Flipping the club versus striking the ball with forward shaft lean can dramatically change your effective loft at impact — and with it, your ability to compress the ball.
In this video, find out how your club’s effective loft at impact affects compression. If you want to see exactly how much shaft lean you’re achieving, an AI swing analyzer can reveal your true impact position in precise detail.
You’ll also learn why — and by exactly how much — elite players lean their club shafts at impact to produce penetrating, compressed iron shots with a lower, more boring trajectory. That forward shaft lean delofts the club, increases ball speed, and is the hallmark of every quality ball striker on tour.
