Dbain123, good point! Good slo-mo Down The Line video, thx for sharing that. I agree, it does look like Scheffler’s right elbow is not as fixed as Hogan’s.
From the Scottie Scheffler thread: Scottie Scheffler Golf Swing , the first post, it appears that different Scheffler swings may look different post-impact:
And I agree that in super slo-mo Scheffler iron swings such as this one, at :46 of this YouTube, it does appear Scottie’s right elbow is straightening (but not yet completely straight?):
This is interesting.
So, learning from our ABS principles and applying the thinking process of “vapor trails” that John Erickson has taught us, the question before us we might consider (and ask Lagpressure and TwoMasters what they think?) is:
=> Does Scottie’s other-worldly-good-post-impact-pivot-thrust, make up for or mitigate that he isn’t holding his right elbow as closely as Hogan did?
That said, I do think we can all learn (and try apply in our own ABS swings), that these videos show that Scottie’s post-impact-pivot-thrust is other-worldly-good. Watch that left shoulder from :41 to 1:01 in the slo-mo face on. The club is trailing his body almost the whole way.
That’s inspirational!
I wonder what others of you ABSer’s think?
