You are very welcome!!!

They say don’t think at all when you make a golf swing but for some reason most amateurs think about a million things. A very long to do list and a very long not to do list. When I don’t think at all then my ball go very straight and very far but 30 to 40 degrees left !! Now, thanks to your video, if I think left shoulder down to the ball in the back swing and right shoulder down to the ball in the down swing then the ball goes straight and my tempo is also much better. Therefore I can say it works for me. Thank you very much. This is a great improvement for me.

Well Lee, I am glad I could give you an idea for your swing and your tempo. Also for me it is a miracle how you can swing the club and hit the ball with a blank brain. Great players THINK the shape of the curve and this is how they guide the body. I don't know many great golfers, who don't think at all... So you are just right with having one thought! I love to get a thought in my set up, cause I know, if I don't manage a few things well here like my sternumposition, most of the other swing thoughts I have is not working either. Lee Westwood once said, he has some kind of box with swingtoughts and tries them out in the morning and which is working best, it is the one for the day :)

Thank you Robert!

I've been working on smoothing my rhythm with a tip I got a while back that really makes a difference. As an example, use whatever club you use for 150 yds & using your normal full swing, try to hit it 100. It's a little difficult to get used to but keep trying it. It'll slow you down & help with solid contact.

Thats a good tip for slowing down and practise half shots. But you also gotta have a good rhythm if you wanna rip it! That was more my idea!

you're just brilliant

Very nice words, thank you!

Great tip, Martina. Regarding accelerating thro the impact, you made a brief mention of how it is incorrect to wait till the horizontal position of the shaft on the downswing and then whip it through. I’m one of those with this faulty move and my logic is that if we accelerate all the way from the top of the backswing, we lose control on the direction of the shaft. Shall appreciate your views please. Thanks

@martina_eberl_coaching_en

Well, it depends how much you accelerate... I would always choose a tempo on a scale von 1-10 in an 8 max. It's a fine line: there need to be some speed but I am not a fan of loosing control over your clubface. Because then it's going to be wild! Hope that helps!

@@martina_eberl_coaching_en Thanks for the quick response. I’ll try slowing down from the top. Probably one of your videos on transition to downswing will help.

Martina, please help me my swing thought is shoulder to shoulder and I keep my right elbow tucked to my side to my ribs. Am I good with that?

@martina_eberl_coaching_en

8 ай бұрын

Just try with tucking in your right elbow and turn your left shoulder down towards the ball in the backswing. Remain your body-angle in the follow-through. If you have any questions, please watch some more of my videos - its a lot explained already!

Would you suggest i count 1.. 2 to get my rythym consistent? Thanks.

My trouble is that when I start my downswing and lowering my hands to get in correct swing path I will often drop my knees and end up stubbing the shot. Or, the Club head hits ground to early and I top the ball. Any tips?

@martina_eberl_coaching_en

10 ай бұрын

Well there is a good theory about squatting first but then you need to jump out of your squat. Not easy to do... Don't forget the weight shift, maybe that helps you with your low point!

I will try to pattern my swing like this; slower back and faster thru!

But I wanna focus on my body and wanna have my brain in the right place. Words would take my focus away from my swing thoughts I actually need to strike the ball as I want it!

Hello Martina, I enjoyed this video very much very clear good advice. I was wondering how far you hit your eight iron normally with the swing that you demonstrated. Thank you and good luck.

@martina_eberl_coaching_en

11 ай бұрын

Thanks Randy! Well I normally hit my 8iron about 135 meters which is 148 yards... After I don't play on Tour anymore I don't get to practise any kind of that time years ago. But I am happy with my distance also because I am only 1,64 meter small. But I work hard in the gym to keep my strength up...

Good video. My problem is if i turn my right shoulder (im left handed) towards the ball i dip and lose height.

Then you don't turn, then you tilt too much maybe actually pivot... If you turn, just try it upright, you don't go forward either...

I'm a lefty too. Concentrate on keeping your left shoulder back & square to the target line. You must get your weight to your right side before you rotate or you'll hit it fat. Keeping the shoulder back will also prevent coming over the top & slicing because your swing will come from the inside & may produce a draw. Do this with short shots to start & gradually increase the swing length. Hope this helps. Lefties must stick together.

@@mikerodrick2430 Hi Mike, all absolutely correct explained! Thanks for your support. Sounds just a bit too easy and be careful with the weight transfer. Not everybody needs or should shift! But once you r on the left side, of course, you have to come back onto the right foot!

Hi Martina I’m confused about what you said on this video you didn’t seam to bend your hips on this video and you said you shouldn’t straighten your leg so soon.I love all your videos.

This video is all about tempo and rhythm not about technique. It's about finishing your backswing and waiting for it! Most of the Golfers can't wait and get ripped out of the positions!

What helps me is while I'm practicing, I'll count 1..2 on the way up then 1 ... On the down swing 😊

Very cool if that thought helps you!

I liked the more specific suggestion for rhythm by Danny Maude: 1 (upswing), and ( weight transition) 2 (downswing). You need to find some sort of ‘mantra’ that works for you. It helps to focus. Thanks, Martina, looking forward to see your next video.

Thank you! And you know what the crazy thing is? Even after 36 years of playing, I think about the grip every time I grip a club. I have students they think, there will be a time, where this all will be automatic. I don't think so...
