Golf instructor Rob Cheney breaks down the geometry of the swing to help golfers stop hitting fat shots. By treating the lead shoulder as the center of the swing radius and positioning the ball slightly behind it with forward shaft lean, golfers naturally pre-set a downward angle of attack for compressed ball contact.

• Understand that your lead shoulder acts as the center of the swing, while the lead arm and shaft form the swing radius.
• Position mid-irons roughly 2-3 ball widths behind your lead shoulder rather than directly under it.
• Angle your lead arm and club shaft forward toward the lead shoulder at address to pre-set forward shaft lean.
• Maintain this forward angle through impact to ensure a solid, downward strike into the ball.
