📍 Setup: A Model for All Golfers

Scott’s setup is textbook. His shoulders hang directly over his toes, his knees are slightly bent, and everything about his posture looks athletic and balanced. It’s a position of strength and simplicity. If you’re looking for one thing to copy from his swing, it’s this.

🔄 Takeaway: Everything Moves Together

As Scott takes the club back, everything rotates as one unit. The club gets parallel to the ground and stays in front of his hands, and his arms stay in front of his chest. This is the foundation of a consistent and powerful swing.

🔝 Top of the Swing: Compact and Powerful

Even now in his 40s, Scott’s backswing remains efficient. It may not go quite to parallel, but he stays in posture and maintains a strong coil with minimal sway. You don’t have to go to parallel to hit a powerful shot!

💥 Impact & Finish: Classic Ball-Striking

Coming into the golf ball, his hips are cleared, his shoulders are slightly less open but still rotating. The club is in a perfect position just inside the hands—a great place for consistent impact. And after contact? His head tracks the ball the entire way down the fairway. Picture-perfect.

✅ What You Can Copy

• Setup: Shoulders over toes, knees bent, balanced posture.

• Takeaway: Rotate everything together; arms stay in front of chest.

• Impact: Hips open, club coming from inside, head stays down.

• Finish: Full follow-through with balance and intention.

Copy the basics, Adam Scott’s swing is timeless for a reason.
