When should you perform a Quick Turn in God of War Ragnarok? 

Quick Turn is most useful when you’re facing enemies from all sides. It can be used during any combat sections, be it on smaller enemies or a boss battle. When a boss rushes you and tries to get a drop on you from behind, that’s when Quick Turn becomes handy. 

Having to hold down L1, which is the Shield button, and press down on the D-pad makes it incredibly useful as you can instantly open your Shield after performing a Quick Turn. Some enemies have the tendency to rush past you and attack you from behind. In this situation, performing a Quick Turn allows you to spot the enemy quickly as well as block any incoming attack using your Shield.
