pause at the top of your backswing, see how you're standing up and looking out past the ball, try to keep your head over the ball keeps the knees bent a little, don't stand up out of the shot. also your club is way to flat and under the plane, you'll notice the left arm under the line of your shoulders, try and take it back a little more outside and a little steeper. a great video for you would be Jim Hardy's The Plane Truth for Golfers, have a look at it if you get the chance.
@silowhore actually on closer inspection you're on plane at the top, you just need to stay over the ball a bit more and don't take the club back so much on the inside. pause your takeaway bit by bit and compare where the club is compared to a one planer like say rory mciilroy and you will see where it needs to be
Hey bud, take a look at 0:13-0:14...notice how your tush is in line with the left post of your hitting net? Your tush covers the left post nicely, then look at impact, around 0:17 and notice how your tush has moved forward 2-3 inches? Well, that's why you hit the hossel, you moved the club head just enough to shank it. Try putting the back of a chair up against your tush and keep it there through impact, after impact you can go to your normal finish. It's a good drill for correcting the pelvis.
The reason you're shanking the ball is because you aren't level'd with it. You are shooting off a turf that is an inch higher than your feet. you basically have to fix the path of your swing, on the downswing, and that takes too much concentration. If you want to hit solid shots, start with the basics........... stay on the same angle as your ball.
looks like the ball was too far away. you lost a good bit of balance on your backswing. i dunno if i'm right but as you take it back i see kind of a strain on your upper body to want to get closer to the ball.
Setup looks OK, but the first thing I noticed was how you tend to snatch the club too far inside going back. Also, did you throw the club over the house because you intended to throw it into the net?
Jesus Christ!!! Its just practice. And even if you were out on the course, its just a game. I love the sport but golf and play all the time. But it is the perfect example of grown men acting like children. Quit being a pissy pants.
Your problem is that as you take away, you lean too far over the ball and, the compensation in mid swing is making you, pardon the term "shank" your ball.
Arms act as the speed factor and guide. Never let them get to far away. Swing your arms as fast as you want but that's why so many fail. Swing them with a controlled speed and you'll see progress.
Remember distance is gained by club head speed. Swing speed is gained by proper hip turn not how fast you can swing. If you rotate properly your hands and arms naturally try to keep up and that's were speed is gained naturally.
Dude...........How in the hell is that comfortable.
Bend a little, move away from the ball, at take away you lift the club to fast. I can go on but man I'll just tell you to keep at it. Golf 101 starts with all your weight should be felt within both insteps of your feet at address. Start with that. Then during the swing you transfer the feeling to the back foot at the top. When downswing starts the power comes from the hips turning your weight through impact. Dont ever let your body get ahead.
lmfao. #1 i dk how the fuck u did that. #2 ur swing sucks sry, could u stand up any straighter? holy shit batman! lmao relaxxxx bend ur knees its all in the hips happy
Super flat swing plate and very wristy in the take away. Look how wide open that club face is at the half way point. Start the club back lower as well as a better shoulder turn should help fix that.
I doesnt matter how many years you play shanks never die... they simply hide for longer periods... See what happened with sergio yesterday in the US Open!
as for your swing.. all I can say is try to develope a preshot routine that sets you at the correct distance to the ball.... swing for Balance instead of power.. Balance keeps your spine constant and hence you are less likely to shank it...
P.S - Look at the lag you generated when you threw the club.
That is very helpful information, Never really thought of that being the issue but will take that into consideration as I still get the occasional shank even after 3 years since the vid was taken!!
Hey dude, I liked this video, made me chuckle, not due to the fact you shanked the ball, though.
I used to have the same problem, I used to shank the ball all the time, and did it for around a year. Luckily, though, it's gone. The only problem I had, is that I was using more of my arms instead of my shoulders. It looks to me as though you're doing the same, using your arms for your backswing, insead of taking a large shoulder turn.
you have a decent swing really apart from 1 fatal flaw-you take the club behind you in the takeaway-it has to go straight + up-not behind + up..master this and you will hit great shots-good luck.

wzxy123 3 years ago 2
i did notice what your problem was though.
at the very end of your backswing, you kinda lean forward.
that causes your shank.
try to stay level at the top and not try to reach for the ball.
just let the club hit the ball.
