Rory vs Tiger

I'd like to wish my friend, Wayne Defrancesco the best of luck today as he tees it up in the Senior PGA Championship.

Here's an interesting comparison by Wayne:

  1. Wayne, thanks for another great video. I have been teaching pivot compression for over 20 years and love to hear you talk about it. Though it seems you have a model that you like the most I believe you also have an eye for how golfers perform it in differing manners.

  2. On another note. When viewing a golfers routine I feel it is important for them to understand his or her internal rhythm and cadence. Great players walk through their routines in cadence when playing their best. I test to see if a golfer's internal rhythm is a 2, 3, 4, 5 or more beat rhythm. Most golfers own either 3, 4 or 5 beat rhythms. Then I watch to see how they implement it in their routines. I have a 3 beat rhythm. It takes me 3 beats to walk up to the ball, 3 more to address it and 3 more to lock in to the target and 3 more settle in and pull the trigger. That is 12 beats starting with my first step. cont'd

  3. Golfers with 4 beat rhythms commonly have 4 cycles of 4 beats before pulling the trigger, however some have only 3 and some have 5. Golfers with 5 beat rhythms commonly have 3 or 4 cycles. The key is to cycle the rhythmic beats and that is what makes it a cadence. I even notice that when golfers are on the process of swinging is competed in one more cycle, then as the watch the shot there is another cycle right up to the ball landing. Then I have my golfers watch the ball come to rest with one more cycle. That makes sure the whole shot routine is performed in cadence. You can even observe players like Fred Couples walking the course in cadence.
