The ball flies violently right off the heel of the club face where it meets the shaft, a spot known as the hosel. Check our list to identify your possible faults:  Grip twisted too far to the left |
Aim: Face may be a little open. Grip: Hands twisted a bit too far left causing the face to open. Ball position: Might be too far back. Stance: Not normally a factor. Body alignment: Feet and shoulders aiming too far left. (See above).  Keep weight on heels |
Posture: Weight is usually positioned too much on the toes. Get on your heels. Swing: A shank is an exaggerated swing path. Either you're coming way too much from the inside or you're really chopping across it. Just check your divots. Golf coach tip: Put the weight on your heels, keep the clubface looking at ball for longer on the way back. Draw a black spot on the toe of the club and then as you're coming down try and hit it out of that spot.
