How to do it
Set a metronome app to a slow, comfortable tempo.
Start the backswing on the first beat and arrive at the top around the third beat.
Start the downswing immediately after and strike the ball near the next beat.
Hit balls to this rhythm until the timing feels automatic.
Goal
Use an external, objective beat to slow a habitually rushed backswing.
Feel cue
Feel the backswing stretch across the beats rather than rushing to beat the metronome.
Mistake to avoid
Speeding up the downswing to compensate instead of just slowing the backswing.
