Almost two generations of training experience has shown that the ideal Method for developing this Proper Tempo at the top of the backswing is for the pupil to turn his back to the sun, observing the shadow of the club come to a halt at the top of the backswing, and at the same time spelling the numeral one, before starting the mass of the lower body for the downswing. At the top spell oh-nn-ee, on a repetitive basis 15 minutes a day, the long shadow hours being the very best. In this manner the pupil will develop more effectively as he both sees the halt, and the action as well as feels it.
