The Low Point / Point 0 - how this information can solve most of your problems
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ค. 2024
- There are so many things you can use your thoughts for in your golf swing but in my opinion the three most important things:
1. Clubface is KING
2. Your Low Point
3. Your Rhythm
No swingplane, no positions etc can help you so much improving your game as those three things.
In this video I ll explain the "Low Point" also called "Point Zero".
What the Low Point is and how it can help you to turn your ball striking around completely, you can watch right here!
Have fun watching and learning!

Goodness, I have watched 100's of training videos and none have ever explained this in such a logical way. I think this IS the most helpful instruction I have ever seen. Thank you so very much for sharing this. Also, your how to turn the shoulders video is absolutely priceless. Both are so important. Your ability to communicate and teach is outstanding. Thank you again......I know this will help me without a doubt.
Thank you so much for your nice words and I am glad I could help you with this video! Let me know how it works for you finally!
After watching hundreds of golfing videos, this one made something click in my brain. At the range today I have never hit it so well. Thank you.
This is so nice to hear! So happy! Keep going!
This is the best advice i have ever seen!! I have 16.6 hc and all my life i have been strugling with the low point and finally my prayers have been heard, THANK YOU 😄
As a 'golden years' veteran swing coach, I like to 'surf & see' who's teaching what on YT ( a medium that stopped my chronically bad habit of watching TV many moons ago ). Martina''s instruction is solid, & I applaud her for a valuable, accurate demonstration of this most necessary concept.
What I hear most from students is ... "I know but my body doesn't want to listen to my brain." Sorry but this is the rub in golf, & the only remedial solution ( that's not guaranteed to work with each attempt ) is to take time that most don't have to practice hours on end. Unlike other sports, golf DEMANDS you master at least 15 various types of shots in order you score well. ( sigh )
That said, I'd like you all to note how Mariana's upper / inner arms remain connected ( or as I tell my students, "Glued" to her core, through her entire body rotation ( something mainstream terminology mistakenly calls, "A swing." ) Also, bringing one's mass into the golf ball's path is essential. Keep up the great work, Martina. I subscribed.
Thank you very much! Much appreciated for other Golfcoaches!
My low point is when i leave the course after a terrible round.
I totally understand :)...
That’s a very good explanation. I have trouble with my turn and this helps a lot.
Thanks!
😂brilliant
My low point is when I realize that I paid 80 dollars for the terrible round.
I’m having trouble with the swing plane, I’m told that I need to shallow”my backswing, and not to come from such a steep angle. I had a lesson that put obstacles that I had to swing under in the backswing and again in down swing, which is pretty hard for me due to bad knees. I know the angles of attack change depending on the club and I know it’s true at least with driver since my longest drives (by far) are times I hit the ground first on accident. But I’m not exactly sure why that is, Because my main focus is hitting up on the ball and it feels solid goes high, but not far, unless I hit the ground. Sorry this rambling reply got long, but I was wondering if you could speak to angles of attack in a video. I just recently came upon your videos, and I think you’re the best around.!
This shoulder move has changed my game! No more thin or topped shots that have plagued my game for over fifty years. Thank you for this information!!
Thats great news! Very happy for you! Too bad nobody before was telling you this in all these years... But now you got it!
I love your instructions BECAUSE they focus on the very basics that us amateurs need and likely never master. This particular video may be the most insightful I have ever seen on controlling the low point to compress the ball and take a divot. None of the other instruction I have followed have ever explained the low point in this matter. In fact, the "new" emphasis in teaching is focused on shallowing the club which will result in tops or fats UNLESS you implement your teaching on the low point. Thank you. Today was my FIRST day to try this on the course and I hit every fairway and 14 greens.......shot 4 over. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You are so welcome :) Very happy you like it! Hope you like some other of my videos as well... Spread the videos to your friends, would be super nice :)!
I love how easy it is to slow your video’s down to 0.25% on the iPad. I can watch every second of your swing in super slow motion which really helps to cement the instruction in my head then practice in front of the mirror to match your angles as well as I can. Thank you once again.
Thanks for watching all my videos!
I've watched two of your videos, and you've explained things better than a hundred others I've watched! I'm in! Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot David!
She definitely has a gift of explaining things clearly and she's very knowledgeable! One of the best instructors I've seen for sure!
Martina, this has so helped especially with my 3 wood. I am getting good height and distance now and also with my hybrids. I am checking out all your videos now! Thanks terrific advice.
That's great news Kathy! Very happy for you!!!
The best advice about low point in golf..
Wow thank you! Glad you like it so much!
Marvellous description! Now I get it! Many, many thanks.
I am glad, great!
I second or third or whatever -this is THE most useful instruction i have ever seen and ive seen a lot , i mean a LOT .
Thanks 👍
Thank you sooo much! Your comment also means a LOT to me :)!!! Let me know how your training is going with it!
Proof in the pudding. Daughter having trouble with understanding her coach but your explanation taught her correct. Shoot a 73 and won her junior tourney. She’s a player and you are a teacher.
This is so nice to hear! Congrats to your daughter! Very happy for her. How old is she? I got also two of them :)
She is 17 and trying to figure out her college choice. She’s Rolex ranked in the 300’s after only 4 tourneys.
@@mikehotdice8699 Good luck with that and keep going!
Awesome. Spring cannot come fast enough to try this.
Thank you Dee! I know - Winter sucks for most of the Golfers... But from now on, days become longer again 🍾
I’m a 5 handicap and have been struggling with my low point after a foot injury. Foot is better but my swing is goofed up. Martina’s low point and hula hoop videos are getting me back on track. Thank you so much! You have great arms by the way. I’ll bet you can send that ball flying.
Well thats really nice to hear. Hopefully I can continue helping you getting back on track! Well I love gym work- as my arms show :)
@@martina_eberl_coaching_en the hoola hoop video, just unreal :)
Excellent explanation! Like others commented, I have never seen it explained this way. Thank you!!!
Thank you very much Ken! Appreciate it!
Great explanation. I am working on this. 64 years old & shot a 78 yesterday.
Wow, congrats Eric! Woll done! Be proud of yourself!
Wow! The club hanging from the inside of your shoulder is a really helpful visual to show why what you are saying is important!
Glad you like it Chris! Good luck!
game changer right here. highly recommended
Thank you! Spread the video to your Buddies if it really help you so much! I would really appreciate it 🙏
Martina - another simple explanation on how to improve your ball striking! Well done - many thanks!!
Really happy you like my videos! Keep going!
Valuable visual regarding the lead shoulder! 🤩😍😎😎🙏🏽
Thanks for lesson Martina. Just started watching your videos and they are great. I have some catching up to do but I plan on watching all of them.
Have fun watching and also practising :)
I really love this lesson and how simply you explain everything. I just found your channel and I’m very excited to practice with this information. Thank you so much and please keep up the great work
Thank you very much Arnold! Let me know how you can put this idea into your game!
Possibly the most useful golf video of all time
Very sweet of you Tony! Hope I could help!
Great video, Martina! I used to have a Nick Faldo video from the 90's on the full swing. At one point, he offhandedly said, "The lead shoulder, of course, must come up on the follow-through." It seemed like a throwaway line, and he never expanded on why this was so. However, I followed his advice and improved my ball-striking right away. Thanks to you, I now know why.
Thanks for sharing your story! Glad that I have the same intension as Mr. Faldo, can't be that wrong...
Couldn't be more grateful for you ..Thank you Martina
Very sweet Lawrence. Glad I could help!
invaluble piece to the puzzle of consistent ball strike martine!
thankyou, also you have a very well honed physique for golf.!
Glad I could help!
Martina, your explanation of golf swing information is easy to understand and make sense. thanks.
Thanks for your response!
I'm gonna watch all of your videos! My game sucks, and I'm okay with that.
Even if it doesn't get any better, I'm gonna love watching you explain it to me! ✌️❤️🙏
Thank you for your nice words! I am sure it will get better once you practise what I tell you to!
Best explanation I have ever had makes very good sense.
Thank you!
I was told by a pro to do left shoulder down on backswing right shoulder down on forward swing but without any explanation and it didn't really stick. Your explanation is remarkable in many ways. THANK YOU.
Thank you very much! I am glad the picture became clearer now :)
And have fun practicing!
Wow that just hit home
Thanks 4 good advice
There is no way around practise :)... You are welcome!
@@martina_eberl_coaching_en Affirmative
My approach was too serious and this gave me a wake up.
Went out and hit a few today with new mindset .
Cheers🥂
Wow i have watched two videos so far and i am blown away . the only other person who explains things great in golf videos is Danny Maude . you two should get together for a series . Great job May God bless you and your family now and always
Thanks a lot! I will check it out! Will be overseas in Winter anyway, maybe we can get together :)
Where are you going when you come to the states ? im in NJ near Seaview where the LPGA plays Atlantic City NJ

Best golf lesson video ever ! Thank you Martina !
You are welcome!
This is a further refinement of the stack and tilt golf swing. Great video!
Not a 100% stack and tilt, cause I am not purely working over my left side, but certainly more as the Old-School thoughts, you are right!
Agree with first comment. I played using this info and was surprised how well my consistency and power improved!
Well done Arthur! Glad it works for you!
Explains the critical low point very well. Thank you.
Thank you!
Great.. Explanation Martina, you are almost the best.. Felix in Niedersachsen
Danke Dir Felix!!!
Excellent explanation, well done!
Thank you!!!
My game was improving, though still with inconsistencies. As soon as I tried to 'adjust' something, it fell apart. Yesterday was my 'low point'! Terrible, hacking, clueless round. Watched Martina on how to make the turn last night and this morning on low point. It's the first time a golf video completely clicked with me!! Nailing the fundamentals, creating the foundation for my (future) game. Thanks!
So nice to read! Very happy for you! Keep going!
I have never understood how to manage the low point, especially with Driver. This is great. Many thanks.
You are very welcome! Stretch yourself more up than rotate!
EXCELLENT EXPLANATION!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.
My only suggestion is: I wish Martina had added a 'slo-mo' video of her swing so that we could really appreciate the left shoulder moving upwards (and not backwards).
Thanks for your response! We will take it into our next videos!
I have been struggling with the out-in club path recently. Your explanation is superb Martina. Thank you.
Happy I could help!
Martina, Thank you for another great video. Your explanations are so easy to understand and to implement.
Thank you John! Glad you like my videos!
Great advice. This really gives meaning to your chest covering the ball. Everything follows the left shoulder going up and back, or up and away.
Great explanation of where the low point is, have been struggling with this for months.
Thank you.

Thank you very much Bill!
She is soooo good at teaching!!!!!
🥰
Awesome and simple. Thankyou
Thanks for the comment! You are very welcome!
Great little lesson. First one I have seen to describe what you must do with respect to the shoulder in such simple terms. Makes so much sense as the shoulder is clearly the centre point of the swing. I believe we guys would learn more from womens golf swings than we ever could from trying to do what male pros do.
I would recommend this anyway Mick. It's easier to watch and see cause the movement is not so ultrafast as the swings of the guys! I heard that many times and of course I agree :)
excellent. super glad i found you and your info.
Great explanation, thanks
You are welcome! Hope it helps you!
Excellent information! THIS is what I want to focus in on. I've never quite focused in on this move. Even though your swing looks perfect, I never "dialed in" on the shoulder movement, now I will. This move/feel is one that I never thought about implementing. Bottom line is that I need to feel that my lead shoulder moves slightly downward in the takeaway while my trailing shoulder (right shoulder for me ) moves back. This is proper rotation when the golfer has correct bending of the pelvis at address. You can watch videos of Hogan, you will see this move as well. BTW, I would never challenge you to a game because I noticed the middle of your clubface has evidence of being CONSISTENTLY hit!
Thanks for sharing! Glad you like my video! There will be many more!
You have the best-looking shoulders and arms out of all the golf teaching professionals on TH-cam! Please consider doing a video on how to become physically fit for golf. I live in a small town with a nice size gym/ weight room, and the trainers here don't know anything about sport specific training for golf. They only know how to train American football and baseball players 😂😂😂
Thanks a lot, please follow me on Instagram, there you can see all my workouts and stuff I do for my physical fitness! Let me know if that helps!
Yeah she’s freaking ripped. It’s a rare thing to see with golf coaches and you can tell she goes hard in the gym. I wish the guys coaches out there looked half as good as her haha
Excellent instruction bravo!
Thank you Liam!
Very well explained, and useful to most golfers, thanks
You are welcome, thanks for your comment!
This is great advice & something I can follow along with...excited to practice this.
Let me know Nancy how it works!
I’m new to your channel, but loved the way you explained the low point. I have struggled with consistent contact all my golfing years… maybe now with practice I will fine the low point more consistently….. if I can learn to control the speed of the transition in my back swing I’m sure I will now… Thanks, I’m subscribed and looking forward to your teaching and tips.
Thanks for subscribing Rickie! There is much more to come!
Well explained Martina
Thank you very much! Giving my best :)
Excellent explanation,
Thanks a lot! Happy you like it!
Very clear explanation..thanks 😊 Stressdr
Thank you Martin!
Love your lesson
Thank you Joshua! Glad you like it!
I love your simplicity Marina.
Thank you Mark!
Greetings from Dublin, Ireland Martina ,fantastic tutorial videos, thank you
Thank you very much! I've been to Ireland many times to play the Irish Women's Open. Very very nice people you are!!!
sehr gut erklärt. It now makes sense why the foreswing feels correct when my chest is pointing upward after contact. Vielen Dank, junge Profi!
Absolutely!!! Sehr gerne!
Great coaching
Your videos have been a revelation! Easy to understand and visualize for my game. Btw, will you sell me that beautiful J. Lindeberg bag? 😂😂😂
Thank you very much Nicole. You can buy this bag on JL Online I guess!
I've watched two of your videos, and you've explained things better than a hundred others I've watched! I'm in! Keep up the good work. Great video, Martina!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful swings!
thank you!!
I enjoyed the gun show. 💪
...will be continued :)... But I hope you also liked the content!
Brilliant lesson 👏
Thanks Ray!
Sweet eight iron. Perfect sound.
That was actually really good, you are right...
this is fantastic thank you!
You are welcome!
I randomly came across your channel and this is the first time i have seen this explained so simply and so well! I look forward to going through your other videos. Will you make a video on how to initiate the downswing so the trail arm goes down and not out? Im trying this advice tomorrow at the range. Thanks!
Thanks for your comment! Hopefully it worked out on the range!
@@martina_eberl_coaching_en It definitely helped! I didn't really even need to focus on weight transfer, that just dort of happened when I focused on raising the shoulder. Great!
@@underworldjack4877 Thats great news! Thanks for letting me know!!! Keep going!
Nice demonstration.
Thank you!
Interesting the way you describe the low point under the left armpit but for most people the low point is 6 inches behind the ball.
Thats why I need to explain it and everybody can take care of it more...
Great video. Not many pros know this. Awesome!
Thank you Rob!!
great lesson!
Thank you!
So do you hit a Hybrid at a low point? I must say your driver help put me back on track . I played my irons yesterday backing the ball up because for first time I understand your low point teaching . Your video more valuable than all my previous lessons.❤❤❤
Thats great news Jill! And yes the Hybrid is sitting on the ground, so you have to put it behind your low point - Ball-Bottom
Great advice
Thank you!
Your explanation of the golf swing was easy to understand and presented perfectly,I hope I can duplicate your instructions.
Thanks, let me know how you are doing with it!
Great arms
Thank you :)
Thank you very much.
You are very welcome!
Martina, great explanation! Finally, I understood a fundamental and crucial part of the swing. Enlightening! Thanks a lot
You are very welcome! And that's my goal to make this so difficult game explained a bit easier...
Hi Martina. Great demo! Great instructions, great to see a lady for a change.!Pls help. One question. At the take away, what moves first. The shoulder or the hips? What's the very first thing you will feel move? Looking forward to hearing you.
Regards, Tanya
I am a fan of the shoulder, cause the rest will come as well if you move it in the correct way! If you start with the hip, you run danger to make a straighter turn again. Watch my other video about the turn for it!
Excellent demonstration and explanation for low point and how to manage it during the swing!! First video I have seen of yours and very impressed. I subbed and will be going through your other videos. Thanks, Jeff
Thanks Jeff! There will be many more coming! I already have 240 on my German Account, so you can expect many more!
Martina, I do have a question. During the backswing, would I make better contact by keeping my left arm straight in front of my body or allow it to cross my chest at the top of my swing? I believe I have trouble returning the club square at the bottom at contact because I leave the club behind my left shoulder with my body out racing the hands and clubhead to the ball. Typical miss is to the right push or if I flip at the bottom I tend to hit the heel because I close the face too fast and hit the ball on line but fade it. I'm always thinking I'm coming over the top but the ball rarely comes out left? I'm trying to decide if I'm playing the clubface too closed as a compensation. I do know I hit the ball more flush when I open the clubface. Sorry for the long winded comment/question. I'm 61 and been playing with the same swing faults for 30 years. LOL Hopefully you can help me change that! Thanks, Jeff
♥️♥️perfect! Ty...I'm going to the range
Again, let me know how it works this time!
Better flight wise...I must continue with this and increase my swing speed. Would you like to see the table?
@@jamesfrancis7284 All good, was just curious if it helps you!
@@martina_eberl_coaching_en thx it did...now I gotta dial it in
May you could do some videos on how to get great pipes (arms) like your. My group always says…if you can’t golf well you should at least look good 😂 great lesson. Thanks. I’ve subscribed
:). Well, just follow me on Instagram, there you get most of my workouts and routines. And yes, you always have to show up in a decent way :) And if you keep watching my videos, your Golf will become better as well ;)
I see improvement already. I’ll keep working out throughout the winter. Can’t score my age yet (70), but will one day I hope😃 cheers Randy
@@randycousineau9274 Keep going Randy! Fingers crossed!
i'm left handed but golf right and i kinda key on my left side. left shoulder down and left hip and knee back then pull with those parts on the down swing, seems to work. thnx for the help.
Any time, glad that I could help!
Hello Martina, low point and shoulder rotation (dipping the shoulder) great help for my golf Improvement any tips on how to grip the golf club in a correct way. Thanks.
Thanks for your feedback David!
Good explanation that I can understand when I make my swing should I be looking at the low point area where the clubhead hits the ground and go through the ball or during the downswing should I be looking at the ball thanks for your help let me know Jack
Hi Jack, I always prefer looking at the ball. I wanna hit the ball and have the intention to hit down on it. The club will travel downwards!!!
Thank you for your excellent teaching. This video helped me very much. When I concentrate on my left shoulder going down then up, during the swing do I also shift weight to my left and rotate my forearms? Or just stay relaxed and concentrate only on the left shoulder? A few of the swings I made worked well. It seems too simple only to concentrate on the shoulders. thank you, Jeff
Hi Jeff, if you really stay back and pull your shoulder up, your low point will stay behind the ball you could hit it fat or thin. You have to shift onto the left leg and pull yourself up along a wall in your mind. I might do a video about this. But it also depends where you are coming from. If you tend to be behind the ball mostly, you gotta initiate the shift. If you are far ahead and too much left normally, what a few golfers do, its enough if you think pulling up the shoulder... Hope that helps!
@@martina_eberl_coaching_en thank you
I’ve really been enjoying your videos ! In regards to the low point , you spent some time on the low point being too far forward but I ( and alot of my buddies ) struggle with low point too far BEHIND the ball ! Can you provide some help for this issue ?
Many thanks !
Thank you, well thats the problem what more guys have, but I agree, hanging back is also an issue. There will be many more videos coming, which might help them! Make them watch this video, that might already help!
Thanks appreciate it
You are welcome Johnny!
Hello Martina.
Very good viewing and teaching on the low point of the swing.
My only concern is would this lifting of the left shoulder encourage early extension, and if so how would you stop this.
Of course you gotta keep your bodyangle. You have to stay bent and maybe you wanna watch the ball more sidewards flying away and not with a high upright finish.. Hope that helps!
excellent
Thank you!!!
Awesome
Thank you!
Great stuff. What about the shoulder tilt at downswing? It will also effect the low point?
If you stay centered not. If you are moving too far to the right / sidewards, yes. But if you do the turn correctly down towards the ball, your body will stay centered anyway! Hope that helps?!
I can relate to "tragic." 😂
:) I guess many could do :)
