I went out to the range and practiced on keeping my shafts parallel on the
downswing starting with my driver. All went rather well and I felt good
about the practice session until I hit my SW and it was SHANK after SHANK
after SHANK… I’m not sure what I did wrong but looking back I felt in the
hamstrings and I think that’s what was forcing me to early extend in the
downswing.?
Been suffering from pitch shot shanks all week.. this video has cured
it.. Thanks a lot Mark :)?
good video please I don’t want you to think im trying to be clever but ive
suffered from shanks since I started still have them now but on these
three quarter shots you should concider are you just swinging your arms and
not turning your shoulders this was one of my faults so make sure you start
your swing with your shoulders hope this helps someone all the best?
From my own experience, “it” happens when the shaft is too flat and too
behind.?
Great advice Mark, shanks a million?
This isn’t a fix for everyone I guess, but try lifting your hands slightly
higher at address. I had horrible shanks for about a month. When I
checked on film I had really low hands on small pitch shots and when I
raised my hands slightly it gave my hands room in front of my legs to swing
through. If your legs are in the way of your hands coming into impact your
hands will just move forward of the ball so you don’t hit your legs. It
INSTANTLY fix my ssssssshanks! Just my ten pennies.?
Sounds like great advice Mark. Keep It Simple Stupid. KISS method is my
fav. It doesn’t have to be complex.?
my shanks often come from fear of shanks.Vicious circle,you have to attack
the ball fiercly,and it will stop.?
Thanks, happens to me occasionally when the ball is below my feet.?
I like this pitch shot advice: Hit it with your chest.?
i only shank when im tired or hungover and dont focus on the ball enough.
Thats not a euphemism.?
Hi Leslie. Try to strengthen left hand. Will help to square club through
impact. Start with short chips. Squaring the clubface. Slowly make swing
longer. Focus on squaring club face the rest will come Naturally.
Back to basics. Good grip/ setup, balanced, good distance from ball, swing
on plane, eye on ball, follow through to balanced finish. Think smooth &
square square square.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Nice one! I have noticed I have been throwing my hand out a bit through
impact now when I keep my hands closer through impact I find im hitting a
lot straighter but also topping and thinning a lot of shots.?
I had the same problem. It drove me mad. My solution: back on plane, not
to much to the inside. But what helped most was squaring the clubface at
impact. I tried everything. I was overcomplicating the shot. In was leaving
the club face wide open through impact. Went back to basics. Correct grip,
balanced, back and down on plane, square club face through impact. Hope
this helps. ?
