In the lesson, fixing steep shaft early release

George Gankas demonstrates how to eliminate an early release and steep shaft in the golf swing. By mastering proper wrist extension, lead wrist flexion, and forearm rotation through body pivot, golfers can maintain shaft lean and deliver consistent strike quality at impact.

• Early release and flipping stem from losing trail wrist extension prematurely during downswing.
• True lag and shaft lean are created through trail wrist extension combined with forearm rotation as the body turns.
• Lowering the lead hand ('left hand in the shoe') while maintaining wrist structure prevents scooping at impact.
