Thinking the swing backwards - giving your arms and body the right idea
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- Have you ever thought the Golfswing backwards? Eversince I keep on doing this, I get myself and my students of course into better positions. Questions what your arms are supposed to do, when the need to extend, what the shoulders do... all this you will find by working the swing backwards.
What I mean by saying this, you will see in this video!
Have fun watching and learning!

This has been the nemesis of my swing for as long as I can remember. As with many, I can't get rid of my chicken wing. I've seen a hundred tips on how to do it but I'm so focused on contact that after I make contact I let my arms fold rather than throw them through the ball that costs me distance & consistency. Thanks for a great tip.
Glad I could help Mike!
I lost my game to the point I WAS GOINT TO QUIT. I couldn’t break 90… I was in a bad way with driver and all my clubs. I watched your videos and a friend ask to play one Saturday. I couldn’t believe what happen…I shot 3 over par …I really saw what I was doing wrong and feel I’m on my way back to normal… I’m not sure what happen but I watch all your videos. They helped and I’ve sent them to friends … Thanks
Wow Bert, what a message! I am so happy for you. I know how it feels like being really devastated! But giving up is never an option :)! Glad I could help you out! Hope to get you more great content!
Martina, you make the golf swing very easy to understand. You have taken the mystery and made it disappear. Easy to follow instruction and use. Almost all instructions either on line or in person are confusing. Just follow these simple principle and swing. That’s it!! I wish I had found you years ago.
Thank you very much! It's never too late :)
Precise thoughts and ideas, other coaches explain this import segment of a swing very😀👍 tediously . Thanks Martina, you are the best !!!!!
Thank you very much!
Surely... by far the best golf videos one can find in the web.
@@jgmendes3664 Very sweet, thank you!
I like the principle to go result based tips and tricks. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Oh thats good, thats what's it all about in my video lessons!
I think I have a new favorite UA-cam golf channel!
Thanks, thats a nice compliment!
Awesome tip for persons starting with the game. Looking forward to more...
Thanks! More will certainly come!
After watching many different lessons on YT your coaching is easy to follow and makes sense. Thank you.
Thank you Ken!
love her approach, keeps it simple
I have been playing golf for 23 years, your lectures on the low point and left shoulder movement is the best lesson i ever saw! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks a lot Charles. But you know, all the knowledge we all did not have 20 years ago. Eversince we have the possibilities in messuring data with the Trackman and other divices, we are able to define facts better like the low point. I haven't been aware either even when I was playing Golf professionally...
If the Ziel (goal) is not forcing the swing. This is pure Gold (gold:)
Thank you!
Great video. How you make sure that your wrist does not flip over. I see that you are keeping your right wrist pointing towards the target or even going to the sky
Thanks for your feedback. Well, I am trying to keep the right arm underneath the left and control the clubface. This position I am showing on the Thumbnail is a bit overdone but this is the position right after impact. At some point of course everything needs to follow the swing bow to the left!
Thanks a lot
@@gastonwright4157 Anytime
Martina, you are at another level of golf teaching... awesome simplicity !
Thank you so much! Very nice to hear!
This is a very useful reminder for me as I’ve been so focused on the downswing for the longest time. Can’t wait to try this at the range!
Let me know how it works for you Tim!
What’s great video. Everything you need to do at impact and after and also, the importance of the arm position after the impact. Thank you ma’am, just super info and visual.
You are welcome. Thank you for the nice comment!
Thanks Martina. This was a most useful lesson.
I am glad you like this one!
@@martina_eberl_coaching_en I went back and watched your other video as well and realized I was way over the top. My apology, I removed the comments. Your swing is very much in line with the mechanics I prefer. It’s a very natural swing that seems to really pivot around the spine. Some other teachers seem to prefer a bump into the lead side with the legs to start the downswing, but I haven’t found that to be necessary if you stay centered. I used to overdo my weight transfer into the backside, but of course while there is some weigh transfer, I wasn’t setting myself for a fluid downswing. My latest focus has been keeping my arms, esp. my trail arm, more in front of my body in the backswing which has really increased my extension and speed. Getting better extension after impact is my next focus. It’s ok now, but not what i think it could be. Anyway, thanks for the videos!
Love this topic.
Happy you like it!
Hi Martina! I have just discovered your videos and I think there are very useful for my swing. Ive found this one specifically useful for me cause I cannot stretch my arms in the follow trough. Thank you! And sorry for my English… it is rubbish!
I think your English is great! I am glad I could help you with my video!
Thank you Martina, This was a game changer for me.
great viedo
Thank you Mike!
Jose Manuel Carriles who’s is 60yo but still one of the best Spanish player told me exactly the same thing. Just tell your brain where you want to be after impact, don’t flood it with a million things. What you’re explaining in this video is now my routine and it helps a lot. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much for sharing. I am glad Jose is agreeing and thinking the same way! Good luck with your new routine!
Martina, thank you so much for your lessons. I needed this so badly as I feel like I overcomplicated my swing now after watching too many golf tutorials. Your simple explanation and breakdown is fantastic. Thank you!!
Point taken,This has been my problem, Believe me,i happened to discover it recently, somehow with help of your previous videos on different topic.
Well I'm glad I got the right topic for you finally :)
Amazing thoughts Martina I've taught this amazing/crazy game for decades and love your simplification without silly golf words that can be misunderstood... cheers from Toronto ...
Thats very kind of you! Thank you! Toronto have never been. One day :)...
Great video Martina.
Thank you Mark!
I used the thought of straightening the right arm through the ball and played more solid today. I play off 5hc and can get a little steep or over the top and this helped heaps. More practice is needed as I hit a couple left and a couple heavy but it's a great tip thank you.
Thank you Martina, I like that you get right to the point of the swing . This helped me swing through and not bring my arms in through the hitting are area. THANK YOU!
You are welcome!
This is a video I’ve been waiting for. Between this one and the low point one, I have so much to concentrate on. Thank you Martina.
Those two videos really match well. Actually this is also my stuff, I have to work on over and over again!
Hi, I am grateful for this lesson. It has helped me a lot with the iron game
You are welcome! I am glad I could help!
Great Martina.Tq
Thank you!
someone was analyzing Lexi Thompson's Golf Swing in slow motion and i could see what you were talking about... i would love to have you walk us through your swing in slow motion some day. I struggle so much with transition at the top and early release..... your low point has helped so much with contact... as a senior golfer with COPD my practice is mostly 30-40 yd chips in back yard as I have trouble doing 100's of practice swings on the range... thanks so much for sharing your knowledge
Thank you for sharing your story! I ll see what I can do with the slow motion! But I totally understand what you mean!
Your ideas make perfect sense and are explained so it's easy to understand the swing positions backwards is something I thought of on the basis of if I want to be here at impact and beyond where do I need to be in the backswing I've been trying to get that into the swing myself but your help has been very good for me and I've never seen any other coach explain it like you well done and thanks 😁
Thanks Mike! Yes, sometimes it gets me angered as well when I try to fiddle around in the backswing. Finally you have to find a good position hitting the ball :)
I gave this a try and it help me to not hit fat so often. I will keep practicing this for sure! Thanks for your instruction!
Perfect, keep going!
Good tips .namaste
You are very welcome!
Great stuff as always. Can you make a video on staying balance in golf swing. I have a tendency of dropping forward.
Sure, I can do that! The next filming day will be coming up in 10 days :)
Liebe deine Videos 🥰🤗😍
Dankeschön!!!
I think that this “reverse engineering” approach is allowing me to unlearn my old swing habits that still crop up on the course while trying to implement the concepts in your swing low point video. At least I have renewed optimism starting my 70’s. As a bonus your hand position post impact is quite different from the difficult to time crossover release. Thank you again.
You are welcome! Nobody is ever too old for optimism :)! Good luck!
Unfortunately I never had a chance to play or train continuosly...Very sparce golf striking opportunities, all these last 20 years... So I still pursue an acceptable swing and sure I'll take your lessons next time I can be on a golf couse or drive range... Thank you!
@@jgmendes3664 Let me know how it works!
The backswing and transition are analyzed to death and the finish is given little focus. Thanks for this post.
You are very welcome!
Martina, I love your explanations .
Does the same principle apply to wedge play ? 60, 52 etc
Thanks Mike! Well, you always want to have your club face looking at the target while impact and a milisecond later as well. So thats a fact. The swing itself is certainly more bent, the wedges are all shorter, so you gotta be more bent over and everything fells more "over the ball"... Hope that helps, otherwise watch the video about the Basics of Pitching please!
Good advice. For me, I have to feel that my left side really moves back around to the left to get into that position. I got too vertical with my path and my body would stop moving just before impact. No bueno. Now, I just feel the left side moving around to the left and my arms position is perfect.
Great explanation! Keep going, sounds well!
Nice tip will try
A question do you have a video on grip thickness my standard grip I find it too thin I wear large gloves and from badminton and squash background can we put racket grips on the clubs
I guess a fitting would be the best solution for you! Be careful cause the thicker the grip is the more passive the hands will become and your clubface could start suffering! Hope that helps!
💯👌
Thank you!
You are good
Thank you very much! That's nice to hear! :)
Talk about the back of the Left hand. What it looks like at impact for that perfect impact. Thanks
when the arms are straight thru the ball , the right heel is still planted or should rollover the toes ? Thanks
For me it seems the only way I can do it is to have lead wrist ulnar deviation as long as possible-feels weird to "hang on" as long as possible without upward hinge
Very nice vid. Your voice sounds like annaka!
Thanks. Thats funny, I´ve heard that before :)
I have to be careful with this routine...because my problem is upper body takes over the swing. Concentrating on lower body, primarily hips, to drive/steer arms/hands to that position you demonstrate. You have a very nice swing. Could definitely use you in couples golf!
Thanks :). Please be careful if you you know your issues. Just letting Golfers know, how the picture could be...
Hi Martina how do I pull the left shoulder up on the downswing please
Imagine the shoulder goes low towards the ball and then in rises up. The left side would like to be a completely stretched line....
Most of the time I hit the ground behind the ball. Would this exercise help? And, Wow this shoulder movement is completely foreign to me. I turn my shoulders which is incorrect I guess.
Think Clay Ballard calls this straight line release
Absolutely right expression!
So impact club face is at 12 o'clock??
I feel like l slice the ball if l dont roll the wrists after impact... toe point up at club parallel... lm a bit confused on the realese, when and how much. Thx for the videos
There will be an extra video coming out in the days, about the release. No panic! But if you feel like you need to roll your hands, your clubface is probably open. Try to hold it square in the take-away what means, it should have the same angle than the angle of your back. If thats to hard to manage, try to let it face towards the ground more!
@@martina_eberl_coaching_en
Today l tried letting the hands fall beind me and then letting the turn bring the clubhead out to the ball... this helped alot and my contact/distance improved ( 7i 145 meters but still a small fade/slice). I still need to work on keeping my back to the target for longer and letting the hands drop, i just want to hit the v
Ball from top🙂, but that doesnt work. Im a 19,2 hcp and only play maby 10 round a year. But i feel lm improving everytime i play. Just need to practice and play more. Thx for the help
@@thomasholdtchristensen9566 Practise is a "must do"! The hand don't really fall down, this would take the athletic away, but the wait till the weight and body is in position and then off they go! Watch the best swings in the world, there is no dropping... Its a from feet upwards move!
