There is no one in golf that hits the ball better than Scottie Scheffler – And that’s not hyperbole.
Scheffler directs PGA Tour to SG: Off the Tee and SG: Access to the 2025 season. Last year, it was in the first two in both categories as well. The season before that? The same thing.
Adding to the benefits that failed at the Liv Golf League for comparison does a little to make a convincing counterbalance. According to Golf dataScheffler’s last two seasons would be ranked as the best two seasons of ball hit More In the non-tiger Woods Division.
Just say, Scheffler is in a generative running hitting the golf ball.
The ridiculous thing is, if you have only seen its swing, you can mistake it for a handicap 15. With legs moving more than a dancer in the hall, Scheffler routinely ends its shaking balance and near the fall. There is a pace that you will necessarily learn as an instructor, but it is the one that Scheffler has cursed close.
Despite the shock look By the swinging of Scheffler, it is filled with elements that make it one of the most effective movements of all time – including his anxious feet. Talking to the media before the third round in Oakmont, Johnny Miller -On one of the greatest attackers of all time — he listed his knowledge Scheffler’s unique oscillation.

“I’ve never heard my shake analyzed that way,” Nicklaus said. “He had died. That was really good.” Pic.twitter.com/wsdmqexupx

“He has an unusual foot job, but a little like (Mark) Calcavecchia and Greg Norman with his right foot entering the ball,” Miller said. “The right foot pulls this way, they pull it and that kind hits a high pallor. When you make it movement with the right foot, pulling it back into the stroke area, it strikes a high pallor, which Jack (Nicklaus) loves that high pallor.”
When Scheffler moves his feet while landing, it also helps him create space for his hands to move through the area of influence. As some players collect the ball and eliminate the space for their hands and arms to move freely through shaking, the action of Scheffler’s foot helps do the opposite.
“Scottie has an unusual way to get into the ball and slide the right leg behind it,” Miller said. “But that apparently allows him to take his right hip, not in the stroke, but off the road, and allows his hands to stay close to his body and swing down a plane.”
As Scheffler holds the club square
A very shallow route of shaking – what works from the inside – can be clumsy in the current golf era, but Scheffler’s oscillation opposes that convention. Instead of getting too shallow during landing, Scheffler comes a little faster.
“Scottie has received a kind of old -fashioned shake,” Miller said. “Most boys are playing – the club are coming (and then going (out). He goes like Jack, and even the way I was shaken with my handcuffs, right on the line and straight down the line, and keeps the square face longer, so I think that’s an advantage.”
Basically, Scheffler’s fastest path functions as a superpower with its cuffs. Compared to the need to flatten the club towards Impact, the most neutral route of shaking allows him to keep the club square longer through the impact area. The result is handcuffs that come out of the face with very little curve. More often than not, they are pursuing directly to his objective.
