*Thank you for your insights. Scotty's significant contributions are evident in his above-the-waist setup, arm positioning, both shoulder full rotation, and the balance of his left arm 🔥 to achieve the desired sweet spot action on the plane and path chosen.*

Thanks for an excellent video. I watched it before my round this morning and it reminded me to keep my head in the shot and to back tilt for pure strikes. Unfortunately, I sometimes lose these mechanics and can’t figure out the cause of poor and inconsistent contact.

Works for Scotty because he does other things that compensate for the lateral shift and excessive spine tilt 2:43. If this move is taught, it needs to come with auxiliary moves to prevent dumping the club under the plane.

good stuff! One thing is after watching the end is I am sure glad i live in Arizona! 🙂

Hope you get that hand better! One day it may stop raining in Scotland and you’ll be able to play😅

How does Scottie do driver? Off the tee? How much does that weight shifting change?

"Matchups in the golf swing". Yes indeed J! Too much golf instruction lacks this fine print so thank you! And one other aspect that needs to be emphasized. One of the very few universal golf truths to hitting like a professional hitters. A "steady" head. Note how little Scottie's or any pro's head moves laterally from address to impact. This does lots of things, but generally speaking it secures the lead shoulders relationship (radius) to the ball. Picture a pendulum. This is so critical to consistently maintaining the low spot of the swing axis produced at address. So yes you can plant and shift like Scottie, but if you don't keep your head from shifting it will not be productive! In my experience this the least intuitive aspect of the swing. In all other sports where you plant your feet and throw a ball forward, its fine for your head to follow the lower body weight transfer a bit. Not in golf!

So all we have to do is move the ball further back in our stance? Lol

Sort of hurt my hand too….ripped skin off contact point on grip of middle finger of left hand during second bucket at range 2 days ago … wish i could say it was some massive strikes that caused it , but no, it was working on trying to get more speed on my 54 yr old ass’s drive to make up for age loss of distance …😜glad u put the caveat about this maybe not working for a non pro. I have to constantly work on not getting to tall/over the top in my swing.

I had been wondering why his rear foot slides forward. This video shows why he has to move it and the slide move that causes it. It makes me wonder how any golfer who finishes on the left side can keep their right foot back in its original position but they do it somehow. I tried for years to get my hands further ahead at impact but the only way I can do it is to slide the whole body to the left more, so that only the top of my head has not moved to the left (except feet of course).

There is a difference between your video and the move of Scotty. His head stays at the same place until impact. Did you intent this?

I'm almost 50. I fear what would happen if I transitioned to this...more power to you if you can swing like this.

head over right knee, interesting

😁👍

you cannot practice enough with these two drills to help your golf swing. L to L and the Walk-through drill for golf.

Oh geesch, sheffler is way forward; no wonder he has happy feet. Nobody should emulate that swing; if they want to break 💯.

UKposts says don't bump, so Scotty's wrong! Case closed.🤔
