As Dr. Rob Neal explained during the exclusive short game experience that he and fellow WedgeCraft co-founder, Layne Savoie, presented for Team Titleist members, the best wedge players all have...forward shaft-lean at impact. That goes for finesse shots as well as distance wedges. Why? Because leaning the shaft forward compresses the ball against the face of the wedge more, creating more friction and imparting more spin on the golf ball. And in the short game, spin is king.
