Golfswing: You gotta turn - but the right way

[@patc1309]

I have been in the golf business for over 35 years and have worked with some of the "top" instructors. And this is by far one of the best visual lessons I have EVER seen about a proper turn with the hula hoop! Absolutely FANTASTIC!

[@martina_eberl_coaching_en]

Wow Pat, what nice lines to read. Glad I could bring up a new idea. Hopefully I can keep up with my following videos :)

40 years playing golf 1st time I see a fantastic demonstration of the swing turn Thanks

[@martina_eberl_coaching_en]

Practise it in front of a mirror, its always different! After with a club in a x-arms position, add a club and feel how different it really is. Its the same for me all the time....

No one has ever explained the proper shoulder turn to me as clearly as you Martina. Thank you!!

Thats great news! I am glad I could get it across more understandable for you!

Demonstrating the correct turn with the hula hoop is outstanding. Very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you Alan! Did you try it yourself?

[@alanplummer]

@@martina_eberl_coaching_en I’ve not tried it, as I do not have a hula hoop. Seeing the plane the hula hoop needs to stay on is a great visual of what we should do. I may have to buy one, video my rotation, and see the plane I create myself. Thank you, Martina! Your videos are excellent!

[@KevinMancini]

Using the hula hoop showed so clearly how to turn. The best demonstration of how to turn that I have ever seen.. Excellent... Thank you.

Excellent Martina. Thank you so much for posting this. The visual cues are really valuable.

[@TonyDwyer-gh7uj]

I am a senior golfer and along with this I have some physical issues. When I saw this video the light came on! I found the movements easy and less stressful on my upper body. I feel that following this instruction that my body moves much better and I am able to swing a lot smoother and with better tempo. Just brilliant! Thank you Martina you are an awesome instructor!

[@martina_eberl_coaching_en]

Thank you Toni for your nice words. I am really happy that I could help so many people also in the health area... Keep going and stay tuned!

[@DennyDupuis]

Agreed…I have never heard it explained so simple…I always focused on a waist turn. Look forward to practicing this move.

[@curtchaffee]

I was a strong competitive tennis player but really struggled with golf until recently. After years of listening to golf professionals, reading books ,etc. my swing looked like I was trying to kill a poisonous snake with a club. It was so stiff, so inconsistent, I quit playing for years at a time out of frustration. Last year I decided to give it one more try by throwing out everything I had seen and heard about the golf swing and incorporate the natural feelings and motion of my tennis swing. Your video is the exact transition I ended up with. I was pleased to see the confirmation, as well as the positive results that have me enjoying the game for the first time in years.

[@martina_eberl_coaching_en]

Thanks a lot for sharing your story! I am happy I could confirm what you started out of your instinct. Keep going. Thanks for supporting my new channel.

Echoing many comments here. So much has been said on YT and the internet on the golf rotation, and yours has to be the most effective and helpful, at least for me. Using the hula hoop is such a great way to show the continuity of the rotation from up swing to down swing. I have spent so many hours correcting and adjusting my up swing when it is now clear to me the problem is not maintaining the swing plane on the down swing/ follow through. Thank you.

[@martina_eberl_coaching_en]

Thanks for sharing. Well I did too and many others. The arms are also important but once the rotation (body) is not in a good position, the arms will never find a natural way and its hard to repeat!
