The £10 item Scottie Scheffler keeps in his bag – which has helped the American golfer win two Green Jackets, 12 PGA Tour events and over £54m in prize money

Scottie Scheffler has had a stellar season on the PGA Tour so far, winning his second Green Jacket at the Masters and also winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship.

And the 28-year-old world number one shows no signs of slowing down in his quest to become one of the greatest golfers of all time.

Scheffler is a player who is committed to improving his skills and it appears he is following some interesting training regimens to continue improving his consistency in hitting the ball.

While many have raised eyebrows at the American’s unorthodox footwork during his downswing and follow-through, Scheffler has many coaches scratching their heads with his brilliant ball skills, which have seen him finish number one on the PGA Tour in strokes gained for the past two years.

But Scheffler still appears to be working on other aspects of his swing in an effort to improve consistency.

However, Scheffler spends time mastering the basics of his swing, focusing specifically on his grip

As many golfers know, a good grip on the club is paramount to ensuring a player hits the golf ball optimally. Your grip is the anchor between your body and the golf club and can often determine the angle at which your clubface strikes the ball. If your grip is closed, you are likely to hook the ball. If your grip is too open, you will hit a slice.

For golfers like Scheffler, something as small as your grip being out of place when trying to hit an approach shot 10 feet from the hole can be disastrous.

That’s why Scheffler, who has worked with coach Randy Smith throughout his career, is often seen warming up at PGA Tour events with a molded grip.

This is a tool that can be placed around the grip of a standard golf club and helps with proper placement of the hand and thumb on the club.

The training grip, which Scheffler used this week at the Open Championship, has spread edges and grooves that follow the natural shape of a golfer’s hand but position your fingers and palms in the proper position around the grip.

At last year’s Masters, Scheffler appeared to be using a grip permanently attached to a training club. The No. 1 hit a few balls with the special training aid before moving on to the rest of the clubs in his golf bag.

Golfers can learn a lot from Scheffler just by watching him on the course. The American pays so much attention to the fundamental aspects of his golf swing, particularly his grip, that he will often be seen on the course looking at his hand placement on the club before he takes a shot.

“When my shot goes wrong, I feel like it usually has to do with the fundamentals of what I’m doing,” Scheffler said at this year’s Masters.

“And so I have my grip club, because I control my grip.”

Many have tried to figure out why Scheffler’s feet move so much when he hits the golf ball. Some attribute his footwork to the speed at which he hits the golf ball.

“I don’t know exactly what it does to my clubhead speed. I’ve tried hitting a few shots with my irons with what you would call traditional footwork, and I just felt a little bit locked in, a little bit too robotic,” he said earlier this week at Troon, when asked why he moves his feet so much.

“I’ve always been a guy who liked to hit a lot of different shots — change the height, change the curve. That’s how I usually play. As far as my footwork, I just felt too locked in and unnatural if I wasn’t doing what my feet normally do.

“It might look funny to all of you, but to me it feels completely normal. I never thought twice about it. I didn’t really think about it until I went on tour and it actually became something that I was asked about.”
