    I've been watching swing videos for weeks trying to cure the shanks and this video finally hit on what I've been doing wrong with my hips - just got back from the range and didn't hit a single shank, all my shots straight or with a draw. Thanks!

    That was me 100% Clay hips sliding towards target standing up no room to hit the ball then shanking. Fingers crossed I've turned the corner now after having the shanks for 5 years!! Nearly gave up the game on numerous occasions got down to 8hcp with them though no idea how I did that to be honest. Wish I had seen this particular video years ago as it sounds spot on. Keep up the good work Clay 12 months from now I am sure you will have a mass following. 👍

    Probably the most down to earth logical golf instruction on the planet....I find myself thinking of your advice while I'm playing a round now and it always helps when things go a little off....I've been fighting the shanks for the second time in 20 years and this video makes it so clear and so simple and provides both a quick fix when in panic mode during a round or longer term to fix the real cause and get rid of the dreaded shank forever! Keep the great golf advice coming Clay.

    I just got back from the range hitting half of my balls as shanks. I just watched your video and cleared my hip like you said and now hitting perfect! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

    I've created the shanks in the past, by hitting dozens of drivers on the practice tee. When I finally switch to a short iron, my swing has been grooved way to flat, and either the centrifugal force, or, leading with the hosel possibly, or driving the hips, I shank with the best of them. It's also showed up in little pitches, and chips....about then I ask my playing partners to shoot me in the head! Now, I never hit more than a few shots, before switching clubs. Thanks for the dozens of great videos, I've learned a bunch. Also hats off to you for demonstrating the wrong ways to swing, and all the wonky drills. It's a miracle that you can still hit the ball so well🤣

    This video nailed it for me! Shank gone! And I finally understand what I was doing and how to fix it! Thanks Clay!

    This helped a TON!! I was really struggling, watched a ton of videos. This was first one to fix it.

    You nailed it yet again Clay. I was doing exactly what you stated...starting too low and standing up leading in with the hosel. It felt wrong but I just couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong even though I'm a decent player that's been at this game for 40 years. Sometimes you just need a helping hand, so thank you!!

    Clay thanks for the great video. I shank quite often so I took your ideas to the range tonight and they worked like a charm. Really appreciate your instruction!

    This is a great video that explains the cause of shanking the golf ball and how to fix it. A lot of videos out there on CZcams talk about the same subject, but I found this one the most precise and work the best for me. Thank you

    Clay. Thank you! I'm a 5 handicap and working hard to get lower. I suddenly started shanking the ball (consistently with my short irons) and your video helped me to realize my left knee was sliding to the target instead of to the ball. Keeping my right leg posted from the inside cured me instantly. Thank you... I was about to lose my mind.

    Superb, thanks Clay. Best golf instructor on CZcams by a country mile.

    Best most useful video EVER ! We all get the shanks from time to time ... this is perfect for solving it ... thanks so much !

    I am 72 and have become desperate with repeated shanking. I looked up a few CZcams clips to see if I could identify what I may be doing. It's your clip I'm sure that has pin-pointed my problem. I have been suffering more and more from ongoing Osteo and I believe the reason is I am not rotating my hips, but sliding through the swing, as shown in your clip. Of all the possibilities, I am sure this is the one. Love my golf, so don't want to give up yet! Thanks a lot for the advice - just need to find the Fountain of Youth and then I'll be great again!

    This was by far the best video to stop shaking. Watched about ten others some instructors with giant egos especially the guy in the all-black outfit. I rarely have an issue with shaking but had one during a round last week and then had several while hitting 100-yard shots with my wedge. I moved my hands out and tried seeing an imaginary ball next to the one I was hitting. Worked great hit 60 shots no shanks.
