Shaft Lean @ Address

 

What is Shaft Lean @ Address?

Shaft lean is a measure of how far the hands are pressed forward or backward at address.  A forward shaft lean, or "forward press", indicates that the hands were ahead of the ball. A backward shaft lean indicates the hands were behind the ball.  Shaft lean is defined as the angle from the club shaft to the vertical. 

 

What should Shaft Lean @ Address be?

The proper shaft lean at address varies with club, player, and shot type.  It is common for short irons and wedges to have a small forward shaft lean. Mid irons tend to be around 0°, while long irons and woods often have a small backward shaft lean. When you find a Shaft Lean @ Address that works for you, groove that value.
