The positioning of the club shaft at impact is one of the keys to compressing the golf ball with your iron shots. Amateur golfers can struggle to get their lead-arm forward, which is essential to delofting the club and creating that lean effect with the shaft angle.

Here you’ll learn the key move that allows you to get your lead arm forward and the shaft angled toward the target on contact. The lead arm can’t travel too far across the chest area during the backswing, and the hips and shoulders must rotate in harmony during the downswing to allow for proper shaft placement at impact.
