As someone who used to play a lot and shoot 70s consistently I was really close to quitting the game. I don’t play as much as I used to because of work and such. So when I’d go out it wasn’t fun anymore I randomly got the shanks a couple months ago and this was like a light bulb went off in my head. Thank you !! No longer scared to hit a 60 yard pitch shot

@paulwilsongolf Год назад

So glad you found me. Shanks are not fun but super simple to fix. If you have shot in the 70's you have the fundamentals. Be sure you do daily practice swings if you are not getting out there as much as you want. You need to keep the remembering the motion. Plus, the longer the break the more you will want to hit with the arms so practice swings keeps the feeling of using the body. I talk about it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fuOJxv_22Hk.html Stay focused and check your set up every time. If so, the shanks will never come back.

@natealger4205 5 месяцев назад

I just want to say thank you! I've watched 7-10 videos and you were the only one who mentioned tall players often bend over too much and the suggested fix of moving back only exacerbates the problem. I just hit 75-100 balls without shanks now that I am standing more upright. Thanks so much!

@paulwilsongolf 5 месяцев назад

Glad you found me. If you look below this tip I have fixed tons of shankers. When you read their comments most tell you that they are taller so height has to be an issue. Stay focused and remember this for the future then they will never come back.

UNBELIEVABLE! I'm 62 and a 4 hcp. Every 4-5 years I get the shanks at the range. Yesterday was the day. Couldn't stop... hit 2 buckets of hosel rockets with my 6 and 9 iron. I've never been 100% sure why, but I find a way to work through/around it. This morning I went to the range hoping these tips worked but accepted the fact that I might cancel today's round of golf if Paul's video wasn't "the fix". Hit the ball great at the range and didn't once consider that I might shank one on the course. I now know the root of the problem and it actually helped me hit the ball even more solidly due to improved posture and proper weight balance, Thank you very much!👍👍

@paulwilsongolf Год назад

Glad you found me. I can fix swings in minutes. Been doing so since 1991. So as much as there are other fixes for shanks out there they don't work. I once fixed a guy in 5 mins who took 10 lessons on how to fix it that never worked. This is so simple but such a scary shot when you don't know "why." Please remember this tip for the future. We don't want them ever coming back.

@bobheney Год назад

@@paulwilsongolf First time ever that I understood why a shank happens...my posture and weight distribution. I don't foresee this being an issue ever again. I purchased your BODY SWING series yesterday. Looking at a recent video of mine, my hip rotation was there, but way too late. Worked on that this morning and I was hitting the ball 240+ with what felt like a lesser (easier) swing. Incorporating the wrist hinging drills and speeding up the hip rotation and I can see no reason that 250-260 drives are in my future. Never thought having the shanks would end up being a blessing but finding your video and learning your process has been transformational after just 2 days. Thank You!

@paulwilsongolf Год назад

Thank you so much for your support. I appreciate it. Sounds like you are figuring it out. Loose wrists is a huge key for power. Please follow each lesson carefully and do daily practice swings. This is the fastest way to get it.

@kevmalakelley9949 3 года назад

I discovered Paul Wilson a few months ago and can not praise him enough. I have been playing for 25 yrs and became a 3 hdcp. Unfortunately I lost my swing and began watching hundreds of youtube vids etc...w no luck. I then found Paul. EVERYTHING he discusses is 100 % accurate especially when I comes to loose swing, hinging etc. Don't waste your time listening to other pros....this pro knows the swing.

@paulwilsongolf 3 года назад

Thank you so much. Good players like my stuff once they come on board. It is so simple plus you can fix your own swing. Isn't that what it's all about.

Very good. Glad you are learning it. Big things to come for you. Just do daily practice swings. Hit the positions. If so, you look like a tour pro. Then you hit it great. Literally grip and set up plus 4 positions. Someone told me they could do that years ago I would have been all over it.

I've been away from golf for a few years due to a biking accident,and decided to see if I could get my swing back before playing on a course. Well for a few weeks I've been struggling with a shank that humbled me since I'm a student of the game and a former 10 handicapper. I tried your weight distribution idea yesterday and voila,no more shank plus I'm hitting my irons much better. Thank you so much !

@paulwilsongolf 3 месяца назад

So glad you found me. Shanking is not fun. When people take a break then will wander up to a ball bent over too much. This is because this takes zero effort and doesn't put your body under stress. Doing a more athletic set up takes you physically doing it and there is a little stress. Plus, the taking a break gets you hitting with the arms when you get back into it because human nature is telling you to hit the object sitting in front of you. When you hit this can lean you forward as well and you get the shanks. So keep doing the more athletic set up. Then keep the arms relaxed as you use your legs and hips to hit the ball. Let's get you to a single digit this season. Easy to do.

Paul is the absolute best. Sensible, concise, no conceit - he understands well, explains well and obviously means well - that players improve their game. Half a dozen other videos from well-known coaches were useless; in addition to the solution (which works), Paul explains the how and why, which are essential to a proper fix. It also improved my ball striking.

@paulwilsongolf 14 дней назад

It sure is. I have been there in the 10 years it took me to get my swing back after taking lessons so I know what people are going through. If you have never gone through this how can you relate? I am a nice guy but 34 years of people not listening or trying to prove me wrong has taken it's toll. I want people to get this so bad so when they don't listen it's tough. Knowing this I try to dumb it down more and more so eventually it is so simple people try it. I will keep doing what I do and one day maybe everyone is talking about not hitting with the arms. I do see more and more teachers are stealing my stuff so maybe they are realizing I might just be onto something.

@anthonyat2401 14 дней назад

@@paulwilsongolf "I want people to get this so bad" is so evident from your videos. Your enthusiasm and conviction are impressive. That frustration mirrors some historical characters, such as Ignaz Semmelweis - who knew that hand-washing in hospitals saved lives - the medical establishment "knew better" (germs were unknown) - which drove him literally, mad. I have noted people "borrowing" from your system and advice. I do have your course, so may drop you a line via the contact messages. No need to reply. Was never able to use the real-time coaching connection but maybe I will get around to seeing you, LV and monument valley sometime next year, Paul. : )

@chriscox4613 Год назад

I am 6’4” and this provided an instant fix. It’s so counter intuitive that when you’re making contact on the inside of your club that you SHOULD NOT stand further away (because that increases the forward lean even more). I started standing a little closer to the ball with the more upright club tilt and my shanks stopped immediately. Great video.

Well paul if you'd seen me 48hrs ago in my garden in west cork Ireland you would have seen a pathetic wreck of a man. I was pure shanking 7 of 10 shots and miss hitting the other 3. No matter what I tried I could not get out of it. So I turned to RU-vid for some inspiration. I watched yr video about stand tall with the short iron and liked the simplicity Next day I hit 100 plus 50 to 60yd pitches and no shank. This sounds like I'm being paid to say this but check me out I'm a 12 index golfer who can play a bit but was falling down a slippery slope . So for now thanks for the free advice on my shanks . I actually hit a couple of longer shots using your 90 to 90 method and creamed both with an 8 iron. Solid contact shots. I nearly cried.

Hey Paul, Starting shanking my irons almost two years ago. I had given up playing all together and only came out for Best Ball tourneys that I was invited to for hitting bombs off the tee...lol. Last game i played was back in October and lost almost 20 balls from shanking and with a ball speed around 165 - it was dangerous to be on the course. Watched this video after a friend sent it and to be honest had no expectations on a fix. Simple weight shift and my swing felt stable even practicing in the garage. Played last week and was blown away. Irons were crisp and yardage was dead on. Lost one ball after an aggressive line on a drive but that was it. Absolutely amazing. I owe ya a tab on the 19th bud.

Only had two shots shank across all 18 holes, and both of those times I felt exactly where my weight was incorrectly distributed.

That's great. I tell people to only follow one pro. If it's me that's great. If it's someone else that's great too but you start following more than one teacher and you will get nowhere. We all see the swing differently. Thanks for choosing me.

Great tips, I’d like to add also that as a lifelong shanker, I finally realized that when I hit shanks I’m not rotating my hips. Almost all of my rotation is upper body, which I think is more common with shorter clubs. So for me, the easiest fix was just making sure I rotated at my waist rather than my chest/shoulders.

@paulwilsongolf Год назад

Glad you like them. Thanks. That would be arms which is leaning you forward. So turn to not hit with arms would work.

I love how you teach, real easy information to digest and use on the range or course. thanks again for the help!

@JoeyCapoMusic 9 месяцев назад

Was playing really well the past couple months. Shot 69 and 67 after two rounds. Than ended up taking two weeks off because of a rib strain. Went back out to the range and I started to develop the shanking nightmare. Like you said the swing would feel great but then to see a 40 yard shank had me so confused. Watched this video today before my round, went out and shot my lowest score of a 63! Never felt better and feel even more balanced throughout my swing. That heel to heel reminded me of the swing thought Ben Hogan talked about. Pretending your right leg is a screw and twisting it straight into the ground as you load up the power to hit the ball. This video is a much watch! Thanks for sharing Paul! Cheers 🙌🏼🍻

@@paulwilsongolf Thanks for checking out the music! Golf was my first passion to be honest. Started playing when I was 5 and did a lot of great things up to college. Went to try out as a walk on for my college team. Shot -9 after two days of playing. Ended up beating the captain of the team. However the coach said he wouldn’t start me until my junior year because I was taking the spotlight away from his scholarship player. Being 18 that kind of messed me up mentally. So I ended up quitting to than try returning a couple years later but that competitive edge was gone. So I started pursuing music. Moved to Cali 6 years ago for music. Hit slot of great milestones along the way. Two months ago I was asked to play a round with some friends. Went out and shot a 72 after not even touching a club for 8 years. But that passion I ended up suppressing for these years flooded me instantly. Feel like this was that full circle moment to be honest. All the things I been thru up to has molded my mind to be ready to do what I was born to do which is play golf at a professional level. So yeah I’m extremely serious in pursuing this again! That would be awesome to have you apart of this journey as well! Would love to talk more.

Shanking was largely what triggered me to quit golf about 15 years ago. I picked up playing again three years ago and found myself occasionally shanking, often at the end of the round. I looked at many videos, but yours was the one which held the cure! Stand up straighter! (and keeping weight in middle of feet). I'm 6'5" so had been tending to have my body weight over the ball. I've played three rounds now with no shanking and with better contact with my irons. Thank you.
