downswing time, expressed in a ratio. A 3 to 1 ratio, or 3.0, is
the ideal swing tempo based on studies of professional golfers.

The Ideal Swing Tempo

You can achieve the ideal 3.0 tempo using different swing
timings, for example, 0.7 sec./0.23 sec. or 1.2 sec./0.4 sec.
Each golfer may have a unique swing tempo based on their
ability and experience. Garmin provides six different timings.
The device displays a graph that indicates if your backswing or
downswing times are too fast, too slow, or just right for the
selected timing.

To find your ideal swing timing, you should start with the slowest
timing and try it for a few swings. When the tempo graph is
consistently green for both your backswing and downswing
times, you can move up to the next timing. When you find a
timing that is comfortable, you can use it to achieve more
consistent swings and performance.
