How to Train with the Count Yogi Rhythmic Loop Tapes

Use headphones. This tape is for mid-iron use only. It is your main training tool to help you stay in the Set System longer and more consistently. New tapes will be added soon, but swinging with a 7 iron to this initial tape will help your overall game. 

1. First Time – Just Listen

Stand in your normal address position with no club. Play the Rhythmic Loop Tape and simply listen. Let the rhythm move through your body. Do nothing else. Just feel it.

2. Regular Training – Swing with the Tape

Take a mid-iron. Play the tape and swing along with it. For best results use with the Platform to Perfection. Stay with the rhythm. Keep the motion smooth and easy. Swing for at least 30 to 40 minutes in each session. This gives your body time to settle into the rhythm and stay there.

3. Daily Practice

• Listen to the full 50-minute tape at least once a day.
• Swing with the tape for at least 30–40 minutes, 4 or 5 days a week.
• Start easy and let the swing happen naturally. your goal is to match your positions to the 4 beats.
• The first two beats follow the rising sound to the top. At the start of beat 3 relax and let the club drop through the silence. If you inhibit completely your arms will drop like an elephant's trunk and  scrape through where the ball would be during the silence. Do nothing, and on the beginning of the 4th beat you will feel the weight of the club return to your hands. Ride that weight up to the finish position (club wrapped around your neck on full swings, or pointing straight up on strokes.)
• End every session with a few full swings where you simply ride the rhythm all the way to the finish.

4. At the range

 You can use these tapes at the driving range to drill in the rhythmic loop using live balls. Nothing changes, just remember to let the club drop all the way through the silence through the ball and up to the next tone. It's like a roller coaster and the ball sits at the bottom of the loop. You just ride the club and it carries you up the other side, and the ball gets sent tangentially to the target in the process. Do not focus on the ball. Keep the target in the back of your  mind and let the clubhead ride through the ball all the way to the start of the 4th beat. 

5.On the Course

Before you play, listen to 5–10 minutes of the tape on the range. These tapes are not meant for on course use. On the course, just stay with the same rhythm. Let the swing happen. The ball is only a point along the way.

Why This Works

The Rhythmic Loop Tapes train you to stay in the Set System.

When you swing with the rhythm, your body learns to move gracefully and naturally from start to finish. There are no swing thoughts to remember. The rhythm itself keeps you on the correct path and lets the swing happen by itself.

The more you train with the tapes, the easier it becomes to stay in the Set System on every shot.

That is how Count Yogi played — and that is how you will play. This is the same rhythm Count Yogi used when he said, “No matter how I feel, I’m never off my set system.”

Train the rhythm. Let the swing happen.
