Golf Rhythm Coach: Swing Tempo

New in 1.1: drag the meter to set your impact point for each club. Seven count sounds, light and haptics keep your tempo on the range or at home. Now in 5 languages.

Swing with a tempo you can repeat. Golf Rhythm Coach is a golf metronome that shows your swing as a moving light and counts it out loud: address, takeaway, transition. Free to practise, one purchase to remember your settings.

Pick a club, press START and swing with the light. The light slows into the top, pauses, then accelerates through impact, the way a good swing does. Every count is a sound, a flash and a tap, so you can follow the tempo with your eyes, your ears or your hands.

■ TEMPO FOR EVERY CLUB

• Nine presets from driver to putter, with men's and women's standards
• 3:1 timing for full swings, 2:1 for the short game and putting
• Five short-game paces for approach and bunker shots
• Fine-tune any tempo in 0.1 BPM steps

■ SEE IT, HEAR IT, FEEL IT

• A light that moves like your swing, with a trail that shows the rhythm
• Seven count sounds: click, soft, bell, wood, dog, engine, cha-shu-men
• Haptics on every count, so it works with the sound off (iPhone)
• Keeps counting while the screen is locked or another app is in front

■ YOUR OWN IMPACT POINT (new in 1.1) The address marker starts where the ball usually sits for each club, from the driver off your lead heel to a chip played back in your stance. Drag the meter to move it to where your impact really is, club by club.

■ PRACTICE STAND MODE A full-screen meter with a large tempo readout, maximum brightness and auto-lock off. Put the device down and read it from your address position.

■ FREE Every club, every sound, the light meter, haptics and background playback. Tempo and marker changes reset when you close the app.

■ PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE)
