Hi Sean,

I shank pitch shots regularly. I dont know why. Its not to do with my balance I have checked. I dont shank any other shot.

What could be causing this?

[clemshaw]

@gmonkey808 A couple things; you have the shortest club in the bag and are the closest to the ball with the hands at this point; so any loss of spine angle with eliminate that little space you have and second, it is way too easy to release at the ball when pitching; see "arms and body timing; shawn clement", "stop crashing; shawn clement" and "How to feel the chip and pitch; shawn clement" for starters; and "Posture integrity; shawn clement" and my shank vids for spine angle and space.

zoning in on feel using this artillery range finding technique makes sense. I've struggled with this aspect of the game a lot. I've got the 1st part of the routine down (practice stroke too easy).. Now just need to incorporate the 2nd "overshoot" in my routine. This principal would serve well in lag putting too I would assume. thnx for the tips. great videos

@bajadulce There you go! I have a couple of students from the Army that told me the same thing since; just an amazing way for the instincts to let us know what they want and help calm the conscious mind; and yes, works great on lag puts and chipping as well! Thanks for the great comment; Shawn

@avn33 Phil Mickelson is also somewhere betting on horse racing and eating a spicy bean quesadilla admiring a picture of himself.

@avn33 Well, another tour pro who was a multiple winner showed this tip to me; his name is David Ogrin and he is a really good guy; they also perform this tip in the US Army with artillery fire and in many other disciplines; it is the way the human brain was designed to zone in on it's pray a couple million years ago too; you just happen to have the same wiring inside you but it looks like you decided to believe someone else's opinion instead of getting your own facts...Oh well...

what are you going to do kale?

[KaleAshrim]

@mksim81 - Leading edge underneath? No acceleration? Look at the divot flying up around 1:15 in the vid! Try doing that with a thin shot :).

@20secondsOFame - You should avoid discriminatory racial/sexual comments. I suggest that you remove this post

I am a fanatic of the short game, expecially since I'm a mediocre ball striker. I found this tip to be very useful. Why It helps your powerful brain to bracket the swing speeds for the appropriate distance.  I think I'll incorporate it into my practice and see how it works. Makes sense to me.
