Changing your natural tempo will take a long long time. I think we can work on a many things before we try to chnage tempo to gain speed.

Let me help you get an effortless golfswing with speed and accuracy. I call it the circle of speed. A good release will help you to a better impact and longer drives and irons without slice and hook. How to swing a golf club need to be adjusted to your skill level and experience.
Long and straight is the goal for everyone but it takes time. Try to focus on one thing not everything when you practise. Impact, face control and swingpath will always be the most important part to drill. We focus too much on rotation but no good golf shot will be executed just by rotating.
I’m naturally right handed but all my tips works for both left handed and right handed golfers playing either way.
We also need to understand that many myths in golf are misleading. Everything that you find on the internet isn’t true. Ben Hogan, Sam Snead are two of the legends that are often misunderstood. To understand golf we need to take it step by step and learn every part of the swing before we move on to the next. It’s like a big jigsaw puzzle that we all can figure out.
Some pro’s that hit draw: Rory McIroy, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Reed, Sepp Straka and many, many more.
We shall not keep our head still, only start with the hips, look only at the ball or keep the left or right arm straight. Understand what do do with the club and let your body find the best way possible.
If you use callaway, ping, titleist or taylor made clubs doesn’t matter you can learn to hit good golf shots. Your loft or your shaft on the club will not change but you can always get better.
Find what inspires you. Golf basics are the same for everyone. The pga tour, longdrivers or other good golfers can all help you find better golf shots. Watch what they do instead of listed to what they say. Listen mostly to your body and figure out what you need to do to produce the same results as the pros on TV. Be careful when you watch a golf swing in slow motion. The result isn’t always what the golfer is trying to do. Feel and real are seldom the same.
Mike Malaska, Mike Austin, Mike Dunaway, Pete Cowen and Steve Pratt are some of my favorite golf instructors online. Find the tips that make your golf better. Decide what you want to hit. I teach a draw but many like a fade and nobody likes a hook or slice.
Your hips or your lag is not the key to golf. Your hands will decide the shot and you can do like Tiger Woods and trust your hands. Teach your hands to hit different shots. Hit big hooks and slices to understand what happens. Only straight is not gonna teach you anything.
Bryson Dechambeu and Kyle Birkshire can inspire you to hit it longer. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson can give you inspiration and motivation to test new things and new golf shots. Linn Grant, Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg can show you the future of golf.
The Masters, Players Championship, The Players, The Open and US Open can make you love golf even more. See the best in the world solve all the problems we all need to master any golf course. Golf is a craft and you need fantasy, feel and skills to master it.

Marcus, watching your tempo on video always re-assured me that I don't need to whip the club back to gain speed. I can't do that anyway. I just want a solid shot with a little draw. Following your tips helps me achieve this.
At one time I though the faster I swung my tempo would increase and that would produce more club head speed and the ball would travel farther but what I really produced was losing more balls in the woods with out of control slices and two way misses
Now my temp that my body and brain can handle under control delivers more shots to my target…no more trips into the out of bounds area plus my circle of speed is more effective to use
Marcus… is that a Husqvarna or Highland bike Christmas sweater???

The tempo advice I heard in a podcast was aimed at golfers who swing much slower than you do. The podcast disputed the old advice to swing back "low and slow." The podcasters said that they examined videos and found that nearly every major tournament champion in decades went from takeaway to impact is 1.2 seconds or less. That's 36 frames at standard 30 frames per second of video. Your swing outdoors in the snow is 27 frames from start back to impact by my count. Your indoor swing was 29 frames to impact from when you start back after you lift the club. For me, going from a nearly 2-second swing to a 1-second swing improved distance with no loss of accuracy. Your tempo is a good model for me, even if my tempo isn't quite as fast as yours!
Appreciate the video, Marcus.
Great stuff! I had a lesson yesterday and my teacher told me all of my bad shots wedge to driver were caused by quick backswing which also resulted in a short backswing. Good tempo was all I needed.
I agree, I believe everyone has natural tempo. I like the slow back swing and start down slow to fast for me.
