Swing Tempo Metronome
A three-beat metronome for swing tempo with an adjustable backswing-to-downswing ratio, plus a calculator that turns frame counts into your own ratio.
Swing Tempo Metronome
Three tones per swing — takeaway, top, impact — spaced by the ratio you choose. Nothing plays until you press start.
Takeaway to impact. The rest between repetitions is fixed.
21 / 7 counts frames on a 30 fps clip — the same 3:1 shape, pinned to a 0.93 s swing.
Metronome stopped.
Count the frames in a 240 fps clip from the start of the takeaway to the top, then from the top to impact. The ratio between them is your tempo.
Enter both counts to see your ratio.
Tour tempo is usually described as roughly 3:1 backswing to downswing. Treat that as a widely-repeated rule of thumb rather than a target: what this tool gives you is a consistent beat and an honest measurement of your own clip, not a verdict.
How to use this
- Press start — audio only ever begins on a press, never on page load.
- Set the total swing time and the ratio, then rehearse to the takeaway, top and impact tones.
- Count the frames in your own 240 fps clip and enter them to see the ratio you actually swing.
