Count tick and tock with a middle beat for chip tempo

To smooth out chipping tempo, count a 'tick, tock' rhythm where tick starts the swing and tock is impact. The key is the middle beat: feel it as 'tick and tock,' not a rushed 'tick-tock.'

Try it

  1. Count in your head like a tick, tock on impact
  2. Tick starts the swing, tock hits the shot
  3. Make sure you get that middle beat, so it's tick and tock

Why this context matters

Taught on a chip but a general tempo device.
