Used it for a week before a comp and shot my best round in 18 months. 84. The difference was my iron striking. I was hitting greens I normally come up short on. Can't argue with that.
Bought this after my fourth lesson in a row where my pro told me I was casting. He kept saying "hold the lag" and I kept nodding like I understood. I didn't. The PureTempo made it click. Literally. The first time I heard the sound fire at the right moment, I felt the difference through the whole club. Now I don't need the trainer to know where my release is. But I still use it three times a week because it keeps me honest.
I'm 61 and I've been playing golf for over 30 years. My handicap sat between 19 and 22 for the last decade and I'd honestly accepted that it wasn't going to change. I've done lessons, online academies, swing analysers on my phone, you name it. My wife told me to stop buying golf gadgets. I told her this was the last one. She rolled her eyes. Three months later I'm playing off 16 and she's stopped rolling her eyes. The PureTempo didn't teach me anything new. It just showed me the one thing I'd been doing wrong the entire time. Turns out I was casting on every single swing and never knew. Ten minutes a day, three or four days a week. That's all it took. I genuinely can't believe the difference.
Smash factor went from 1.38 to 1.46 in two weeks. My coach asked what I'd been working on. Showed him the PureTempo and he ordered one for his lesson tee.
Honestly thought I was too old and too bad at golf for something like this to matter. I'm a 25 handicap and some days I can barely get the ball off the ground with my long irons. The PureTempo showed me why. I was throwing the club so early that by impact there was nothing left. After three weeks of garage sessions, I hit my 5-iron cleanly for the first time. Actually airborne. My playing partner looked at me like I'd just performed a magic trick. I'm hooked.
I play in a regular Saturday comp and I was the shortest hitter in my group by 20 yards. Was. After six weeks with the PureTempo I've closed that gap completely. My driver distance went from about 210 carry to 225 and I genuinely didn't change my swing speed. The ball just started compressing properly because I stopped dumping energy before impact. My mates keep asking if I've been hitting the gym. Nope. Same body. Better timing.
Stopped being the guy who yells "fore right" every single tee shot. My drives are finally going where I aim them and I actually enjoy standing on the tee box now. 3 handicap shots gone in a month. Brilliant product.
I've spent more money on golf lessons than I'd ever admit to my wife. Every single one helped for about a week. Then the old habits crept back and I'd be standing on the range wondering what went wrong. The PureTempo is the first thing that's actually stuck. The click gives you feedback that a coach physically can't. You hear it in real time, every rep, and your body starts adjusting without you even thinking about it. My iron carry distances are up across the board. 7-iron went from 148 to 162. I'm hitting greens I used to lay up on. My mates reckon I've had a secret lesson with a tour coach. Nah. Just ten minutes in the garage before dinner.
Finally understand what "lag" actually means. Not from a YouTube video. From hearing it happen in my own swing. Broke 100 for the first time last weekend. I'm 54 and I've never been this excited about golf.
I'm a 5 handicap and I bought this on a whim. Didn't expect much. But I'd been struggling with a thin miss on my mid-irons under pressure and my coach suspected early release. The PureTempo confirmed it within the first three swings. Subtle, but the click was firing a fraction before impact. Took about five days of focused sessions to recalibrate. My contact under pressure has been noticeably better since. For the price, it's a no-brainer even for single-digit players.
My divots used to point left and start behind the ball. Textbook casting. I knew it was a problem but I couldn't fix it no matter how many drills I tried. Two weeks with the PureTempo and my divots are now in front of the ball and pointing at the target. That's not a small thing. That's a completely different ball flight. My playing partners have all noticed. Two of them have ordered one.
Wife bought it for my birthday thinking it was a gag gift. Dropped 4 shots off my handicap in six weeks. Best present she's ever given me. She's less thrilled now because I won't stop talking about it.
I'm going to be completely honest. I almost returned this after the first session because all I heard was the click firing way too early and it was demoralising. Then I realised that was the entire point. It was showing me what I'd been doing wrong for years and nobody had been able to explain it in a way that made sense. I kept at it. By the end of the second week, the click started firing later. By week three, I was getting it at impact consistently. The feeling of a properly compressed iron shot is something I'd never experienced before. I'm a 26 handicap. Or I was. I shot 91 on Saturday. My best round ever. This thing works if you stick with it.
I use this as a warm-up tool in the car park before every round. Five minutes, maybe 20 swings, and my timing is locked in before I even step on the first tee. I used to spend the first three or four holes finding my swing. Now I'm playing well from the opening drive. My front nine scores have improved by 3-4 shots on average just from that one change. Worth every cent.
Picked this up after seeing an ad and honestly expected nothing. Three weeks later my GIR went from 4 per round to 7. My approach game completely transformed. I'm not swinging differently. I'm just delivering the club properly for the first time.
I play off 8 and I was sceptical that a $79 training aid could tell me anything my Trackman couldn't. Turns out it tells me something different. Trackman shows me the result. The PureTempo shows me the cause. I can feel and hear exactly where my release is happening, swing by swing, without staring at a screen. I've been using it three times a week for two months and my ball striking consistency is the best it's ever been. My miss has gone from a 10-yard spread to about 5. Highly recommend for low handicappers who think they don't need it.
