More lateral shift means more shaft length

Craig Hanson offers amateur players a simple rule: the more lateral shift you have, the more shaft length you will get. He says wide swingers, players without huge angles coming down, are seen shifting further left and getting around three quarters of their lead leg through the wall, which helps them get the shaft length.
