PGA instructor Giles Gill breaks down five powerful swing hacks to stop casting and create effortless shaft lean. Through drills like the Bank Drill, towel connection exercise, trail-finger pressure softening, and lead forearm supination, golfers learn how to compress iron shots naturally without forcing lag.
Adjust your setup by keeping your lead arm higher than your trail arm to maintain proper forearm and shoulder alignment.
Perform the Bank Drill by lifting the outer edge of your trail foot to train early weight transfer to your lead side.
Place a thin towel behind your back under both armpits to prevent your trail elbow from getting stuck behind your hips.
Reduce grip pressure on your trail thumb and index finger to 1/10 intensity to allow the club to naturally fall into lag.
Rotate (supinate) your lead forearm on the downswing so the glove logo turns toward the ground to lean the shaft and square the clubface.
