Good video, I’m a 6 handicap and come out of lock hitting the ball really good but the last two rounds all my irons have been shanking to the point where I don’t want to play!!!
The BEST way to get rid of shanks is to literally line the ball on the hosel at address and try to hit the ball off the toe of the club. You will pure it. This works immediately every time.
You have saved my golfing life. I have never shanked in my life and the past two weeks I could do nothing but. I tried many internet fixes and CZcams videos but your first drill here fixed it literally in the first swing and it stayed fixed for the rest of my session and in my next round. I will continue to use this inside practise swing before every shot. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Glad it sorted you out Steve! 🙌
I'm not glad you were fighting off the shanks, but it is good to know I'm not the only one. Yesterday, for no apparent reason, I was mid-bucket on the driving range and just started shanking every single shot. Got another bucket, shanked every ball. I went again today, same thing. I don't know why this is happening. The more I try to fix it, the worse it's getting. But reading that this drill worked for you gives me hope. I'm going to try this drill out tomorrow and hope It works for me.
@@dfin4588 How did you make out? I'm a solid ball striker and every time I go to the range, it starts shortly into my session. Weirdest thing. Makes me want to quit.
@@extrememetaldrummer1 I'm still fighting shanks. They seem to show up out of nowhere, for no apparent reason that I can pin down. Then it'll go away for a while for no apparent reason. In fact just the other day I started shaking again mid- round. It was so bad I just quit after about 5 holes. I'm still searching for the fix for me.
@@dfin4588 I fought this issue for about almost a week last year and then I felt a certain feel and didn't think about it and it went away. Fast forward almost 11 months and on hole 7 of my 9 holes, I started shanking randomly. Next day, no shank at home. I go back to that same place where I was shanking and hit their driving range. First 5 shots were butter, than nothing but shanks. It's a mental curse and from what I gather and have observed, it comes from closing the face too much and trying to control the impact too much instead of just not thinking about it and letting the club just drop into the slot. That's the best way I can describe it. Really weird huh? Glad someone can identify.
Terrific video. Thanks for the help on the shanks!
Rob these CZcams clips give us a great understanding of what's happening in our swing , combined with the lessons we have, have greatly improved my game thanks for being their when we need you, bring on next weeks clip.
Thank you Jules, with all your hard work & practice too it's great to see how many shots you've knocked off your handicap. Really proud of you!
Good drills - should help a lot! Thanks!
Excellent and spot on instruction. Thank you so much 🏌️👍
All things being equal, this is the ONLY way to cure the shanks. Don’t believe the snake oil others are peddling. Good vid.
Nice drill.
This works!
Hi Rob great drill...question...I am 5hcp and suffer with the dreaded shanks frequently...strange thing is I can feel it in my hands before I even hold a club!!!...anybody else out there like this??
This happens to me if I don't practice at least twice a week, kind of like if my muscle memory fades. If I practice a few days in a row no more shanks.
I’m a decent golfer and get them at least once a year...usually in the spring...when trying to cure the pull.
I thought I was the only one! I don't even want to hit balls, it's this weird head feeling. Happens every once in a blue moon to me.
@@extrememetaldrummer1 we must be shank twins Allan....head wrecker...lol
@@mikehogan9068 Honestly dude, it's so infrequent, but when it does happen, it doesn't want to go away for like a day. Early extension and too closed of a club face I think are what cause it. I haven't had it since the crap range session the other day. Aside from that, I've been golden!
I'm a pretty consistent golfer. I shank it to the right every time. I'm really good at it. It's also why I gave up golf.
Oh Fock, so many ways to shank. Am going to try darts!
Best comment so far. Good arrows son
Your decreasing the distance from address to impact... stay on heels. Toe the damn iron some.... ohhh they are awful.. swing with feet together to get hips goin... choke up and roll both hands some.... ive been there my peoples...
for f**ks sake... why do video makers include loud beeps ? I have to wear ear phones to hear the talking and then my ears are assaulted by a painful beep. please stop the bloody beeping.
😂😂 brilliant! Sorry Colin. Blame my editor (he's posh). Thanks for watching 👍🏻
pardon me Rob, I've got the grumps. :(
If you are watching this it means you have the shanks.....no one would watch this or any shank video unless they had them. And if you have the shanks you know exactly what they are....no need to tell us.
😂 point taken. Might help a few newbies who hear the phrase from their playing partners but don’t like to ask maybe? Cheers for watching anyway.
@@robdavies6650 I’m a connoisseur of shank videos..and they all begin with a detailed description of what they are...I know what they are by the dimple marks on my hosel.😫😫😫
@@thowdy 😂😂😂 brilliant! If I ever make another shank vid, I’ll cut to the chase! If you’ve not got rid of them yet just find out the route cause by seeing your nearest good pro 👍🏻 (early extension is normally the killer!).
That 'S' word is banned in 1399 countries from ever being spoken aloud, please refrain kind sir 😂
Thumbs down for bleeping
