That example swing at 3:16 made me spit out my sweet tea, I laughed so hard. I didnt see that coming. Good stuff.

🤣🤣 had to pause .. first shot “ooh look!” The surprise on Mark’s face .. love it.. I used to play that shot against my brother-in-law at squash 🤣🤣 .. pressing play now

Good good fixes - loving the Team Crossfield coaching approach - more please!!

Awesome Mark! Lovely advice for coaches as well!

Great video and honesty. Such refreshing takes!

I occasionally battle a shank with wedges. I will try to use one of those thoughts in the future. Thanks!

Hi Mark, I got them last week. First 4 iron shots. Changed set up to play a fade and it helped.

good video Marco, that drill just stoping my shank.

Dan’s shoulder level tip is really good.

Oh golf gods, I had the shanks in late 2017 - I made a pact with myself that I would stop that by the next golf season. I'm positive that my backswing and downswing looked much like this guys because I was trying to "shallow" the club on the downswing. I managed to fix them for good by stopping trying to shallow the club, which probably made my shoulders work just as you want them to in the video. Next realizing that I shouldn't swing the club at the ball, in a good swing I'm clearing left hip and hands are exiting left, the clubhead will naturally (fly out to the ball) and move down the line at the ball. Everything improved beyond my issues with the shanks.

Had a lesson at the start of the season, duck hook with driver was due to major re gripping. Didn't even know until I saw it on video. Today I learned I have a family, us "regrippers".

Brilliant, just wish i lived near you.

LOL!!! Love this for the simple discussion of the validity of having daily swing drills. How would anyone know how anyone else would interpret exactly from watching a video???

Thank you guys, I'll share this with him!! I'm next lol

Fairly sure this will help me.. Allthough not a perenial shanker i definitely shallow my shouders a touch and get hands a bit deep.. Hands feel so much higher when keeping shouder tilt more....for me its more toe strikes as my bad shots as im lifting up and away and never get back to position... Cheers bruh

I had a real problem with shanking the ball: it seems that I had too much control/pull with my left arm/hand, and was presenting an open face/hosel to the ball. I have to actively almost throw the club face through the ball ; as my golf pro said, it is almost as if I’m trying to throw the club down the range with my right hand.....it works, fortunately! Great video anyway Mark 👍

What are your thoughts on the explanar system swing thing.???? Discuss 💪💪💪

"Oh no, I've made them worse"

I thought I was shanking for a while until I realised I was actually hitting the ball almost out of the middle but with a wide open club face! Squared up the face on my backswing, problem solved! 😂

Mark I have been a big shanker for couple of years. Your tip to check that can see the ball and your left foot seems to have cured me. I hope. I think the cause of my thanks has been swinging while looking at mirrors. It made my shoulder plane to be almost horizontal.

you mentioned regrippers my wife does this without knowing it she plays off 12 have you any drills to stop her doing it

Has Dan bought a Tag Monaco? Lovely

Mark... what golf items give you the most value in terms of making you a better player? And what order would you recommend getting some of these things? When are lessons/coaching most valuable?

I have a shanking problem, but only with wedges especially the more lofted, I can see the ball marks getting progressively closer to the hosel as I count down through my clubs, resulting in an 80 yard shot filling me with dread, but at least I’m shot managing better now to leave a full shot. But still not ideal 😩

Classic vid

I'm a regripper, and, in practice, I've tried hitting the ball like you suggested by practice swinging, then straight into ball hitting, but find I hit everything way right. Not a shank, good contact but club face way open at contact. Obviously I have other issues In my swing or set up which I "correct" by regripping, but get away with it mostly. Maybe you could do a video on what else needs changing, to stop me hitting right if I don't regrip............please 👍

I have twist hosel......

That’s a great pm shirt Danny boy has on.

Shank you very much!!!!

There’s one in your eye nearly😂 ooo first in

Would you want to hire yourself as a coach if you were a shanker after watching this video? Did you put more green backs in your pocket or drive more green backs away? You know when you taste a drink at its a little off,,, the tone of this video seems a little off if making more money is the goal,,,,,, Talent and coaching information is spot on. How it was packaged?

I’m having this problem. I shanked 6 straight irons today and I quit and went home. Hope this helps. I appreciate it

Oh no, you did it, you've mentioned the "S" word! 😱

I’m a re-gripper!!!! 😩😭!! Don’t know why on earth I do that!

Shank you Mark

i used to be a serial shwanker but i,m ok now :) x

I suffered with them for an entire season. Too much time in the practice bunker triggered them and I was doing it with everything except the woods... Even wee chips. Was too proud/embarrassed to see the pro as I was a 5.8 handicap at that point. Wish I had. About 10 months later, a colleague offered a tip about using a line of three balls all touching and removing the middle one. Try to strike the nearest without clipping the farthest ball. A couple of shots and it was cured. Think i still suffer the flat swing plane problem as I tend to have a block right or a massive power draw and low ball flight.

Never been and issue for me …….. UNTIL NOW.

anyone else here after there first round back today? 😭😭😭

Not for me thanks. Suffered this disease 100 yds and in for a full year about 20 years ago and I hate to even see it on the course for fear it will come back.

OK golfers here is the cure for shanks, coming from a total shanker ;) - simply address the ball with your weight on your toes/balls of your feet. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, if you set up with your weight forward then at impact your body will counter balance pushing the weight more into the heels which moves your strike pattern more towards the centre of the club face. The student in this video clearly has his weight on his heels at address then at impact his weight is in his toes pushing the hosel closer to the ball. What do you think of that theory Mark?

"That doesn't feel right" has got to be the most frustrating thing a coach can hear from their student. Of course it doesn't feel right! You've been doing it wrong your whole life!!!

Shanks can happen to anyone...ask Ian Poulter.

Shanks? This one CANNOT be for me...

1st

At the moment, 3220 people out there are now cursed with the shot that shall not be named, but that Crossfield has acknowledged its existence, and we must ask the golf Gods for forgiveness for having watched a video related to....nope can’t say it 😉

Come on be honest, everyone knows a shanker. They're usually talking up a good game, but fall on their face when they skew it it out side ways. The usual reaction muttered under breath as you turn away from them, oh shit.

I'm a serial cheater 🤣😅

How can you swear on the internet 🙈🙈
