Now, Scheffler may not actually have a textbook golf swing, nor is it one that many instructors would teach

However, there are four key points throughout his swing which make him so brilliantly consistent, and they are all easily replicable, if you want to put the work in, of course.

Scheffler recently said amateurs struggle with their swings due to a lack of flexibility.

Gaining more mobility by stretching is a sure-fire way to improve your golf game, but there are plenty of other golf tips that can help us all.

Scheffler has been unstoppable at times on the PGA Tour over the past two seasons, but what is it that makes him so good?

The answer to that question is actually a variety of different things.

Four key things amateurs can learn from Scottie Scheffler’s swing

If you’re an amateur golfer looking to get better, there are certain things that Scheffler does in his swing which you can easily learn from.

The first key thing we can all try to replicate from Scheffler’s swing is, just like the greatest of them all – Jack Nicklaus, he maintains the same height with his hands at the top and his backswing and his finish. This enables him to keep the club on a really good plane throughout his swing and that is why he is so accurate with his driver and his irons.

The second thing we can all learn from Scheffler is the position of his head at impact. His chin points behind the ball, rather than in front of it and that means he’s not turning through the shot too early.

Thirdly, Scheffler never allows his clubface to flip over. He always holds the clubface square for as long as possible and the best feeling for this is maintaining a gap between your left and right forearms after impact. If you are someone who rolls their forearms over through impact, you most likely don’t have great clubface control.

And finally, the world number one’s movement with his feet is something we can all learn from. If you watch Scheffler’s swing in slow motion, his feet do not move until after impact. That means that he has incredible stability throughout his swing, but by shifting his feet after impact, he limits the tension and stress on his lower back and hips.

Contrary to popular belief, movement of your feet AFTER you’ve made contact really isn’t a bad thing whatsoever.

What Gary Player said about Scottie Scheffler’s swing

Gary Player is usually highly critical of modern-day golf stars.

However, Player was actually extremely complimentary of Scheffler’s swing back in 2024.

He said: “I think Scottie Scheffler has got ‘it’, he has ‘it’.

“This guy, he is phenomenal. Everybody talks about his swing, I think he’s got a great swing. His backswing is perfect and his downswing he gets all his weight to the left side, he slides a bit, but so what? It’s no beauty contest.“

Player has absolutely nailed it there. By shuffling his feet after impact it enables him to shift his weight onto his left hand side, thus creating more power and allowing himself room to complete his swing to the finish.

While certain golf instructors may discourage amateurs from copying Scheffler’s swing, there are undoubtedly numerous things we can all learn from the world number one.

However, improvement will not be possible without hard work and dedication, just like everything else in life.
