Add more shaft lean as loft increases to compress

The speaker explains that with the shaft straight up at 90 degrees the club cannot strike the ball's center of mass and hits it thin; leaning the shaft lines up the club's center of mass with the ball's so it strikes flush. He says the more loft a club has, the more shaft lean it needs - more with a wedge than a seven iron, five iron, or three iron.
