Perfect Timing For Your Golf Swing


Waltz time was invented to "time" the perfect golf swing! Waltz Time, ----"times" your golf swing like an Offenhauser running at Indy.

A great old time favorite waltz tune, that every red blooded American knows, is "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME!" The meter for the song should be nice and slow like you would expect on a hot July afternoon at Yankee Stadium. See link at the bottom of this post, courtesy Elaine McLellan.

Here's the magic in how it works: Following the lyrics, do this:

Take me....for the back swing.
Out...for the forward swing.
To the ball game...some time at the finish and getting ready for your next swing.

Then again:
Take me....for the back swing.
Out...for the forward swing.
To the crowd...some time at the finish and getting ready for your next swing.

Then:
Buy me some....back swing
Peanuts.... forward swing....etc...

If you can pipe the music into your backyard...good for you and the neighbors. If not, a mini recorder, Ipod, or whatever should work fine. OR, you can just hear the song in your head and swing with PERFECT RHYTHM. Your swing will purr like a Persian Kitty.

I truly wish that all golf instructors would approach golf instruction with the humor, insight, respect and desire to keep things as simple as possible, like Jim does. Take Me Out to the Ball Game, has been a great way for me to keep my tempo and timing

Another proof that perfect timing get maximun driving distance. The magic number of 300 yards!!. It is a commercial but the esence is maybe true. Switch on the phones to listen the Blue Danube (waltz times). Tiger is doing your three main factors: look the high backswing, the high follow-thru and the head.

ETW understands the rhythm of the classic golf swing & it's there for all to "steal". Interesting that he copied "my" music! Should I sue?
