2. Generally with full power shots we want a shaft that is leaning and not vertical to the ground particularly with irons. But (and this is to your question) you want to program the RIGHT AMOUNT of shaft lean at Fix. You probably don't want as much shaft lean with a 5-iron as a wedge unless you are trying to punch it under a tree or wind or something. We want the longer clubs to get in the air. So this is where your right wrist bend comes in. You want your face aimed with the amount of lean you want at Fix.

Great Post Bucket. I'm required (by my wife) to take time-off to be tortured on the beach so I won't be on-line this weekend. It has something to do with "divided attention" or something. I don't know for sure because I didn't catch everything she said.

But anyway, back to my question. If I want my driver to get the ball "more in the air", would leaning the shaft away from the target at "FIX" help?

I thought that the Amount of Hook-Face is related to shaft lean. I thought that shaft lean is designed along with the length and loft of the club to prevent the leading edge from hitting the ground before ball-separation. So, it's ok to lean the shaft more than the club was designed for, but not less.

I'm just clarifying, and would like to get your point of view on the matter.
