Jim McLean says "The Swing Speed Radar with Tempo Timer is the most Affordable, Portable instrument available for measuring Clubhead Speed and Actual Tempo Time. We use it at ALL of our Golf Schools to provide golfers Immediate Feedback on their swing improvements!"
The new Swing Speed Radar™ with Tempo Timer was chosen as a candidate for Sports Product of the Year by a panel of SPORTS EDGE Magazine judges and was successfully introduced at The Super Show 2005, managed by the SPORTING GOODS M'F'RS ASS'N. Measuring clubhead swing speed and ACTUAL tempo time, from takeaway to ball contact, the Swing Speed Radar with Tempo Timer is two instruments in one. It is inexpensively priced at only $149.95, plus S & H.

The Swing Speed Radar™ with Tempo Timer is a small, inexpensive microwave Doppler radar velocity sensor that provides the swing speed and tempo rhythm for golfers of all ages and skill levels. It assists players in developing /optimizing their swing, and maintaining consistency, by measuring ACTUAL TEMPO TIME from club takeaway to ball impact at the climax of their forward swing, as well as the SWING SPEED of the clubhead as it approaches the ball. The Swing Speed Radar™ with Tempo Timer, featuring simple one-button operation, provides unmatched utility in a single, affordable device.
Clubhead speed and tempo are two significant characteristics of a golfer’s swing that must be optimized and controlled if the golfer is to consistently achieve his/her best ball-striking results. Expensive launch monitors costing thousands of dollars, primarily used by well-funded clubmakers, instructors, or pro golfers, generally include these two vital parameters in their measurement systems. However, less expensive devices for use by most instructors, clubmakers, and by the golfing public are limited in utility. Conventional swing speed meters can be inconsistent, unreliable, and complicated to use. Some even require attachments to the club that can change the club swing dynamics. Metronome-type devices can provide tempo time models for the golfer to try to emulate, but the resulting tempo time can only be estimated by comparisons with the model.
The Swing Speed Radar™ with Tempo Timer can be set to measure and display clubhead swing speed alone (SS Mode); tempo time, from club takeaway to ball impact, alone (TT Mode); or both swing speed and tempo time in the Dual Mode, in which the display toggles (alternates) between swing speed and tempo time.
The Swing Speed Radar™ with Tempo Timer is the practical choice of clubmakers and instructors who want the flexibility and convenience of use in the field as well as at their home-based hitting stations. It can be used by golfers of all ages and skill levels, at home or at their practice facilities, as they strive to optimize their swing mechanics and rhythm for their best distance, control, consistency and accuracy.
When practicing at home, in the backyard, or in areas where actual balls cannot be hit, it is best to use a practice ball "target" to obtain swing speeds that correspond directly to those of hitting an actual golf ball. The practice target provides a point to focus the release of the clubhead. Many golfers experience a slower swing speed without a practice target on which to precisely focus. Plastic and sponge balls are often used for practice, but the new Birdie Ball provides the feel and trajectory characteristics of an actual golf ball. Check outwww.birdieball.comfor more information on this unique practice aid.
Golfers need to determine the tempo time that best suits their swing rhythm. John Novosel, in his best selling book "Tour Tempo",www.tourtempo.com points out that most Pro Tour Golfers have tempo times within the range of 0.9 to 1.2 seconds. Ben Jackson, Owner and Head Instructor at the New England Golf Academy, www.benjacksongolf.com emphasizes the trend for the new, young Tour Pros of today is for faster tempo times. In Ben's words, "Speed is the new frontier!" (Tempo time and swing speed!) Check out your tempo time and swing speed and see where you fit in!!
One of the most significant problems that many amateur golfers have is shifting their weight in conjunction with their down swing. There is a strong tendcy to "hang back" too long on the rear foot. Proper weight shift allows the forward motion/rotation of their body to apply maximum energy to the ball at contact. Correct weight shift mechanics can increase swing speed and ball distance significantly, as well as facilitating straighter, more consistent shots. Watch the rear heel of the pros during their swing!! A new product, RU Late™, provides a golfer with immediate feedback by which "hanging back" can be identified and corrected. Using the SSRTT and the RU Late™ together proves the importance of proper weight shift for increasing swing speed and ball distance. Check out the product web sitewww.rulate.org for more information.
The next page of this web site is a chart of ball carry distance relative to clubhead swing speed! Most of the data for this page has come from Tom Wishon--please check out his web site www.wishongolf.com and his informative e-newsletter TWGT Technology. Tom's book, "The Search for the Perfect Golf Club" is a best seller and should be read by all serious golfers, those trying to improve their game, and those who just enjoy the great game of golf!! His Golf Ball Trajectory Modelling Software, and inexpensive Launch Angle Mat are informative tools for all golfers working on improving their swing and optimizing their equipment for best ball-striking performance.
