Thanks for all the input that you guys provide. I was not stating clearly what I want to know. I think I am clearer now. I simply want to know why  clubs  are not built with a forward lean so that the golfer can hit down or compress the  ball easier . I know I can forward lean the club myself but I feel a customized individual forward lean will ensure a better control especially after impact. It too only require a more normal grip.

Most clubs are built with a little forward lean, actually. Most clubs - even a 3-iron - has a little bounce.

True, but I am talking about a customized forward lean. One that fits to my swing. One that enables me tto square the face  easier. My hands forward that don't require me to cock my wrist that much.

Any idea which model and brand name makes one with the most forward lean. Notice most putters have a forward lean and they are significant.

Wait , are those EZ clubs fit into my description?

Please take this the right way… that stuff doesn't make sense. Like someone else said, I could play with my wife's clubs and beat you giving you a stroke a hole. There is no such thing as "customized forward lean" and the shaft lean is not going to "enable you to square the face easier."

Just work on improving your swing. When you become a PGA Tour player, then the customization a PGA Tour equipment van can do for you will save you that 1/10th of a stroke per round.

There's really no club that can be built that won't require you to cock your wrists. Cocking your wrists is a good thing :-)

Again I think your priorities are off, your perceived inability to "square the face" is probably not the main problem, it's more likely your path and contact.

    • Day 65 - 2024-12-04 Helped @NatalieB with her stuff on the force plates, then hit some balls working on the left wrist stuff. Picking up the club.
    • Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.  
    • As a supporter of the European team even though I chose to live in the US, this is kind of good news. I'm pretty close to Bethpage, but won't be going at these prices. Neither will the crazy drunk NY sports fans who would have made this a very difficult place to play as a Euro. The tickets will go to the city types who are entertaining clients and don't care about the money. Many of them are going to sit there and watch, not get all raucous. I am not dumb enough to believe that this is going to be like a Sunday afternoon stroll in the park for the Euros, but I think it will be significantly more subdued as a result of the prices. Even at $250 I would probably have been watching on the TV anyway so no real skin in the game.
