consistently or with as much power. Best golf improvement tool Ive ever used. If you know what youre supposed to do but sometimes get too technical, this is for you.
