He’s gonna change the game like Steph changed basketball. Get ready for tons of kids with dislocated ankles.

The first one is amazing

When someone who plays a power fade tries to hit a draw.

That looks painful, lol.

I genuinely don’t understand how his left ankle is ok.

A thing of beauty.

if he was a random redditor he would be getting downvotes and swing advice

It’s crazy because he is absolutely off balance but intentional with his footwork.

Scottie’s swing proves that as long as you own your swing, it doesn’t matter what it looks like. This swing is the ugliest on tour. Yet, that boy is #1.
DeepSouthDude
Dude says “I’m not gonna fuck up my knee like tiger, but I still need that power. What can I do?”
This is the result.

Swear I heard him let out a squecker after one of those.

It’s like the guy made a wish to a geenie to be able to hit a golf ball the best in the world and the geenie didn’t change his swing

I hit one like that on Sunday, if like that you mean it wasn’t on purpose and not near as far, but great contact and I finished in the same position. Out of 100 shots probably couldn’t do it again
Kripsch
Used to call him “boring” a few years ago. Man am I eating my words on that, dude is electric.

Is it the shoes?
Just do it.
It’d be a great Nike Ad.

Tiger said something to the effect ‘everyone focusses on his feet, but his ball striking is perfect, and that’s the important part’

wtf is that??
B-BoyStance
I saw a video of Tiger talking about how he shoots long irons now after injuries. He does that same swoop thing with his arms, I think he said just because it hurts less & he can still generate the power he needs by doing that.
But Scottie is perfectly healthy so it’s just hilarious to see his swing. I would love to hear those two talk about it lmao
Sufficient-March-225
When I do this swing I’m a caveman redditor who needs lessons
When Scottie does this swing it’s “classy”
All jokes aside if you slow it down at impact it’s perfect form, some of those shots you can tell he’s just letting the feet slide after contact for whatever reason to get the shot shape he wants. That’s the difference from the best in the world compared to all of us schmucks.
In that’s split second on the downswing he just says hey, I’m gonna turn the hips even harder because it’s not where I want the shot and just adjusts. Insane really
Gullible_Mud_7885
Not gonna lie, I’m trying to emulate his weight shift. It’s not going great
YourSwolyness
So the one thing people never understand the difference between top players and their swings…the top of the head stays on plane. Every great ball striker, no matter the swing, keeps the head on plane.
TrueBlueBaller
In most of these clips he is trying to draw the ball. Don’t knock it until you try it… and twist an ankle.
dosequisguy1
There’s some poor guy out there saying “SEE!!! My goofy [broken] swing isn’t the problem! I just need more time on the range…”
mmso101
Looks like he has to pee everytime lol
jiggeroni
Ok no way his left ankle lasts very long. I’m not a doctor but that can’t be good for his foot ligaments long term.
Watch it again and watch his foot
fullthrottle13
He literally beats the piss out of the ball..technique be damned..mfer is doing something right.
tayman77
Hes murdering the ground with his feet, so getting a lot of ground force, and times the hip rotation peferctly when the face contacts the ball.
And that slide out probably lessons the torque on his knees. Tiger probably wishes he’d known the scottie shuffle back in the day
Longflop
All jokes aside, I don’t see how he will still be able to swing like this in his mid to late 30’s. Feels like the kind of swing that generates injuries.
Wirelessness
I think I should swing harder.
Chrisfit
His Tee shots aren’t what carries him. His scoring irons and putts put him at number one.
CW1DR5H5I64A
*Pshhh.* I’d like to see him pull that off in 3 inches of pine detritus and tree roots. Scotties ankles wouldn’t last to the turn playing in my world.
LCDJosh
The ball doesn’t care what you do after you hit it.
silverfrog1
We like to play a drinking game of taking a shot every time the Eurosport announcers refer to Scottie as the “world number one” but nobody can keep going after about 4 holes.

It’s only weird if you don’t win.
