Can’t believe you didn’t get Lee in the studio for this

Currently stuck in shank hell. And it came right after the best stretch of golf in my life. Can’t snap out of it. Watched so many videos and so many drills. Might just take a month or 2 off

Love the anti-shank video. Never thought about moving closer to the ball and learning to come more inside out. Always thought that I should stand farther away. I’ll, give that a try as well as the drills.

Always a pleasure to listen and learn from a tour professional, especially a guy like James.

Great video. I defo found keeping right foot down a bit longer helped - stopped me early extending

"This is not a clickbait video to say that you'll never hit a shank again." It literally says that in the title!😂 Still great information though guys.

What a great video I’ve struggled with shanks for years some great tips keeping the hands closer to your body 👌👌

Keep these coming please, brilliant

That's a lot of valuable advice for a little under 19 minutes of a golfer's day.

Great vid. I had a spell a few years ago where I was hitting shanks and it was really frustrating.

Very timely Dan. In General i have made good strides with my handicap & generally doing well. However over the last 6/7 rounds half have been ruined by borderline shanks & it really knocks your confidence & progress

Great session lads.

This was a great video gents! Shed a whole new perspective of what I was doing incorrectly. All about feel once you figure out what you're doing wrong and then gaining confidence again. For me, I was shooting even through 10 holes and then by hole 11 after a 300 yd drive, I hit my pitching wedge and shanked it out of nowhere. It wouldn't stop. I've been struggling on and off for 2 weeks. Now that I've identified it, I've almost remedied it. It's a scary thing if you love the sport and want to take it professionally like I do. Thanks for the content!

I put strike tape on my clubs and defo hit from the hosel. It came from nowhere bet was devastating. 2 things helped - Pete Cowens “wringing the towel” drill and also dropping my right foot back a little and turning it slightly toward target. Seems to have worked. Ball strikes now showing mainly middle or toward the toe.

Good stuff cheers chaps.

What a phenomenal video

5 handicap just went through the worst back nine in three years. Started with a chip off the heel, then every iron shot after was heeled. Awful, disgusting especially when playing for doe. On the course it's difficult to find an answer, from feedback on course my hips were open and dragging the club through impact. This has never happened before, kind of scary to feel so out of control.

good vid. I just get the odd period where the shanks kick in and lose all feel of how to hit an iron! Wil ltry some of these techniques

Thank you. This was a good lesson. I shank my short irons. From Pretoria RSA

yes and tends to creep in only with wedges or around the green

Hi Dan / James. Great video. I have a question on delivering the club face & hitting the ball out of middle. If I address the ball in the middle of the club face I tend to strike the ball more on the toe. I guess I swing down close to my body trying to get an in to out path, so I tend to address the ball with the centre of the club face more to the far edge of the ball. I find I strike the middle more consistently. Love to hear comments & maybe a follow up vlog on this. Ray

The only true way to guarantee never hitting a shank again is to give up golf. (I'm an early extension shanker)

Dan, let the guest pro be the focus of the video. James had a lot of good insights and most likely had more to share.

My issue is after hitting a decent shot off the tee, hitting a poor second shot either shanking it or topping it. I always put it down to lifting my head or just not hitting with conviction. 🤷

Yes that’s me, I never know we’re they come from? Not every round, but when it happens, you can’t believe, but the best cure is to just forget and move on

Shanking in irons are rare for me, if at all…. All my shanks are with shorter clubs with less speed 80-30 yards and now even with my chipping, the pitching has infiltrated my shorter game now and I’m now a total mong….

I'm shanking because of a to open clubface. Would have been great if you also addressed thát.

Question - love to two ball drill , with addressing the outside ball and hit the inside ball. Should I also set up this way when playing a real round - ie., Address on the outside, as if the 2nd ball is there?

I have “shanked” All my golfing career. Any club, any time as I am now in my 60’s. I have never been a solid iron player. Any ideas? 4:10

Higher tee more draw.. lower tee slice?

I struggle with them , mostly within my short game ie chipping & pitching . I could have a decent round going and all of sudden i get the s###ks .

Going through it right now!🤬

Shot 79 with 2 shanks i hate um. There is many reasons and its mostly tension and fear

I’m only shanking my wedges on short -50 yard pitch shots. I shank or skull the ball across the ground to the right! Grrr 😡

For fourth odd years I next shanked a ball had a replacement knee and now cannot stop

I shank with Any club at anytime. Could go for weeks without a shank then here they come. Any ideas

How about leaving it more to James having invited him?

I am in shanks prison. I believe it is solely from tension in my grip and not committing to releasing the club head. I have an in to out swing

I get the shanks from time to time, index 12

I only shank my lob wedge with anything less than a full swing. Horrible.

How is Lee not part of this video, isn't it known also as a Whitaker?😁

I shank from EE and too steep

Yes sir, sadly. I can definitely associate with the s***k...

On golf for 30 plus years never hit one shank hit my first tank last year and now I can't get rid of them that's all I hit I don't know what to do I wasn't a bad golfer a nine handicapper. I've tried everything I'm about ready to quit golf I want from loving it to hate you

Yes that's me it's a nightmare, dsgusting

Dan get on with it, 6 minutes before starting.

Excellent lads. Ignore Paul, brilliantly led Dan.

Keep head down a short time more, and hit at the grass just to the left of the ball

Just ruined 6 days in SE Spain due to the dreaded S-word!

The fact you’re saying the word makes me think I’ll do it, so for future reference, don’t even say it please….
