The corkscrew snatch is a kettlebell exercise where, during the portion of the movement where the KB rotates flips over, the hand rotates around the handle, resembling a corkscrew.

Why does this matter?
Because subtle adjustments in your form and technique—identifying the right modifications for your individual needs, fitness level, and goals—can dramatically impact your results.
This could be the key to achieving the fitness results you’ve been working so hard for!
To be sure you’re making the most of these techniques, having a skilled kettlebell coach by your side can be invaluable.
