Lessons in Tempo With DJ Oddeo and Technics

In the world of DJing, rhythm is everything and finding the right tempo can make or break a set. For DJ Oddeo, this same principle applies to golf. As both the retail store manager and resident DJ of the flagship Hypegolf Clubhouse space, DJ Oddeo took Hypebeast behind the scenes to show us how he seamlessly blends his love of music with his golf practice. Below, dive into his guide to perfecting your golf tempo at the swing.

Technics was the official audio partner of this year’s Hypegolf Clubhouse Classic and the official audio sponsor of Hypegolf Clubhouse, providing guests with an exclusive look at the brand’s iconic arsenal of hi-fi equipment, including turntables, sound systems, and the recent launch of the state-of-the-art AZ100 True Wireless Earbuds. Taking to the Clubhouse’s virtual practice range, Oddeo explains how he uses Technics’ earbuds to get in the zone and lock into his flow state before stepping out onto the physical green. Golf tempo is the anchor of a great swing and the secret to perfecting clean, precise movements that carry through your gameplay. Veteran players can spot your tempo from a mile away, and for the game’s greatest, this unique metronome distinguishes their legacies.

Tempo is a matter of harnessing rhythm and repetition — concepts that are also uniquely ingrained in music. DJ Oddeo likens his approach to the course to the way he builds the energy in a nightclub. Starting with 10% warm-up shots, he begins every practice session by honing his form before striking the ball. With the AZ100 True Wireless Earbuds on hand, he’s able to synchronize particular beats with his movements and strengthen his focus using the device’s noise-cancelling technology. Engineered with an acoustic control chamber and harmonizer, they produce an immersive soundscape and ultra-clear audio payoff. When it’s time to drive up energy for a full swing, he’s able to maintain his stamina without breaking his rhythm and form.

Like tempo, your gameplay is affected by other factors, including your style. If you’re comfortable and confident on the green, you’re more likely to maintain a balanced swing that emphasizes precision and power. Whether behind the turntable or tee, rhythm is the key to unleashing your potential.
