But when you start working on forward shaft lean, don't be discouraged if you begin hitting blocked golf shots to the trail side. That's actually a sign you're making progress.

You're close to your goal. You just need the 2 missing pieces that turn those weak blocks into pure, compressed strikes. Get a free AI swing analysis to see exactly where your shaft lean stands right now.
