Out of the hundred or so videos on shank cures this is the best. Hands down. KISS

Nelsons tip has made a huge difference on pitch shots around the green. Thanks Martin!

@gortklatu3784 11 месяцев назад

This absolutely worked for me, and fast! I like that the 4 tips affect the set up, the backswing and the downswing. Very clear! Many thanks!😀

@mgmt4597 4 года назад

Did you accidentally hit your ball on the heel? No problem, just completely change your setup and your backswing for your next shot.

@MSDOGS1976 2 года назад

Yeah....seems a little much. I find I sometimes get might weight on my toes so the heel suggestion would benefit me.

Thank you martin. Just did the 1st Cure which was standing further away from the ball. Guess what, No shank's on the Range for 45 minutes.

@judykline9772 2 года назад

(from the male portion of this email)-your last two of the four tips helped cure a nasty shanks I had for almost a week and a half. Swinging gently with my finger on the club helped changed my backswing so the club was extending back to come through square. Swinging hands close to body also helped Thanks

Great advice.

@gummball 11 месяцев назад

I've always battled with the shank and absolutely agree that addressing the ball off the toe (standing further away, don't just pull the club closer to your feet) and a more upright swing path (hit down, not out) will help. It'd be great to be able to train your swing so you don't even have to think about or do these things though

@Michael_MJ 4 года назад

Loved it.

@garryross7 Год назад

Great advice

@raillease1452 3 года назад

I agree that, generally speaking, standing further from the ball leads to other problems. For me, the best cure for the shanks is to concentrate on a fuller shoulder turn. This alone sets up a more "curved" swing path from the top of the backswing through the finish. The part of the instruction from the video that also makes sense is to brush your leg with your trail hand as you come through the ball. This keeps your hands from moving out of the swing path. Another issue that is not addressed in this video is "early extension", in which your hips move into the ball during the downswing as opposed to turning through it (right to left for a right handed golfer). Early extension will automatically move your club face further from your body, which automatically puts you into the dreaded shank position. So, the best cure for the shanks is to rotate your shoulders and release your hips properly. Just sayin'....

@typeosign5094 2 года назад

I've been having the early release of the hips problem lately, and not moving my weight through the ball properly. Seemed to come out of nowhere! But definitely important to note that shanks don't only come from the issues talked about in this video.

@johnnycasswell7290 Год назад

I agree with this, early extension and lack of hip rotation to 'exit left' is one of my main causes of the shanks, which I have been having a spell of, especially on half wedge shots.

@andrewjones23 Месяц назад

strengthening my grip and keeping my right arm closer to my body on the downswing has cured my shanks!

@AjaxNixon 3 года назад

I've had the shanks so bad and never knew it. Sometimes I would it on the curved part of the club and thought I hit the toe. Sometimes I would just straight up hit the shaft and thought that I topped the ball. Sometimes I would be hitting the heel and thought I was hitting the center. Been working on it for the last week or so and I think I might finally turn into a decent golfer soon. My swing is good I just had no idea I was favoring the heel of the club so much that would cause so much inconsistency. I'd rather hit it slightly outside of center.

@juanitafischer810 3 года назад

Thank you...you showed me how to stop the shank. I golfed this last Monday and shanked the ball three times. I was so depressed! So, when I hit a perfect drive and I was 100 yards from the green and now taking my gap wedge to hitting it close to pin...all I am thinking about is the shank. So today, after seeing your stop the shank tutorial, I did not shank once. Instead of thinking about not shanking I was totally focused on the shot. What did it for me was just creating a little more distance between me and the ball at set up. The first time I did it, I pulled the ball to the left. I think that was just me getting use to the new set up. From then on, I was hitting it real well. I think the reason I was standing originally close to the ball is because I felt real comfortable in the set up...so comfortable that I wanted get even closer to the ball. And doing that brought me enough closer to be able to shank the ball. I was so worried at the start of today's round but after a few good strikes, my confidence came back. Thanks again!

The taking the club back tip I'm definitely going to try as I think I bring the club back too flat and then am sending it out so presenting the hosel to the ball. As for Martin wanting to give Blair his secret sauce, the less said about that the better!!😆🤦‍♂

@user-ov9px2iy2y Год назад

Do these also work for hitting the driver towards the heel also.

@wildcat8797 3 года назад

Gonna try this tomorrow. I play a really good 2 rounds in my local golf tourney this past weekend. Shot 79-78, just left strokes on the greens. But I was striking every club very well. 2 days later I come out & shank every single shot with in 80-155 yards with my AW-7iron. Complete baffling & infuriating. Didn’t shank one but once in 2 months. Idk where it came from.

@The_Preacher_LLC 3 года назад

@natealger4205 6 месяцев назад

I'm sure this works for some, but I'm just chiming in to say standing farther back did the opposite for me. As a tall player, I leaned over more which exacerbated the issue. Once I got a little closer and stood more upright the shanks went away. Weight on the heels helped too.

@jamescunningham2306 3 года назад

I just realized, that in order for the shanks too go away I need that secret sauce! But they both won't tell you were to get it. I got a big money game coming up, one cent greenies with double press, and alot of stress, I need that sauce " NOW".

@johnathonwaggoner358 3 года назад

I think there’s another kind of shank, and it’s the one where it hits the front head of the club (where the tip of the head is at for those wondering) almost the same effect.

@HoosierBoy86 3 года назад

They call that a toe shank.

@arniestephens7131 3 года назад

I felt this. My 56 degree is the only club I do this with for some reason.

@tommiehl677 10 месяцев назад

I wish I only had 3 shanks. I’m at a point I don’t even want to touch an iron. My shanks are face shanks. I played 9 holes and face shanked every shot with an iron. That’s like 15-20 in 9 holes. I don’t shank a lot on the driving range, but once on the course, disaster is one iron shot away. How does one fix that fear?

@kotschsve 28 дней назад

Stay tall, especially with short Clubs. Avoid to have your weight on the toes when contacting the ball. That is my short Tipps ☺️

@midlifebiker7424 4 года назад

Standing further back is opposite to brushing your leg so I suppose you pick one of them.

@leecorcoran6174 4 года назад

MidLifeBiker stand slightly further back at address , then on your downswing feel like your brushing your legs 🦵🥊🥊🥊🥊shank proof

@bryanwhelan5431 3 года назад

I was thinking the same thing. If you do both of those you will end up hitting it off the toe or completely missing the ball!!!

@nigelhunt4165 4 года назад

Take your most exspensive crystal wine or brandy glass and stand it just outside the ball, hit the ball without smashing your glass, you will never shank again!!! Of course you can cheat and use another ball or a tee if you're a chicken!! haha =0). Good luck, Nigel, PGA pro, Norway.

Might be a bit awkward carrying a brandy glass around the golf course haha

@Steve-ln7wr 3 года назад

Butch Harmon claims that the club face is too close at impact....

@penguingolf2805 3 года назад

Usually appreciate Martin’s advice but he didn’t mention the causes of hitting the ball off the hosel. Coming over the top with a closed face is an obscure one as is not turning the shoulders enough. And rolling the face open can lead to both open face shanks from the inside and outside in with a closed face. I think standing farther away is terrible advice. At the range, place a tissue box or headcover just outside the ball and let your body make its adjustments instinctively. On the course pick a blade of grass or spot just outside the ball and avoid hitting it. Give your meddling “self 1” a simple task rather than contemplating the shanks and let “self 2” do its job free of crippling interference. Just last week I was confident with my full swings and opened with a good drive and well positioned lay up to an uphill lie to 75 yards. Decided to 3/4 punch a PW rather than a 60LW because of the lie. Shanked that and the next 40 yarder over a bunker to a now short pin. 2 shanks in a row on my third and fourth shots of the day with my ball now a yard away from the hip high lip of the trap I was to lob over. I wasn’t turning my shoulders. Byron Nelson also said that “You can’t stand too close to the ball.” Within reason, sure but I still have trouble with that.

@ben-vf 3 года назад

Shanking a wedge after you've done all the hard work is the WORST!! Strangely i never seem to shank from the rough or when I'm out of position.

@penguingolf2805 3 года назад

Ben Jarmin, My shanks generally come from both over confidence and lack there of. When confident I look up to the my great shot thereby having my right shoulder come out. When apprehensive I tend to restrict my shoulder turn. I wish I had videos of my recoveries from difficult positions. They’re usually worthy of TV and the simple reason is that the shot is planned with utmost clarity and focused concentration is at it’s height. And that doesn’t mean getting stiff and tight with fear or anger. Calm and focused- like a child playing his favorite video action game.

@ben-vf 3 года назад

@@penguingolf2805 Yes, i understand. This one makes the most sense to me at the moment. I was suspicious of taking it to far inside. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6Hf3o9aPXW4.html

@penguingolf2805 3 года назад

ben jarmin, that must be the number one cause. If Homer Kelly’s “The Golfing Machine” can identify over a million ways to hit a ball, there must be just as many ways to shank one. That’s great instruction for taking it too far inside. I hope you’re not a roller.

@jareroken9127 3 года назад

“Stand further away from the ball!” Awful advice. Even if it stops the shanks it causes other swing flaws.

@AjaxNixon 3 года назад

Some people may be setting up too close, it's not a one size fit all for each person.

@Silenced_by_nazi_youtube 2 года назад

That depends on how close someone is standing to the ball. Many people (including me) stand probably the same distance to our 9 iron as we do our longer irons or even our hybrids and aren't even aware of it. This of course causes a myriad of problems. But I think knowing the distance to stand from a ball is incredibly important. Even a pinch too close or too far and you'll end up trying to compensate for it.

@brianclarke5977 3 года назад

Why does this bloke have to shout all the time , imagine a lesson with him

@davoq8706 2 года назад

Points 1 and 2 might be okay. But point 3 with the club steep at near 90 degs at the top of the back-swing is total nonsense and goes against everything that builds a good swing - a steep club might fix it for the next shot but the path will end up coming from out to in where all hell breaks loose.
