The Overreaction to Scottie Scheffler Feet?

[saevel25]

I keep hearing people talk about how crazy Scottie Scheffler's feet are during his golf swing. I think it is pretty much a huge overreaction.

I mean, here is Scottie just past impact. Umm... nothing unusual going on here. 🤣

There has been plenty of golfer's who have feet that move around. Bubba's lead foot would rotate a ton into the finish. 

Now, my ankles cringe at this position, lol. Still, nothing to crazy. He just lets his right foot slide forward during his turn because he has a wide stance, and his right turn pulls the foot forward.

Nothing strange here. 

Yea, I am kind-of getting tired of people talking about what his feet are doing in the golf swing.

Yeah, me too. It IS a bit unusual, though, for them to move that much. But… it's largely after impact, and it shows how much he's putting into it.

People are going to talk about it just because it looks different, and to the majority of the audience, that’s the only part they understand. It’s very similar to the AimPoint looks stupid talking point.

My ankles aren't in the best shape - I could not possibly do what he does.

Would also add, someone like Kyle Berkshire - if you watch him hit drivers, his left foot winds up a long way away from where it started, but it doesn't look as unbalanced as Scheffler's (to my eye anyway).

I think Scheffler only looks unbalanced because he keeps part of his lead foot planted so he ends up kind of rolling his ankle instead. If he let it come off the ground it would move very similar to Berkshire’s.

It's because no one squeezes the shit out of their butt like Scottie does. 😜

Three cups of coffee and an egg and cheese biscuit in I-4 traffic will have you squeezing with the best of them.
