Scottie Scheffler's Secret Move for Distance & Accuracy
PGA instructor Adam Bazalgette analyzes Scottie Scheffler's signature move to help golfers stop coming over the top. By focusing on lateral hip movement and a vertical arm drop, golfers can create more space for the club to approach from the inside. The video features the '45-Degree Downswing Drill' to transform a steep, high-spin strike into a powerful, shallow hit for maximum distance.
Avoid 'aiming' at the ball from the top of the swing; this causes a steep, over-the-top move.
The hips must shift toward the target early in the downswing to create space for the arms.
Practice dropping the arms vertically behind the body at a 45-degree angle to ensure a shallow club path.
For power, the club must stay 'behind' you longer rather than being thrown directly at the ball.
If you successfully move the path more inside, you must remember to tilt the clubface down (closed) to prevent a push.
