Shaft lean is one of the hardest things to judge at address.
What feels like forward shaft lean one day may not look the same the next.
Why Shaft Lean Is Hard to See
Small changes in setup can affect shaft position:
- Hand position
- Ball position
- Posture
From the player’s view, these differences are subtle and easy to miss.
Many golfers think they are repeating the same setup — but the shaft position has changed.
The Problem with Relying on Feel
Feel can change from swing to swing.
- Grip pressure can affect how the club sits
- Posture can shift slightly
- The club can appear different depending on your view
Without a clear reference, shaft lean becomes guesswork.
Use Visual Confirmation at Setup
When you can see your shaft position clearly:
- You can check if you have forward shaft lean
- You can confirm your setup before the swing
- You can repeat the same position more consistently
Clarity Before Motion
Setup happens before the swing.
When shaft lean is visible, alignment becomes easier to control.
