first
As always, super interesting content! Power/loading feels more retained when keeping right leg bent instead of straightening in the backswing. Thanks Luke
It’s not the oblique muscles that you describe early and shown in blue. It’s called fascia. It’s a connective tissue that you correctly described. This tissue is almost impossible for the human body to really “stretch”. It’s super tough and strong.
Thank you Golf Digest for another great insightful video
I would like to see a video of Scheffler's gym workout.
Second Comment:)

i could beat scottie in match play
scottie Mcilroy
I have been saying for ages that his dancing was a reaction, I was just wasnt sure why 😅 though I did expect it had something to do with GRF
Another great video LKD
Great video again, Luke. You are as consistent at good videos as Scottie is with good swings.
I think something you could have touched on is how much lateral shift of the hips Scottie makes towards the ball compared to others. It allows the club face to remain square at the bottom of the arc for just a split second longer.
Moe Norman is the exaggeration of this shift but the results speak for themselves
what was title of the study
I always thought he swung like Jack, wide and wide .
Do Cameron Young next.
This guy said nothing in 6 minutes
Imagine watching this being one of the dudes they used as an example of a crap swing 💀
Reminds me of my own swing.
Good video as always, but I’m not really sure how much this is unique to Scheffler’s swing. If you watch Justin Thomas, his swing is equally steep and gets way off into the air—and he’s like 165lbs soaking wet. Guys like Jake Knapp or Rory are also smaller than Scheffler. No doubt Scheffler is the best ball striker in the world right now, but I could name 10-20 guys on the PGA tour who are pound for pound getting more out of their workouts and Xfactor stretches.
Nobody is talking about his left elbow break on the downswing. You’re welcome.
he is the worst chef, I asked for a sandwich and he handed me a sand'wedge'
mayor of yapsville
Talk about being light on one’s feet. He’s weightless at impact practically.
What a load of nothing that was said in this video. Jesus 🤦♂️
How about quitting obsessing over body part positions? This is a sport. Let your body create the shot instinctively. This is evidenced by MLB pitchers throwing pin point accurate throws over 100 mph lifting their whole leg off the ground. Baseball hitters. It doesn’t take precision to hit a 100 mph fastball? Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, and Jack Nicklaus et al. had it figured out 50 plus years ago! Tiger had his career RUINED over this hip and knee restricting nonsense.
Another phenomenal video Luke & Co. … thanks
I thought I had a pretty decent natural swing. Then I had a few lessons and realised that I'm doing every single thing wrong, I just have good enough hand-eye coordination to occasionally make up for the bad swing and hit a decent shot regardless. And I do mean occasionally, most of the time I can't hit a fairway. But maybe in, uh, 5 to 10 years I'll be able to hit a few more.
It's funny golf, one person wins, and everybody tries to copy them 😂 like im going to get that glove, im going to start using that putter grip, im going to start lining my ball up. Living in somebody elses shadow.
Great video…….again 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice explanation but is very simplified. Of course, the basics of golf are the grip and the stance etc, but just as fundamental are the correct wrist movements and, most importantly, how the arms move in the downswing. That’s exactly what he does exceptionally well—he manages to keep his arms in front of his body instead of getting stuck behind him like most good golfers do.
As for the gym workouts—that’s secondary in this case. Even without a gym routine, he would still be capable of shooting regular rounds under par.
Well!How good Scottie really is we need to wait another 3 years down the road😊.

Check out Bradley Hughes if you really want to know why Scottie does what he does. Vapor trails
His secret is bad balance.
he jumps bc hes using ground forces properly. the TPI office chair drill also shows this movement
