| Re: Golf Tip Query Just so you can see a visual representation of the "lead" (pronounced leed) of the club. Place the bottom of an iron on a flat surface. Now the lie, loft and lead are to the correct orientation. The loft is the angle of the clubface as it point toward the ball. The lie is the angle the club shaft is angled toward the body. The reason you must tilt forward about 30* is to make a total 90* between the lie and the body tilt. The lead is the angle of the clubshaft from the hosel to the top of the shaft as it is angled forward toward the left hand.
Start you Pw/9i in the middle of the stance, the top of the shaft should be on the inside of the left thigh. Use this as a constant through the 3 wood, the driver has virtually no lead and should be played directly down the left arm. The stance narrows slightly from the 8i down and increases slight with the 5i up.
The other thing that must be down is to rotate the left arm from the shoulder socket to match the lead of the club. These measurements will help you hit every club correctly.
Hope this helps you,
