Shaft Lean Secrets | Right Wrist Flying Wedge Drill

Shaft lean at impact is one of the few things demonstrated by ALL great golfers. The ability to deliver the club at impact with forward shaft lean is one of the most beneficial things you can learn to do. Forward shaft lean helps to improve contact (as it moves the low-point of the swing further forward), it helps you to hit the ball further by reducing the dynamic loft delivered to the ball, and it helps to improve directional control by producing a more stable face to path relationship.
However, most amateur golfers are failing to deliver these desired impact alignments, instead “flipping” or “scooping” at the ball which leads to poor contact, low distance and random shot patterns.
Forward shaft lean at impact is described in The Golfing Machine book as the Right Forearm Flying Wedge (RFFW) which is is angle formed by the shaft and the right forearm. This alignment also typically sees a flat left (lead) wrist. Learn to do these wrist conditions, and you will learn to strike the ball more consistently, powerfully and accurately than ever before.
In this video, I will share one of the most effective drills that you can do to train this part of the swing. I will also use the Precision Impact training aid which is a device designed specifically to help train better wrist angles and shaft lean at impact.

Good advice that I work on myself. But I had to laugh when I heard that creaking sound. At my age, 81, if you swing and hear a noise like that, you immediately wonder if it might be something gone wrong with your spine, hips, knees, neck or shoulders. 😁

Hi, Rob: keeping connection b/w the left upper arm and arm pit should be?

[@enniobellato1]

Ho Rob the training Aid is 4 800 ZAR in South Africa Thats more than i paid for my New Cobra Driver thats carzy

[@Toaster-v1z]

I've found that if I shorten my follow through my contact is much better. Then when I try to hit harder my follow through gets longer and I start closing the club face and pulling shots bad.

I’m surprised Rob didn’t discuss the valve of using the divot board for his drills. It gives the brain a sense of what it has to do with the wrists to accomplish A ball first divot.

[@gregdoniger1137]

This training aid is a game changer!!! Clubface control and turning aggressively through the ball is a feeling that I wasn’t familiar with. Best golfing aid ever invented in my opinion. Thanks Rob!

[@tonebassin2571]

Excellent video Rob. Thank you

[@davecohn6407]

I have read that the precision impact training device is not adjustable for those with shorter than average forearms . What is your opinion ?

[@trippberry3373]

I have watched many on line instructors and had probably more in person lessons with more teachers than 99% of those reading. Rob is at the top. Earlier this year after watching his previous lesson using the precision impact I worked with it for a few sessions on the practice range and went out at shot my age for the first time (actually one under) with three three putts, had never played the course and didn’t know the greens. I’m 71. Just sayin’

Rob, great instructional videos, thank you! I understand the reason for extending the right wrist. To better understand the concept: what is the meaning of "Flying Wedge" in this context, could you explain this please? Is it because of the drill that can be practised one-handed with a wedge?

[@jeffreyremillard9151]

Just wanted to say I bought the training aid and it is INDEED a game changer! For the first time I felt what it was like to hit the ball without ending up with the dreaded chicken wing! After about two weeks of practice I played golf and my iron striking was amazing! Still having issues with the driver, but I am hoping more practice will help tame that most difficult of clubs.

I'm a serious in depth student of the golf swing. I study several different golf instructions by several instructors on Utube. One of the best, for me, is the presentations by Bertie Cordal's DST compressor (which I practice with) series, which is used by over 240 world PGA professionals and they're not being paid to use it. What I find very interesting, is when I inquire if they are promoting or using the DST compressor, they usually indicate that they're not, I wonder why that is not true. And what about Sportsbox?

[@jeremiahmclane2374]

Rob, can you do a video on direction control, I'm struggling with pushes and low hooks

[@williamknapp9497]

thanks for the info!! funny you were working with this training aid, I had mine on at the driving range this morning, I love the shots right after you take it off, it's what being in the grove feels like. thanks for all the great video's !!

[@hongtao2932]

Weight forward plus bend wrist at first is the best combination. I gave up the so called one piece takeaway instead of bending wrist first and feel more solid contact. Many thanks.

[@joesunova8874]

1. Since using “weight forward at setup” my consistency has markedly improved. Many thanks! 2. Just started working on bent right wrist at impact. Have always had considerable shaft lean with slightly bent wrist at setup. Okay with that? 3. A downswing thought I always had was: Let the left (lead) hand pass the ball before the clubface passes. I just changed thought to let my “right“ hand pass the ball first and that has helped a lot as wrist must be bent to do that. Thoughts? 4. Sorry for lengthy comment.

I walked into a golftec here in town and poked around. The manager started to ask me some questions, and I asked a few, and he asked how I knew so much about the golf stroke. I told him I was a pga professional looking for a place to teach. He said they were looking for a pro. I looked over the setup which was really nice. Then I mentioned that I was preparing for my authorization in the golfing machine, and he said, point blank, that the golfing machine wasn't welcome in the lessons there, yet here you are talking the TGM talk in virtually every one of your videos, and I see Clearwater also talking about it in some of his. Strange...lol

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent video on the "Flying Wedge Drill" Rob! I've been working with a flat left wrist and bent back right wrist cock for a while now in order to increase my shaft lean at impact. The problem I'm having is timing the release of the right wrist bend at the proper time. It definitely is a Work In Progress! Good Job Rob! I'm always learning something from my views on your channel. Keep up the good work!!!

[@starks1974]

Great information again Rob!!! It’s always those little things we forget about that make such a big difference.

[@JujuFranky]

I fully agree. This helps me so much to get consistent impact off the grass.

[@MrA8figureman]

This is what drives me crazy about KZbin golf instruction. This exact method can be great or it can kill your swing if you don't know what you are doing. You can find 10 professional instructors that tell you that this is a terrible drill because it teaches you to drag the handle through impact. Most instructors will tell you that if your "flippy" at impact it is more about the stalling of the body than it is about the wrist and that most armatures don't have enough rotation, but you can't have too much, and you stall and then you flip the club. Your speed comes from the wrist so if you hold the wrist through impact where is your speed. But know don't get me wrong this instructor is telling you that it is a feel. Padraig Harrington has a great video about how to create speed in the golf swing that will totally go against every thing that is in this video. So it depends on what your swing fault it as far as what you need to be practicing. Instruction can be great and I personally like this channel but what I've come to understand is that if you are serious about improving your golf swing find someone you can get if front of and can watch your swing that can teach you your swing issue because when it comes to golf there is no one band aid that fits all. It reminds me of that ole saying with great power comes great responsibility. This has the possibility of hurting you as much as it does to helping you. Wishing you all the greatest of luck in building your golf swing.
