The hottest golfer on the planet right now is Scottie Scheffler, and he’s just won his first major (and the first major of 2022), The Masters at Augusta National.
Let’s take a look at Scottie’s golf swing and how his trademark foot slide is actually a lot less “unique” that many would have you believe. I’ll also show you how Scottie’s swing falls within the Stack & Tilt framework and how he conforms nicely to the Stack & Tilt 10 Word Template of WEIGHT FORWARD, SHOULDER DOWN, HANDS IN, ARMS STRAIGHT and TUCK HIPS. In fact, Scottie moves his hips more forward throughout his swing than almost any other golfer! This pelvis moving forwards ➡️➡️➡️ is a fundamental movement displayed by the best players in the world. If you think there is no “hip slide/sway” in the golf swing, then you’re very much mistaken.
Once you see that most good golf swing area more similar, than different, I’ll share an awesome Driver drill with you to help you learn the Stack & Tilt “TUCK HIPS” and build the movements into your swing to help you hit the Driver better than ever before! (Remember, Stack & Tilt was built for the Driver).

"Holy Grail" hips. Good stuff sir.
Excellent video. Keep ‘em coming please.
Another great video. Thank you so much for all your videos they help me so much. 😉🏌♀️🏌♂️🏌
Great videos on the latest tour winners. All have their unique quirks but most important is what recreational golfers can learn from these great players. Gives the channel a nice little variety and flavor of the week learning oportunity.
Great insight Rob! I just watched your driver series for P1-P8 & this video is a great companion piece.
Can you go over what you are thinking, or not thinking, during the swing? I know I hyper focus on a few things which I think is affecting my swing, like hitting center of the face but I haven’t moved my lower body enough.
Awesome 🏌️👍✌️
Very interesting analysis of Scottie's swing. I like the idea of keeping your weight forward. Thanks.
Great content Rob, keep up the good work. I’m searching for more info on the friend in Stuart Fl, 24/7 but cannot find anything. Could you provide some help about location.
Great stuff as usual. I'm golfing tomorrow, so I'll put these tips to good use and "see how I get on"
You’re so great! This is exactly what I needed to see and to hear. Thank you 😊
Great video Rob and sequences of Scottie's swing. You recommend 80/20 weight with driver. I'm assuming its the same for hybrids and irons ??
Another great video with fantastic insight Rob. Thanks!
Hi， Rob, Your 80/20 weight distribution and try to keep it unchanged in whole siwng helps me a lot of for driver and irons.
Yes very good lesson & drill of the golf swing – looking forward to your next lesson- keith
Rob, Very helpful video. I had thought that the head position at the top of the backswing and at impact was supposed to be at the right of the body center, I mean further away back from the target. The reason being that I had thought that that head position would help to shallow both the shaft in the down swing and the angle of attack/impact. Now, I realize that wasn’t entirely correct. Best wishes,Thanks.
Thanks Rob for the effort in making this video. I'm enjoying my golf more than ever thanks to you, your channel is the best. This video of Scotttie's swing was very helpful because I thought that I had to lean more back on setup with the driver, which didn't work so well for me. Seeing Scottie standing straighter makes me feel better and I will continue doing the same.
Does anyone notice how tall he is? Mr. Scheffler is 6'3'. Every golfer is different. I have long arms and short legs. If I use the same swing plane and hip thrust as Scottie the results would be catastrophic. Rob you are a great coach and Scottie is the hottest golfer in the last 20 years.
Having troubles getting the hips forward. What muscles are you using ? Or what are you feeling to get forward? Are you pushing off the trail leg?
Great video like always
Thanks Rob. Can you recommend a S&T trainer in San Francisco North Bay Area, say around Sonoma, Petaluma or Santa Rosa area?
Really enjoy your very professional videos.
Beautiful swing from Scottie!! I recently filmed myself & the improvement this winter hitting foam balls inside has been astronomical! Than you Golftec guys in Singapore! Now I have to take that swing outside with my driver, which I can't swing inside lest I destroy the ceiling in my rec room.
The videos are great, keep them coming.

Always appreciated and always something gained from your instruction. Thanks Rob
Great Vid! But need some clarification/detail. It is important to me for you to keep measuring the energy transfer from initial setup to transition to follow through: 80/20 at set up to 90/10 at top etc. Secondly, it looks like your hips are level (and maintain mostly level) through impact. It is your shoulders that are tilted down not hips so much! Is that right? When I get hips aren't level for me, I get too much tilt behind the ball and stub the club in the ground. Thank you for your hard work.
Great video and content Rob.
Always been told to keep my weight on my right side at address with the driver.
I have been struggling for a couple of years now with driver (push and weak drives to the right, no distance).
Will give this 80/20 a try.
Thank you Rob.
I was trying your set-up (80-20) and I couldn't eliminate hitting behind the ball particularly with longer clubs during the down swing. When I look at Scottie's set-up at 0.29, it appears that he is 50-50. And at 2.02/3.02, based on his upper body tilt, his weight is more towards his right leg or behind the ball rather than at the left leg. I think this enables him to "swing thru the ball" with the driver.
Great video. Thanks for the informative analysis! Constructive criticism though: fix that audio. Sounds like your microphone’s gain is too high and distorted.
Hi, forward we go.thank you sr
Rob, would comment on the amount of upper body extension at the top of Scottie's backswing? He appears to exhibit as much "wood chopping" motion as any Tour Pro I've seen on the backswing (on the follow-through as well). I'm sure it contributes to a huge shoulder turn and steady head, but doesn't there HAVE to be some influence on transition where you're borderline losing balance TOWARDS the target in a "drift" (a/k/a prop drill-like) move? Would love your thoughts. Thanks!
Thanks for your channel. Very informative. Quick question on setup. Do you setup with weight balanced on the balls of your feet or is it more toward the heel?
Fantastic stuff Rob!!! Please keep them coming.
Rob, this move is something I am working on with my Golftec coach. If I understand correctly you recommend a rotation of the pelvis, as a feel, to transition pressure as opposed to bumping the hip?
Love your videos – got an idea for a concept that I've never seen addressed anywhere else…
In Stack and Tilt there is a focus on weight forward and all the focus seems to be on this. But what about your weight as it relates to toes-heel in your left and right leg? Traditional golf says backswing = weight moves to left foot toe, right foot heel; downswing = weight moves to left foot heel, right foot toe. Since we're keeping so much weight forward, what is 'best practice' with S&T?
Main reason I ask: I tend to not get my weight back on to left heel at impact and follow through – which then causes heel shots (and even shanks) as my weight is too far forward. But I'm struggling on the idea of what exactly I should be doing and any drills to fix this… Should I have my weight on left heel and it never leaves that?
