I love this guy, he just makes everything so simple. Helped me alot.

my swing was great then a fucking shank fucked me over fuck it

@toreman81 Ha, it's the most infuriating game I've ever played, and yet we all keep coming back because it can also be a thing of beauty.

Usually for me though, it's just infuriating :-)

over the last 3 rounds ive played i went from my best ever round, to one of my worst, and then today i shanked almost every single iron shot i hit! and i mean proper shanks, of the hosel, scuttling along the ground. i dont understand this fucking game

You talked about weight, and asked if it was on the heal toe or arch, but you never said where it should be. I assume arch... They need to extend your time, there is no doubt while watching these clips your rushing it, Ive watched several clips and noticed several words being switched, rushed moments etc.

@jeanmunn Use ur left hand fully span with your thumb nail in the top groove of the grip and your little finger on your left thigh. This helps maintain the correct distance from the ball. let me no if this helps and or makes any sense. I'm a PGA pro btw not some have a go lol

I'm 6'2'' and this is my problem specially with the wedges, even worse if I'm in the practice mat going for 35+ yard shots.

[MHMonsie]

god this video is perfect for me im 6'3" and i have been shanking it bad recently and now i know why, your the best Michael

[ZeroSumJ1]

@xHAMiiEx i love him too.

[SuperMilo15]

anyone find if you have the shanks the hosel suddenly looks a lot bigger than the clubhead when you set up??

Holy shit, I have a plus .1 handicap index and last week shot a 2 under round. Went to the driving range today and shanked about 10 balls in a row. WTF I do think I was leaning a little forward after watching Michael Breeds vid. Now I try to wiggle my toes a tad before I hit, to ensure I'm not to far forward.
