Apologies To Scottie Scheffler (The WAX Golf Curse Strikes Again)

I hate when this happens – for years, whenever I have singled out individual swingers in a post on unsound mechanics, they uncannily come down with an injury within weeks.

The reason I rail against unsound golf swings and mechanically-incorrect moves is because I’m trying to get people to avoid hurting themselves simply swinging a golf club.

I wasn’t watching yesterday’s Tour event, but a WAX Nation citizen (thanks, Chief!) alerted me to something that happened to Scottie Scheffler during his round.

I have been thinking about how to illustrate that the heel spin is from improper mechanics and not some physical impediment as many people with flaws in their swings claim to have, and this could be the one.

Proper Down Swing Mechanics – No Heel Spin

I can show everyone here some swings viewed “up the line,” which illustrate how a proper, mechanically-sound golf swing does not have a heel spin with the leading foot, and it doesn’t matter how hard or fast you are swinging.

Part of the issue is that which also causes the “Flying Foot” in certain golfers – by anchoring the trailing foot to the ground at all costs, adjustments and compensations must be made.

First The Flying Foot – Now The Heel Spin!

I have said that of all the sports you can think of, that golf is the only one that has regressed in modern times.

All other disciplines are using science, bio analysis and everything else you can dream up, to improve performance, reduce injury risk and perfect technique.

Golf? 

Not even close, my friends, and let me show you what I’ve begun to see more of from Modern Golf.
