The SwingStrength feature estimates how hard you swing the 

club by measuring acceleration and angular rate and comparing 

that with a known, normal swing. The SwingStrength value 

represents a percentage of your “full power swing” that is 

determined through a calibration process.

Before you can calibrate the SwingStrength feature, you must 

wear the device on your leading wrist to ensure the 

SwingStrength calibration is accurate. For example, right-

handed golfers must wear the device on their left wrist.
The club types include three groups: woods, long irons, and 

short irons. A 6-iron or lower is considered a long iron. A 7-iron 

or higher is considered a short iron.
TIP: Your SwingStrength levels can change over time. You can 

recalibrate anytime you feel like your SwingStrength level is no 

longer accurate.

Warm up, and take a few practice swings.

Select   > SwingStrength.

Select a club type.

Complete a normal, full swing.

Select an option:
• To save a good swing, select 

.

• To delete a bad swing and try again, select  .

Repeat steps 3-5 for each club type.

You can use the SwingStrength feature while practicing or 

during a round. You can use it when practicing at the driving 

range to improve consistency for your normal, full swing. You 

can also use this feature when you are trying to use a less-than-

full swing. For example, you can swing your 9-iron at 50% and 

see how that affects the distance. During a round, when you 

need that distance, you can turn on the SwingStrength feature 

and take a couple practice swings at 50% before hitting your 

shot.
TIP: The SwingStrength feature works best when you make 

good contact with the ball.

Select   > SwingStrength.

Select a club.

Complete a swing.

From the SwingStrength screen, select   > Change Club.

Select a club.

If the club has not been calibrated, calibrate it now (

).

The TempoTraining feature helps you perform a more 

consistent swing. The device measures and displays your 

backswing time and downswing time. The device also displays 

your swing tempo. Swing tempo is the backswing time divided 

by the 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.

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 uses three audible tones that continuously repeat 

the correct tempo. The first tone indicates when you should start 

your backswing. The second tone indicates when you should 

start your downswing. The third tone indicates when you should 

hit the ball.
The device also 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.
Viewing the Tip Sequence

The first time you use the TempoTraining feature, the device 

displays a tip sequence to explain how your swing is analyzed.

From the TempoTraining screen, select   > Tips.
