スコッティ・シェフラー VS ロリー・マキロイ | ライダーカップ・スイング対決

Hi everyone and welcome back to the channel. In today’s video, I thought it’d be really fun to do a Rider Cup head-to-head, no other than Scottish Sheffller and Rory Maroy. So, what I’m going to do in this video is we’re going to break down the two golf swings and we’re going to look at how they’re similar and different. They both like to play different shapes. Scotty, who prefers to play a little bit more of a fade, Rory, who has historically been a draw of the golf ball. So, let’s get into it. So let’s start with their address positions. Both very very athletic. One noticeable for me address would be the armhang. How that really influences the golf swing in my opinion. So here we can see that Rory, if I take him from shoulder to mid hand and exactly the same for Scotty, we’ll be able to see that the arm hang is fractionally different. We can see that Rory’s arms are hanging fractionally more out in front of him and Scotty’s more underneath him. Now, the first thing I’d just like to say is we’re a little unsure of what clubs they’re hitting. I think Rory’s hitting a seven iron or a six iron and I think Scotty’s hitting an eight iron. So, slightly different there for sure, but nevertheless, they are still their setups and I think you’ll agree with me that we see that more across the bag. Now, what we typically see from a player that had an arm hang that’s more underneath them or slightly inward is they’re likely to move more vertical. People that have their arms pitched more out in front of them again are more susceptible to swinging on a much shallower plane. Okay. And also from here we can see how that potentially changes the shaft at a dress as well. We tend to see players that have their hands more underneath them, the shaft will be a bit more upright. And players that have their arms pitched away from them, their shaft is typically a little bit more laid down like so, or a little bit more shallow. So, for me, I think that really stands out for these two players and actually matches kind of what they do. You’ll also notice that Scotty has a little bit more rounding in his upper spine and shoulder area, whereas Rory’s sitting a little bit more flat out in front of him. Now, from here, if we move into their back swings going into the takeaway, I think you’ll see they both move really, really nicely. Now, I’m going to take them back to shaft parallel. And again, drawers and faders of the golf ball will typically look like this. So, a draw of the ball typically have the club head moving in line with the hands to fractionally inside. And a fader of the ball typically moving the club head outside. Now, not all the time for sure, but something that you’d see in more traditional swings where the club head is moving slightly outside the hands just to make sure we can navigate the path and the club head throughout the swing. Now, I think another noticeable here is that they both have started to change knee flex. Both of their knees have started to change. So, just taking them back down again. You’ll see that the hips are turning. The right leg is starting to straighten. Not straight, but starting to extend. and the lead knee is starting to flex. And you’ll see that amongst Scotty as well as the knees start to change direction based on how the hips are starting to engage, move, as is the chest. Now, both of these players have a relatively wide takeaway. So, what I mean by that as well is both arms of Rory are pretty much straight, pretty much extended out in front of him and Scotty a little bit of flex in that right arm, but pretty much extended as well. And as we move them both back to P3, which is lead arm parallel to the ground, this is where things start to get a little interesting for me. Because when we look at here, I hope you agree with me, they’re relatively similar. The shaft is cutting through the shoulder line. The hips and knees have started to turn and change flex. Both players have their shoulders still on an inclination. Scotty, a little steeper, granted, but I think again that comes down to his setup position. And then the shaft pitches are again relatively similar. Rory fractionally shallower here. If we just draw a line down his shaft to the golf ball, whereas Scotty again fractionally inside the golf ball to both at the golf ball from their different postures. Now I think that’s quite interesting considering they both swing it different. And it’s actually the next stages where things start to really get different. So, as Rory moves to the top, if I just draw a little line or I’m just going to put a dot on both of their gloves. Okay. As they both move to the top or we get Rory to get there first, you’ll notice that he starts to pull his arms more behind, get a bit of retraction out of that shoulder where the shoulder joint starts to move back. It sometimes stays a little bit more internal, which gets the club more across the line. I mentioned this in a video a little while ago, but let me just pop that dot back there. But fundamentally his hands are moving a little flatter and more behind him. Again, typical of drawers of the golf ball where the hands will get a little bit more over the heel line. Now, as we take Scotty to the top, this is where things start to look different for the pair. We can actually see Scotty has a lot more extension in his spine. We can start to see he has a lot more arm lift and his hands are not as far behind him as Rory. And again, a typical trait of draws and fades of the golf ball. So I think if you’re a player that’s looking to draw the golf ball, it is much more helpful to have the hands probably more this side of the of the hip line, whereas Scotty that’s trying to hit a cut here has his hands more this side. And again, very helpful for if you’re trying to hit draws and fades. And from here, if we just start to track the hand path, so I’m going to draw a line from that dot that I drew on Rory’s hands to here. And exactly the same for Scotty. We can see that Scotty moves a lot more vertical whereas Rory starts to move a lot more behind him. Again, likely due to the retraction, that left arm pulling more across him. Scotty adding a lot more extension and arm lift into his back swing. Now, again, this is where the humongous changes are or differences are between these two players. As Scotty works down, you’re going to see his arms pitch out in front of him. So certainly from an elbow position, if I draw a line from his elbow to the ball, you’re going to start to see that elbow trace back out in front of him, the handle of the golf club work back out in front of him. And if we just take him down to left arm parallel, he is here halfway down. So I’m just going to eliminate some of these lines in a moment. And we can start to see that his hands are pitched even more out in front of him than he started. So here we can see his arm is borderline outwards. Okay? And I would call this the zero line. So if the left arm is pointing down the target line, I would call it zero. And then we can measure inwards or outwards. Okay. And when we look at Rory as he comes down, you’re going to notice that his hands stay deeper than where they were. So again, just circling his hands here. Now again, what we can see is the amount of chest rotation into the down. We can really see that from the top. Scotty has moved his arms in front of him, started to rotate his chest, whereas Rory has kept his chest a lot more closed and started to shift towards a target. Both of these players quite high in slide, might I add. But Scotty moving his hand path more out in front of him is definitely more fade bias. Now, Scotty can definitely get away with this because of the level of slide. I think if you’re a huge rotator of the body, this might be not the right option for you. But as these players continue down again, really going to start to see where that shaft begins to fall from. Rory’s falling much more shallow and behind him, and Scotty’s falling a lot steeper. If we start to draw lines through the shaft here, we can definitely start to see how they’re different. And another noticeable is the club face on both of these. Considering Rory is playing a big draw here, we can really start to see that the club face isn’t really that hooded. Okay. And the same for Scotty. His club face is pretty much up to the sky here on the way down. And as they both start to move down into shaft parallel, Scotty’s is just skipping that frame. But again, I think pretty obvious to see where the club heads would have been traveling from. So Scotty’s, if we could make a prediction, is probably going to be somewhere here with it jumping around. And Rory’s again way behind him. I’ll bring Rory down maybe one more frame. He does a great job of turning the corner now, but we’ll leave him here for a second. And we again will start to see that there are some differences in the shoulder alignments. That is for sure. And for me, where the right hand sits, okay, Rory’s is sitting more backwards like so. Whereas Scott is a little bit backwards, but a little bit more on top of the shaft. Now granted, they’re different points in time, so maybe not a fair one there, but we can definitely agree that Rory’s shoulders are a lot more shut and his shaft is coming from more behind him. And as we approach the golf ball now, Rory doing a fantastic job of changing them shoulders from shut to pretty open very, very quickly. And again, when we look at Scotty as well, we’ll actually notice now very similar from an open rate for sure. And again, the distance they both are from the ball, which I believe goes back to their setup positions. Something else I find quite interesting here is look at their eye alignments. Look at where the hat sits. Look at where both of these players eyes are pointing. They’re not turning the corner. Even for Scotty that’s trying to hit a cut, they’re not rotating the neckline down. They are hitting that shot and then they’re going to move out of it, which you’ll notice right now. That’s really good for applying some brakes, letting the club accelerate. Very good feature there. And again, probably going to start to see some big differences here. Rory’s arms starting to work away from the body and release the club as you’d expect a draw of the golf ball to do. So again, drawing lines, if I can get them both at point of contact. If I draw lines up the shaft here and one up the shaft here, this is how we’re going to start to differentiate and see some differences in these two players again. So, as Rory starts to work, you’re going to see the club head work to the right of that line. Start releasing hands also working to the right of that line. Scotty working everything left and underneath that line. A typical fade bias movement. The hands exiting low around the shaft exiting quite low out the other side as well. And if I move myself out the way, we’ll start to see the club face differences as well. Drawers of the golf ball typically getting the club face to angle a little bit more this way. Faders a little bit more this way. Or we could look at the toe of the golf club or the blade sitting more here versus here. So I think that’s another really interesting piece to drawers and faders of the golf ball. And as we continue through, they both have pretty good finishes. Scotty actually being relatively balanced there, I believe, as he’s on the range. A little bit of footwork stuff, but relatively balanced. So, there are lots of differences there between draws and faders of the golf ball. from the amount of depth that they create at the top of their swing, from how quickly they start to open the rib cages to how much inwards the lead arm is in the down swing all the way coming down into what we would call this P5 here, coming down into P6 or just before P6 where the shaft is coming even more behind or in front of them. Finishing that off with the exit where the club and hands travel in relation to the finish. And lastly, the club face rotation, typical of each golfer, too. So, whatever shot you’re trying to pick, I think there are a lot of pieces that you can add to help you draw or fade the golf ball. So, that was the purpose of this video. So, thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, please give it a thumbs up. And if you could subscribe, it would really mean a lot to me. Thanks. And I’ll see you all

In this video I break down the similarities and differences in Rory Mcilroy and Scottie Scheffler’s golf swings. One a draw bias player and the other a fade bias player. Are there any more differences that you can see?

I will be doing these fun showdown’s all week so be sure to comment who you would like to see tomorrow!
