In this video, you’ll learn a great golf tip for forward shaft lean.
Why is that important?
You need to get more forward shaft lean in order to hit the ball solidly like the pros.
PGA Tour players are delofting their clubs.
For a pitching wedge with about 45 degrees of loft, at impact they’re taking off around 15% of the loft.
This delofting of the club allows for more solid ball striking.
However, many amateur golfers are flipping the club and not hitting with any shaft lean.
You can make contact with the ball, but you’re not going to get much compression on the ball.
Here’s my tip that’ll help you get more shaft lean at impact…
First, make sure your hips and shoulders are open at impact.
Your hips should be open by around 45 degrees…
And your shoulders by around 20 to 30 degrees.
Being open at impact makes it easier to hit with forward shaft lean.
If your hips and shoulders are closed, it’s really difficult to get any forward shaft lean.
Practice this feeling by pausing your swing near impact and checking your hips and shoulders.
Also, make sure your left wrist is protracted out for forward shaft lean.
Do about 30 reps to ingrain this feeling.
Now you’ll be in a good position to compress your shots.
Next, practice full swings.
