This is a great topic to cover. I find that most players play the ball too far forward in their stance because the path of their swing is outside in. Once that happens they are doomed to scoop the rest of their life to understand how to hit a golf ball correctly you have to understand club shaft plane and I understand that if the shaft is on the correct plane it will create the lag necessary to have forward Shaft Lean. Forward shaft lean creates the downward angle of attack not a steep downswing.

What’s the best way to get a golfer to hit down on the ball instead of trying to ‘scoop’ it?
