But it is not 3 times longer!!!!! It is only 2 times!!!

Wow I'm a total idiot, all this time I thought 1 second is 3 times longer than a 1/3 a second.................

If you looked at my visual aid I created you will see that the audio clips tour tempo uses DOES NOT have the transition to impact starting at one second. It starts early.

Right, I said I used that as an exaggeration for a round number. Ernie Els in the Golf Magazine article is .8 seconds and .26.

Ok, that's a bad example because that is a 3.25:1 ratio. No wonder Ernie struggles. I'm only joking, I know that it is not an exact 3:1, but the closer the better. Using the audio they provide you will swing in a 2:1 ratio if you time it exactly to the music.

Are you not looking at the ticks? Clearly there are 10 at the end and 20 at the beginning. Which is .83333333 seconds (beginning) and .4166666666 seconds (end).

I mean just keep in mind John wrote this book in 2004, it was one of the highest selling instructional books of all time, then he re-evaluated his study and got an independent study from Yale University to verify his original findings, all the while being published in various publications, oh and that 2 to 1 ratio for is now suggested for shortgame shots, so maybe that's what you're listening to I have no idea. But when you're hawking tones from his site and ignoring the Yale study and the Golf Magazine article (not to mention the fact you didn't even buy this stuff) I'm not sure what to tell you.

The file I "hawked" was a 24-8 file.

Why would I buy any of the stuff when the audio files are wrong?

The study is correct, the audio files are incorrect.

Each beat has an up and a down. I think he is just starting his count with a down beat instead of an up


(one and two and three) ( and four and ) is clearly not 3:1. But if you start with a down beat you get:

(and one and two and three) (and four), which is 3:1

It makes sense if you start with the down beat. After all, it'd be hard to hear if you were trying to listen for the "ands" that would be in between tones.

Anyway, just my thoughts

Like others have said, the beats may not be precisely 3:1.

So, the idea is that everyone will be late and never notice that they are late, therefore using it correctly?

I think he is right here. I believe the book tells you not to anticipate the beats, react to them. I am no musician, but I believe this is correct.

WHAT??? You have been arguing this whole time and you know that the audio files are 2:1?

Read his original post, the only thing he questioned was the audio files actually teaching a 2:1 ratio, which you have been arguing that they are 3:1.

So what if the post should have read, "Tour Tempo audio files are teaching a 2:1 ratio!!!!!!!!"

Also a musician and noticed this same problem with the tracks when the book came out (yes, I bought it and listened to the tracks on the CD back then, but could not use them). I liked the video frame analysis explanation, and applaud the author for his research. But the tempo tracks WERE different from the video ratios.

If we're talking TEMPO, we're talking about a critical element of music. Musicians count silently in their heads or otherwise keep time in some other way, and the "downbeat" is on "1" so everyone starts at the same time in their counting. You could count from 0 to 3 if you wanted, but it's not done that way in music notation. The absence of a beep does not stop the counting.

If there are breaks in the beeps on the tracks, then have to be mentally subdivided and the "rests" (non-beeps) incorporated into the tempo. You can't stuff 3 counts into a blank space that would otherwise only fit 2 beeps based on the intervals between the 3rd and 4th beep. It does not work that way. Those are two different tempos, then. It does not matter if you "react" or "anticipate", the space between the 3rd and 4th beep defines the single count. And in the case of the tracks, the ratio works out to 2:1.

Maybe a better way of looking at the 3:1 for the purpose of swing analysis is to pay attention to Sam Snead who said waltz time was the secret to his swing. Watch videos of Sam and count from the start of the swing to the top, then impact, in a regular time/tempo. Notice it can be done with 2, 3, 4, 5 or ANY number you want at impact, depending on the SPEED AT WHICH YOU COUNT and the intervals between each number. Try it. You can see Sam swinging in 3/4, 6/8, or 4/4 time very easily depending on how you count.

The bottom line is that the tones with the book do not match the ratio used in the book if you are trying to count out tempo evenly. BUT, the takeaway from the book remains the same: different players have different speeds at which they swing, but the overall rhythm from start to finish is similar from player to player.

I would change the name, no problem about that!!! How can I do it?

BTW I never said the pros don't swing in 3:1, I'm just saying the 1, 2 , 3 and 4 counts and sound files are wrong. The discrepancy in what Novosel is teaching through his CD. That means that every single golfer that has follow the tracks in all these years has been swinging the club in a 2:1 ratio, sorry.

This would make even less sense assuming that everyone takes 1/3 of a second to react to the first tone and still makes contact on the fourth beat. 1/3 second 8 frames. So 12 frames to transition and 10 frames to impact, a 1.2:1 ratio.

Think about it, even if you react to each beat, the tempo would still be the same. The only way to obtain a 3:1 ratio using the audio files they provide is to start the swing on the 4 and make contact on the four. But if you do that, your back swing will be 1.25 seconds long!

The OP said the theory was wrong based on "[color=#282828]listening to the tracks on youtube or elsewhere." Not until the 20th post did the link come. I have both books and there is a noticeable difference between 3:1 full swing tones and the 2:1 short game tones, and I stayed away from the song-style beats because there's too much background noise. John is a member here so I'm sure he'll chime in shortly on the accuracy of the files in the link provided.[/color]

The problem is a musician heard the beeps and assumed they were on a 3:1 ratio, which is incorrect. The PURPOSE of the beeps is simply to have a time segment that is 3X longer than the next segment.

 

To exaggerate the timing should be BEEP (One second) BEEP (1/3 a second) BEEP. I have no idea what beats those are supposed to be on, but that's how the timing works.

 

http://www.tourtempo.com/yale.pdf

 

I recorded the first track and brought it into Premiere, created a 24fps project and counted the frames from beat 1 to beat 3 (20 frames), then counted the frames from 3 to 4 (10 frames).

As you can see, the three is not at one second (if the 3 was at the 3rd four I typed in, then the 3 would be at one second). And this is a 2:1 ratio.

This should work out exactly as Novosol intended, since your react to the 1st and 2nd tone and the 3rd tone is actual impact. So the actual time between 3 and 4 above - transition to impact (if you use the tones correctly and don't try to anticipate them), will be shortened by your reaction time, since your actual transition won't start until after you hear the 2nd tone (as others have pointed out). So in looking at the above graph, you'd have to phase shift 1, 2 and 3 to the right by the typical human reaction time.

 

My guess is that Novosol knew that there would be some degree of "anticipation" in reacting to the 2nd tone though and probably adjusted for this a bit in developing the exact spacing of the tones, then tested it on golfers and filmed them to confirm that his spacing would work.

I can't believe that's your best argument! You just can't agree and accept that my point is correct and I just mislead the title. Anyway, I'm sure I have my point as I and Crapula showed. It's up to you what you think.

Cheers.

forget about the music...it is irrelevant to the original explaination

high-speed camera analyzed frames to the top of backswing -- to impact 3:1

snead was 32:11; els 24:8, tiger 18:6 etc.

noteworthy that when tiger gets out of sync he is closer to 18:9

my internal metronome is 1,2,3 (top of b) ROCKY! @ IMPACT (in honor of the person that gave me the tip)

the website or the beats might be wrong --

but dont cloud the salient point = 3:1 ratio top:bottom

If we're talking about miliseconds and tempo that's too imprecise. Plus, part of the theory is the space between the 3rd and 4th beat represents 1 unit, and the rest of the swing is 3. There is not room for 3 of those beats from the 1 to the 3, even if you just "react" and "don't anticipate".

 

This seems like a strange way to train tempo/rhythm/timing. In music and dance, there are "count off" beats that lead you into the actual bit. It would make much more sense to have the actual 3:1 exact ratio in beeps, with a count off of the same thing to prepare you for them. Then you don't have to guess about "anticipation", because you're already counting.

When I hear the tour temp I hear a triplet: Based on the definition the OP is sort of right. If you think about the tour tempo as "notes" it would be a 3:1 where the swing is 2 notes and set and through are each one note. If you use are counting intervals it is only 3 intervals. The average Joe fill the rhythym of the notes rather than the interval.[list]

If you are only supposed to react to the first and second tone and make contact on the 3rd, this makes sense, assuming you react on time to the first beat, are 4 frames late on the 3rd beat and 2 frames late to impact.

My guess is that Novosol knew that there would be some degree of "anticipation" in reacting to the 2nd tone though and probably adjusted for this a bit in developing the exact spacing of the tones, then tested it on golfers and filmed them to confirm that his spacing would work.

 

If we're talking about miliseconds and tempo that's too imprecise. Plus, part of the theory is the space between the 3rd and 4th beat represents 1 unit, and the rest of the swing is 3. There is not room for 3 of those beats from the 1 to the 3, even if you just "react" and "don't anticipate".

 

This seems like a strange way to train tempo/rhythm/timing. In music and dance, there are "count off" beats that lead you into the actual bit. It would make much more sense to have the actual 3:1 exact ratio in beeps, with a count off of the same thing to prepare you for them. Then you don't have to guess about "anticipation", because you're already counting.

Might seem strange to you, but pretty certain that this is how he did it. I'm sure he tried different spacings until he found one that worked on actual golfers.

I agree...the concept with music is a good idea, because you CAN anticipate, by having a song in your head...start the backswing on downbeat of a measure (ONE). But to have 3:1 ratio, impact must happen at downbeat ONE of the next measure, in 4/4 time. The downswing occupies the entire 4th beat of the 1st measure.

Like others have said, the beats may not be precisely 3:1.

[b]They account for reaction time[/b]. Mostly, the reaction time needed to transition from backswing to downswing.

So, the idea is that everyone will be late and never notice that they are late, therefore using it correctly?

I think he is right here. I believe the book tells you not to anticipate the beats, react to them. I am no musician, but I believe this is correct.

This would make even less sense assuming that everyone takes 1/3 of a second to react to the first tone and still makes contact on the fourth beat. 1/3 second 8 frames. So 12 frames to transition and 10 frames to impact, a 1.2:1 ratio.

You left out the transition time from backswing to forward. If it takes four or five frames for that transition, the ratio is around 3:1.

Come on guys, we are not talking about microseconds or missing frames...is about: 1, 2 ,3, HIT. I just got the book from a friend and the concept is that! Of course there are some off-sets but if you read the book it says it is because the time to react, not because he added extra "frames or microseconds" to make a 3:1 ratio, something that is clearly a 2:1. Conceptual the tones and the music are 2:1, everyone practising with that audio is not swinging in a 3:1 ratio.
