The concept is that if your wedge has 10* of bounce and you have 5* of shaft lean, there is still 5* of bounce to work with, whereas if you have 13* of shaft lean, bounce is now negative 3*. I grew up playing golf in the 70's, and we all played short shots with pronounced shaft lean (and we did it very well!Accordingly, I read or re-read several short game books this winter and for me the material covered in 3-Releases describes a system which is the best fit for my game of all of them.
