How to Cure the Shanks with Peter Headland

[jibbajabba311]

I shanked 2 shots on the 18th hole a couple of weeks ago. I ended up with an 88 because of it. Still, my best round ever by 7 strokes. But, it always hurts to see a ball go diagonally left of the club face (I'm a lefty). It's painful.

The Shanks are horrible. I have them right now, and I think this video relates to the problem with my swing. If you're like me and looking for a cure, make sure to watch this video as well as others to determine which swing problem is likely causing your shanks. I've watched four videos now and seen six different swing problems that cause the shanks (according to these pros).

@lakefrontanku ... I hope you cured your shanks by now. But I'd say most of these videos are garbage. The guy in this video is swinging with this arms, that's a sure way to shank the ball. A lot of things can produce the shank. You're hanging back with your weight on your right foot and letting your arms race ahead. Or you never transferred your weight back and trying to hit at the ball. But it boils down to swinging with your arms and hands instead of with proper weight shit and rotation.
