This week Golf Smarter Mulligans episode #219, is called “Why You Don't Swing Like a Pro and How to Change It” with John Novasel of Tour Tempo. For years, John was telling anyone who listened that the best players in the world all had the same 3:1 swing tempo, no matter how fast they would swing a club. Finally, researchers at Yale University proved his theories to be correct. Since this episode was published in 2011, host Fred Greene still incorporates what he learned about the 3:1 swing tempo from the Tour Tempo app 12 years later! This is part1 of 2.
