Scottie Scheffler’s “Cheat Code” Explained | Fizzo Golf Gets It Wrong

What is **Scottie Scheffler’s “cheat code” move**, and is he really “holding his wrists open” in the backswing? In this video, I debunk Fizzo Golf’s explanation, show what Scottie is **actually doing**, and explain how to perform the move correctly without wrecking your swing. If you want to understand **Scottie Scheffler’s backswing, wrist action, grip, and release**, this lesson breaks down what the move really is, why it works, and what has to be in place before you try it. The move itself is real. The problem is the explanation. Calling Scottie’s wrists *“open”* does not accurately describe what is happening. And that matters, because if an instructor or influencer does not understand the movement well enough to describe it correctly, the golfer watching is left trying to reproduce the wrong thing. That is one of the biggest problems with golf instruction online. A move can look unusual, get labeled a “cheat code,” and spread everywhere before anyone stops to explain: what is actually happening why it works how it differs from what most tour players do who should try it what fundamentals have to be in place first In this lesson, I explain the actual movement Scottie is making, how it differs from the more common backswing pattern, how to perform it properly, and why it can help. I also explain why this move does *not* exist in isolation. To do it properly, you need: the correct *golf grip* the proper *wrist action* an understanding of the *release* a swing structure that allows the club to move correctly through impact Without those pieces, copying the appearance of Scottie’s move can create more problems than it solves. That is why good golf instruction has to go beyond telling you what something looks like. It has to explain **what is happening, why it is happening, and what has to happen next**. There are also full lessons on this channel covering both the *grip* and the **release**, because those fundamentals are essential to understanding and using this move correctly. *In this video, we cover:* what Scottie Scheffler’s “cheat code” move actually is why *“holding the wrists open”* is an inaccurate description how Scottie’s move differs from what most tour professionals do how to perform the move correctly why the move can be effective why your *grip* matters why the *release* matters how bad explanations of good players’ movements can hurt average golfers why copying a look is not the same as understanding a golf swing Good instruction should not just tell you what an elite player does. It should tell you **why it works—and whether it belongs in your swing**. *Helpful Links:* 👉 Subscribe to Swing Science:    / @egofree-golf-swing-science   👉 14 Day Golf Fundamentals: https://14daygolffundamentals.com/14d...
