Forward Lean Hold

Swing to the impact position and hold it, checking that the shaft still leans toward the target instead of the club flipping past your hands.

Duration: 5 min
Reps: 3 sets of 10
Equipment: club
Level: Beginner

How to do it

Take your address position with a mid-iron.
Swing slowly to the impact position and freeze there.
Check that your hands are ahead of the clubhead and the shaft leans toward the target.
Hold for 2 seconds, reset, and repeat for 10 reps.

Goal

Groove the feeling of forward shaft lean instead of adding loft with a scoop.

Feel cue

Feel your hands ahead of the clubhead as you hold the impact position.

Mistake to avoid

Don't stop your body to hold the position — freeze the arms and hands only.
