Each club has a built-in degree of Shaft Lean. The Steeper the Lie Angle, the more lean is needed to insure that Ball Separation occurs before the ground is struck. Angle of Attack and the Uncocking Left Wrist.

Procedure: Swingers using one Ball Location, Ala Ben-Hogan (as the club gets shorter, the stance narrows, but ball location is the same distance from Low-Point).

If you lean the shaft and the leading edge of the club remains straight, then you’ve flattened your swing plane and rotated your grip. A properly leaned club will Lean On-Plane and the Leading Edge of the Clubface will open ever so slightly more with each degree of lean. The Clubshaft leans Forward and Rises and the Words on the Grip Face Up and do not Turn as the Clubshaft is leaned. Therefore, the leading edge on a Wedge “Looks” (and is) much more open than the leading edge of a Driver. Wedges swivel more rapidly and over a shorter distance than Drivers.

If you were to grip every club the same way so that the Leading Edge of the Clubface (or name on the grip) and Hands had the same relationship for every Club, then at Impact, the Clubshaft would need to lean more with a Wedge than a Driver for a Straight Ball Flight.

In other words, it may be more beneficial in the end to fix your swing so that your hands are farther ahead at Impact with a Wedge than with a Driver than to compensate by rotating the Clubshaft. The Shoulders are Slightly more open at Impact with a Wedge than with a Driver. So, at Impact Fix, your shoulders are more open with a Wedge than with a Driver. It all goes back to that right forearm on-plane.

Of course, you can compensate for a bad Pivot by moving the Ball back in your stance.
Or, you can train the Pivot. Unfortunately, you'll need to learn the "Magic of the Right Forearm" to train the Pivot.

1-E PATTERN DEVELOPMENT ... The student must approach instruction as a step-by-step process. The only real short cuts are more and more know-how. A careless beginning can be disastrous. Every board and panel must be cut to fit its place and cut to fit in the overall design. It’s as premature to expect the complete results of instruction before the last factor is fitted in, understood and mastered.
