Hi Tyler - love the content. Your explanations and insights are 10/10.
If you could let me know what I can work on to get my hands further forward at impact, that would be great. I can tell from the videos my impact position is far from ideal. Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom,
In order to get the hands more forward you’ll have to address two blockers. Your body is too tall/far away from the ball and hitting it too much with the arms to get a lot of shaft lean.
See the video for a little more clarity,
Here are two starter drills for shaft lean.

Happy Golfing,
Tyler
