Description
Flipping the club vs. striking the ball with forward shaft lean can dramatically affect loft at impact. In this video, find out how your club's effective loft at impact affects compression. Also, learn why, and by how much, PGA Tour pros lean their club shafts at impact for penetrating shots!
Video Practice Points
- Less loft at impact decreases spin loft and increases compression
- Around 2-3 degrees forward shaft lean with driver is ideal
- 10 degrees for shaft lean is ideal with short irons
