CONSISTENCY
It’s the mark of a pro. And it’s the product of good swing mechanics. What
happens during the 1.2 seconds from takeaway to contact means everything.
The Suunto G6 improves swing consistency by monitoring Tempo, Rhythm,
backswing Length and club head Speed with each stroke—providing instant
feedback that allows you to quickly feel and repeat the perfect swing.
HOW THE SUUNTO G6 WORKS
The Suunto G6 contains three tiny sensors. (Engineers call them
“accelerometers.”) With each swing—from the moment of takeaway to
contact—the three sensors work in concert to record 200-plus measurements.
Employing proprietary Suunto algorithms, the Suunto G6 then transposes
these measurements into four distinct swing components: Tempo, Rhythm,
backswing Length and club head Speed.
TEMPO:
The total time from takeaway to contact—
both backswing and downswing.
SPEED:
The speed of your club head at the moment
of impact.
THE MEANING OF TEMPO,
RHYTHM, LENGTH AND SPEED
LENGTH:
Measured in degrees, the distance your
wrist travels during backswing.
RHYTHM:
The percentage of tempo that’s spent on
downswing.
IMPROVING YOUR SWING AND ACHIEVING CONSISTENCY
Whether you’re hitting well or well below your goals, the Suunto G6 can
tell you why. While you might attribute an off-day to lack of sleep or too much
caffeine, the real reason might be over-swinging. Or it might be over-swinging with
a sluggish tempo. The Suunto G6 helps you realize your potential by identifying the
problems that hold you back. Likewise, if you’re having a stellar day, the Suunto G6
can tell you precisely why you’re in the zone.
The following scenarios show how a player or golf professional can use the Suunto G6
to diagnose problems and improve performance.
THE SHORT HITTER
Swing data from Suunto G6 PRACTICE mode
T: 1.8 s
R: 20%
L: 180˚
S: 70 mph
Observation:
This golfer suffers from sluggish Tempo and low club
head Speed.
Solution:
The fix is simple—faster club head speed. He can
achieve this by accelerating his Tempo to 1.3 seconds
or less and increasing his Rhythm to 25 percent. By
practicing with the Suunto G6, he’ll internalize his
new Tempo and Rhythm and consistently hit longer
shots.
Suunto G6 swing data of fictitious
tour pro John Powerdriver
Tempo: 1.07 seconds
Rhythm: 25 %
Length: 170˚
Speed: 120 mph
THE INCONSISTENT SWINGER
Swing deviation percentages from TEST mode
T: 16.9 %
R: 17.5 %
L: 27.7 %
S: 9.2 %
Observation:
This golfer suffers from the number-one problem
among avid players—inconsistency.
Solution:
With a Suunto G6, he’ll have the tools to gauge and
improve his consistency with each club in his bag.
Progressing from wedge to driver, the Suunto G6 will
analyze the consistency of each swing component
(Tempo, Rhythm, Length and Speed), pinpointing
areas in need of improvement.
Starting with a wedge, the first component he should
work on is the Length of his backswing. Checking the
Suunto G6 after each swing, he should strive for five
swings in a row between 125 and 145 degrees.
Next in line is Tempo. Using the same five-in-a-row
standard, he should strive for consistency within one-
tenth of a second. For example, if his target Tempo is
1.2 seconds, he should strive for five swings in a row
between 1.1 and 1.3 seconds.
After backswing Length and Tempo comes Rhythm:
five swings in a row between 23 and 27 percent.
Having developed consistency with a wedge, he’ll be
ready to accomplish the same with an iron and driver.
THE SLOW OVER-SWINGER
Swing data from PRACTICE mode
T: 1.95 s
R: 18 %
L: 195˚
S: 60 mph
Observation:
This golfer’s Tempo and Rhythm are too slow. What’s
more, her backswing is too long.
Solution:
Shorten the backswing to 150 degrees for faster
Tempo and Rhythm. This golfer should strive to keep
her Tempo below 1.33 seconds, with Rhythm above
24 percent.
Monitoring her swing with the Suunto G6, she should
aim for the following ranges:
T: 1.00 to 1.33 s
R: 23 to 27 %
L: 150˚ or less
Target swing data for a skilled amateur
Tempo: .8 to1.3 seconds
Rhythm: 24 to 27 %
Length: 120 to 180˚
Speed: as fast as possible while maintaining
proper balance and ball contact
OVERVIEW OF SUUNTO G6 MODES
PRACTICE MODE
Ideal for the driving range, the
PRACTICE mode displays your Tempo,
Rhythm, Length and Speed after each
stroke. Use the information to train
within your target parameters (devel-
oped by yourself or a golf profes-
sional). If you have a particularly good
or bad shot, press SELECT so you can
analyze it later. When you’re finished
training, the Suunto G6 will detail
your swing consistency for the session,
identifying areas for improvement.
You can also use the PRACTICE mode
at the beginning of a game to make
sure your swing is consistent with your
range work.
TEST MODE
Used at the driving range, the TEST
mode monitors your swing consistency
and improvement with each club. The
TEST mode also provides a quick way
to identify areas of your swing that
need improvement.
GAME MODE
The Suunto G6 keeps score in four
popular game modes: scratch, stroke-
play, stableford and match. It also
records your game statistics off the
tee, in the fairway and on the green.
The GAME mode can also display your
Tempo, Rhythm, Length and Speed
after each stroke. You can reference
this information to make sure your
game is consistent with your practice.
TIME MODE
