• balls_deep: “So I had the shanks earlier this year, and it was driving me nuts. Watched lots of videos and did the standard drills – standing further from the ball, second ball outside addressed ball etc. etc. and nothing worked. I was talking to my FIL who has also struggled with them, and he said he thought his head was moving towards the ball on the backswing. I started to think about this and started messing with it, and it actually fixed it. It was mostly happening to me on 3/4 wedges, and I realized my head was moving forward slightly. Try it out – might make a bit difference. I now feel like I’m more on my heels, and I keep my head back during the swing and boom. Wedges lethal again.”
• PorscheFan: “I can tell you that while the Mizuno MP33 wasn’t the best for shank dispersion, it had amazing feel. You could feel exactly where you hit it on the hosel… If you hit it right on the center of the hosel it was just pure… Like off-COG butter. Best feeling in the world. Made me want to shank more just to get that feeling.”
• Milfordlefty: “Do you shank hybrids or fairway woods? If not, look for a set all hybrid style irons, an example is Cleveland golf Launcher HB irons. Or try this change at address. It is likely your arms are moving out from your body in the downswing. Address the ball with the toe on the ball. If you are moving arms out, you’ll move middle of club to ball. Try it. See a pro for a lesson to figure out why arms are moving out.”
• Ri_Redneck: “By definition, a shank is only a fraction of an inch from being a perfect shot. You’re returning the club to the ball slightly further out than you normally do. For me, I do it when I start really focusing on my line and unconsciously start crowding the ball. The preshot routine has usually gotten sloppy when this happens.”
