"pretty good."

[@Marco-er5sx]

Scheffler - so good! 👍 TaylorMade video editing team - not so good: You forgot to "unfreeze" the flags on the green at Schefflers third shot (5:28)😁👌

“Just trying to get a look, not trying to be perfect.” *hits perfect shot every time*

[@Ryang1074]

It’s disgusting how good he is

[@garyspence2128]

Well...he is a professional, after all. This is how he pays his rent. No room for slacking off. Refreshing that he's so matter of fact about it. Just another working man, who put in the practice and grind to reach this level of skill. I have occasionally hit a golf shot that purely, but it was totally accidental. Feels good...

[@danzna]

My process from 160 yards out (after my second shot on a par 4) - 5 iron, aim about 30 degrees left to compensate for my slice. Pray that I get it within 25 yards of the green so I can chip it on and 3 put my way for a triple bogey.

[@darkraider7]

Great advice to hear from a tour pro, visualize starting the ball in the middle and work it towards the pin. He's so good right now with his irons, I really think he will win the Masters. Thanks for the video. It's funny to hear a tour pro talk through their shots, I feel like I think more when hitting than a guy who does this for a living.

[@nicholas1460]

If you're like me you probably drink more as well. :)

[@ST-xg3gy]

He did.

[@steviechampagne]

He won the Masters and a WHOLE LOT MORE this year. Easily the most dominant golfer since Prime Tiger Woods and it is exciting to follow him. I’ve even copied his upright swing and it helps me out a lot as a tall golfer. You can shallow out so much easier and get so much speed im just thankful I get to be a fan

[@Papa-Bogey]

155y out. “Worse case scenario, I’m on the green.” Me? That’s best case scenario. Worst case scenario is me hitting again from 150y. I do enjoy listening to SS about his thought process. Then watch him play I understand a little better whats he’s up to.

[@BeefyPreacher]

ahaha 🤣

[@jeffyboi6969]

if you're about to hit 155 yd shot and have a chance of hitting 5 yds give up golf 🤣

[@andrewwilson6990]

@@jeffyboi6969you are a class a moron. I’ve seen some really good golfers too balls that go five yards, or screw up a tee shot and the ball doesn’t leave the tee green. This is a gentleman’s game and 99% who play it are kind and caring, and accepting of others, regardless of how good they are. You should stay far away from this game. You’re an embarrassment.

[@nates7844]

A genius at managing his misses. You can see exactly why he has the highest GIR on tour

[@adventuresofjandk]

Guy is unreal. Saw him live at the Masters this year and was blown away. So good he even skipped a ball across the water during the practice round.

[@ethanaderemi]

He is amazing, but almost all pros can skip balls on the water.

[@MattLangan1]

I’m a +1 and picked up so much value from this video. Thank you Scottie for being willing to share your insights! Love your mindset.

[@ohwowthatsgood]

Ok. Now; how would you hit the shot if you delivered the club to the ball with an open face 60% of the time and you hit it off the toe 50% of the time and it might be thin or fat, you really have no idea. How would you play that?

[@Murf1802]

Beautiful shots, thoughts, amazing Athlete, I never meet him, but hearing about him and watching him play, no wonder he's a fan favorite, but the most important thing is he's an incredible Athlete and just as good as a person, which means everything to me.Take the golf out of the equation and you have a great human being. That's why he's one of my favorite golfers to route for, Congratulations on the Masters victory, well deserved.

When he burst onto the scene a lot of us thought the bubble would soon burst. Nope, he has proven that he is the real deal, both mentally and skillfully. Only thing is, I don't see amateurs trying to copy his swing 🙂

What's so crazy about his swing? Its quite ordinary.

[@KingSadim]

@@outlander234 I'm referring to the Sheffler Shuffle

[@JT________________]

What a phenomenal video. Very simple and just very helpful.

[@barkerstrains8065]

So…I can do these things with a pitching wedge and 9 iron also…from 120-130 yards. At 161 yds I’m hitting a 6-5 iron, and it’s SIGNIFICANTLY more difficult.

[@dekmartrades]

Wow. This guy could be really good one day.

[@usernameusernameusername123]

An absolute machine 👍

[@mikegrier2829]

I heard very little thought/talk about negatives other than being long to the back pin. I think I could use more of that mindset. That’s how my brain works when I am playing really well. If I could just adopt that from the first tee on, playing really well or not, maybe I’d play really well more often.

[@eriksvideos6022]

Swing seems like a more powerful version of Steve Stricker's. More body rotation and arc, but similar in their simplicity. Not a lot of wrist manipulation or rerouting of the shaft.

[@alexanderturl]

Personally I’d play all 3 pins with the same shot, skulled 7 iron with a mind bending amount of slice.

[@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

So, this is useful information for about 0.01% of all players. C'mon TM, wake up.

[@Conada1002]

The thing I admire the most about Scottie is his love of God and his walk of faith.

Awesome lesson! Thank You Scottie and Taylormade! Julie Van Herron sent me 🙌

[@ML-wb5pj]

It’s great having Scottie. He is Jack Nicklaus 2.0 more than Tiger Woods 2.0. With that being said, over a longer career, you could easily see him even surpassing Tiger in majors count..

[@16pennynails]

Kinda caught me off guard when he was "between" clubs from 161 out...a wedge or a 9 iron, I doubt those blades have jacked lofts. Incredible talent!

[@zacknewman6697]

I'd like to think this is all one take, cause that would be the MOST IMPRESSIVE IRON DISPLAY ON KZbin! calling your exact shot 3 times in a row to that proximity..... wow.

[@DASH1ful]

Fabulous. And, very good that you are asking players to do swing clinics. Whilst it may not be something that they would normally do I think they enjoy it; and, enjoy it all the more for be being asked to share their knowledge of the game. They all come over incredibly well; and, their vids are the best swing vids to learn from. Watch swing vids uploaded by modern day coaches and they will lose you with their techno babble. The only enduring swing lesson I had, when starting out, was when i went to a Tony Jacklin swing clinic, the week before he beat Lanny Wadkins to win the German open. Many great golfers knowledge of the game has been lost down the years. But, you are ensuring that doesn't happen anymore. It would be a really great idea if players got together and discussed instructional manuels like the pga manuel or the Hogan book or extracts from the Bobby Jones video. Quite remarkably a lot of the things that Jones said about the game have been overlooked.

[@greasby1golf871]

He's not been arguably the best he's outright the best by some margin. "From 161 Im using 9 iron, to take some off ill fade it". Take some off for 161 😳.

[@charlesmarshall1309]

Preposterously skilful. But to me the most impressive thing is the clarity. Unlike me, he’s never standing over the ball feeling uncertain about what he’s doing.

[@lia4191985]

Does it just like JN with very simple thoughts and knowing his game and conditions. Trusts it. Simple but not easy.

[@MrSmashmouth07]

He hit a 9 iron 161 yds

[@swingeasyguy]

This is what separates Scottie from Rory; Scott doesn't seek perfection and manages every shot perfectly; Rory goes for the kill shot on every swing.

[@OnyxCVO]

Makes me sick on how good he is, such of different swing and foot work just to prove you do not need to play by the book. Just an amazing player.

[@kylestevenson1755]

Golf would be easier if I could be 161-174 out and be thinking PW or 9. Haha

[@JohnJohnson-he1yv]

He talks about hitting the ball like I think about parking my car in the garage… no problem. Problem is when I’m playing golf, it’s like me trying to back a tractor trailer into a stall (and I can’t drive a tractor trailer)!

Committing to the shot once you pick the club, starting point and shape is hugely underrated. He’s got a nine iron so yes, he’s looking to have a birdie look when done.
