A common fault I see in golfers of all levels is arriving at impact with the wrong vertical shaft angle — commonly referred to as the club lie angle at impact.
When your lie angle is off, the club strikes the ground toe-first or heel-first instead of flat, robbing you of solid contact and consistent ball compression.
In this video, you’ll see how vertical shaft lean (your club’s lie angle at impact) affects compression and learn exactly how to get this critical impact condition right. You can also use an AI swing analyzer to check your shaft angle and impact position frame by frame.
