Why this drill

What this drill fixes

Tempo and sequencing is the rhythm that holds your swing together under pressure. When you rush, lose your sequence, or change timing on important shots, everything breaks down at the worst possible moment. Tempo drills build a repeatable, pressure-proof rhythm so your swing holds up when it counts. Part of TeeBetter's Tempo & Sequencing training.

COACH TIPS
  • Professionals will rarely be hitting 100% maximum output on approach shots. Approach shots are about controlling distance and hotting a club which can easily get to the correct yardage.
  • Many amateurs say things like "I can hit my 8 iron 140 yards". Yes you may be able to 1 out of 5 shots when struck perfectly with almost 100% output, but how much easier is it to hit an easy 7?

FAQ

Common questions about Tempo & Sequencing drills

How do I stop rushing my swing?

Rushing usually comes from a fast transition — the split second between your backswing and downswing. Tempo and sequencing drills train you to pause, load properly, and start the downswing from the ground up. This creates a repeatable rhythm that holds under pressure. Practice with a par so you have a goal for every session.

What's a good range drill for tempo?

Ladder drills (swing 50%, 75%, 100%) and tempo challenges with a pause or a fixed number of balls. TeeBetter's tempo and sequencing challenges give you a par to beat and a clear scoring method so every session has a goal and a result you can track over time.
