Too much shaft lean?

[tennisdu]

So I have been videotaping my swing recently and it looks like I may be over leaning the shaft (at impact) with all my clubs. I have a couple frames of myself with my driver/3-wood where I look like Brian's old logo (I think of Lee Trevino). Brian has talked about the d-plane and how you can over lean the shaft, but at what point is it too much?

If I remember correctly Brian talked about the optimal degrees of downward strike after his time on a 3-D machine. I would assume that if you can consistently over lean the shaft the same amount every time you could make it work?

Thanks in advance.

Are you losing shots right?

I can tend to get stuck and my misses are blocks and hooks.

hitting down too much would move the path of the club more inside ot, and would be consistent with blocks/hooks. but remember, forward lean and angle of descent are not the same thing. so stills of impact with the shaft leant forward alot may not be too steep an angle of descent

Thanks pecky. I tend to make deep divots, would that indicate to too steep an angle of descent?
