【世界トップ30を調べてわかった】！結局最強のトップでのシャフトアングルとは？！世界ランク上位30人のトップでのクラブシャフトを独自視点で検証してわかった！

[Analyzing the World’s Top 30] Which shaft angle at the top is truly the strongest? ─ We independently evaluated Across the Line / Parallel / Laid-Off using a practical performance-based standard. In this video, we clarify how the top position affects the downswing, and why a strong across-the-line move tends to be disadvantageous. What You’ll Learn in This Video The hidden pitfalls in defining Across-the-Line / Parallel / Laid-Off Actual measurements of shaft angles at the top for the world’s top 30 players (using our own standard) Summary of the results: which style is most common, and which trend proves most effective in real play The mechanism of how top position influences downswing path Why a strong across-the-line move becomes disadvantageous (inside-out tendency, tougher face control, etc.) Practical self-checks and correction tips (reduce “excess” rather than attempt total reversal) Our unique judging criteria (key point of this video) Judging Standard Used in This Video We set the reference axis as the extension of the line connecting the left elbow and the grip end. Shaft parallel to that axis = Parallel Shaft pointing below that axis = Laid-Off Shaft pointing above that axis (toward right of target) = Across-the-Line ※ Compared to the conventional target-line reference, this functional axis of the pulling left arm allows fairer comparison, especially for players with more upright top positions. Key Findings (Summary) Among the top 30, nobody has a strong across-the-line position. A mild across-the-line is still competitive enough. Laid-Off and Parallel positions tend to make plane recovery easier and face management more stable. Why Does Top Position Matter? The relative angle between arms and shaft at the top dictates whether the club tends to “stand up” or “drop inside” during transition. The stronger the across-the-line, the more the club dives inside, making plane recovery and face control more difficult. A Laid-Off tendency helps the club return to plane and repeat an inside-to-inside path more consistently. Self-Check (Recommended) Record or photograph your top position. Draw a line connecting left elbow and grip end. Compare shaft angle to that line: Parallel / Laid-Off / Across. If you’re strongly across-the-line, first reduce it to a smaller cross rather than force a complete Laid-Off change. Notes & Tips This criterion is a practical guideline, not an absolute. Optimal position depends on mobility, club length, and shot strategy. For strong across-the-line positions, gradual moderation is more realistic than drastic reconstruction. Camera angle matters: best accuracy comes from placing the lens directly behind the grip at the top, along the target line.

Mild across-the-line is playable; reduce excess first. 👍 If this helps, please like the video! 🧭 Subscribe so you don’t miss future research breakdowns. 📩 Questions & requests welcome in the comments!
