Set 60% weight on the lead foot to shift laterally

For players who are wide and losing their angles, Craig Hanson points to the address position: setting up with about 60% of your weight on the lead foot makes it easier to move laterally through 'the wall' four to six inches. He notes 10 to 15 centimeters of lateral shift is the PGA Tour average.
