Setting Up With Shaft Lean on Driver Is a Big Mistake! Shaft lean with a driver looks good on paper... but it's not it. The best drivers in history set up with the butt of the club at the belt... what AMG calls midbody hands. With a wider stance and the ball forward, there can even be a little backward lean to the shaft at address. Setting up with forward shaft lean on a driver creates all kinds of compensations early in the backswing... and you're not even helping yourself. You'll get to shaft lean at impact, but you don't want to start there. It's not set it and forget it.
