Tempo is, in essence, the rhythm
the torso beats as it coils and uncoils.
Think back, down, and through. Forget
about the arms for a second. This is
big picture stuff.
The reason for a controlled tempo is
to keep the body in charge of the
swing.
So, whether the swing is fast or slow,
does not matter. Tiger has the ability
to turn his upper body faster. Everything
is faster. But that's Tiger and his talent
level. It's relative. He's still keying off
his upper body (and legs.) There's really
no other way.
