Keeping the right heel down saved my golf swing. The harder I worked on starting the swing from the bottom up and making a full turn the more I shanked. I shanked even when I started with the toe of the club at the ball at address. I had given up. Then I tried to keep my heel down to impact. I could not believe it. Perfect easy contact, Much fuller turn and I finished much taller in extension. Thanks Again.
I started to shank a few days ago out of the blue. No idea why. I watched countless RUclips videos and tried many drills of which none of them worked. It started to impact me mentally, not gonna lie. Then I came across your video…. and man o man!!!! I cannot thank you enough!!!!! Your advice #1 seemed to have fixed my shank. Not only i understood the root cause of the problem (lifting my heel in my downswing) but I also understood why I started doing it. I was working on improving my swing speed the past couple of weeks, and turns out I got into that bad habit of lifting my heel to somewhat push with my toes to rotate faster… Man, I’m glad I came across your video!!!! If not, I’m sure I would have destroyed my swing trying to fix something that had nothing to do with the issue itself. I’m back to flushing my balls again. What a relief! Definitely worth a follow and a like! Thanks again!
Saved my game after doing about 30 shanks at the range, Reasons 1 and 2 were new to me and I’m convinced focusing on those made the difference. Thank you
Old video I know, but man that first tip is what saved me. Been through about every tip I could find to stop shanking and could not fix it, no matter what swing correction or fix I did. It's difficult to catch the knee and heel lifting towards the ball on video and even in slow mo...it just looks like you are making a normal turn. Keeping my heel down through impact has me back to hitting middle to toe side of the club if anything. What really made it click for me is watching Tiger hit pitch and chip shots. His back heel never leaves the ground.
Followed the first drill and it worked. You have just saved me a lot of time because no one figured out what's going on with my golf swing for years until I saw your video. So thank you
I am currently “shankzilla” and it is driving me crazy. I will give these tips a try at the range Sunday. I am a new subscriber because of this video. Thanks
Hey mate so I’m around a 6 handicap and have been going to a golf coach which has helped and destroyed my game to the point of major frustration. My new swing has caused me to shank the ball like crazy. I found this video and did the standing on the wedge drill and OMG it worked like a charm. What I did was actually keep my foot on the club even after impact to be sure I was swinging through it and how on earth did I gain 15-20 yards in distance?! I was loosing so much power hitting my 7 iron 150 but with this drill 170-175?!?! I’d love any feedback. Great video.
Just want to say thank you for that. I hit balls the other evening before my round the next day and I sh""ked the last ten balls and range closed. I panic watched this video that night and hit balls before my round. I used your number 1 tip and never hit one stray. This move is also something that has plagued me in that I slip into it without knowing and things go bad. It's super easy to implement.
Filmed myself shanking the ball and my left heel is lifting and my hips are pushing towards the ball. Thanks for giving me something to work on. Great video
Gonna try this mate as I struggle consistently with shanking the golf ball, to the point where I didn't play for over 10 years and now back playing its soul destroying
Always had a recurring problem with shanking but recently it came back with a vengeance, and I almost quit the game. Spent hundreds on lessons and neither of the 2 pros mentioned my heel may be lifting too early in my swing. I tried your fix at the range today and to my utter amazement it reduced my shanks to about 2 or 3 out of 75 balls. Previously I was shanking 60 - 65 out of 70! A huge thank you for this tip and I`ll be testing this on the course tomorrow morning. You are a saviour! (PS, I`ll post again tomorrow with an update)
My version of shanking is similar to #1. Weight shifting forward onto my toes, thus moving the club path farther away and allowing hosel contact. My shank divots are perfectly square.
brilliant!!! your the best on youtube..most teachers just repeat. the same old butch harmon tips that dont make sense and of course dont work..ps..posters here need to also focus on your keeping the right arm bent tip.
Hello, Greetings from Toronto! Love your vids. I was just wondering what Kind of netting do you have on your golf cage I'm planning o build one for myself. Thank you :D
For those who don’t play and don’t know the feeling of hitting a shank… well, just imagine you being on staged and you accidentally fart into the microphone. It’ feels bad!
Shanking with chipping/pitch shots is usually caused by the hands/arms disconnecting from the body in the takeaway. Keep the hands moving closer to your lower body 👍🏼
Golf is a frustrating game, along with being the best in the world, the way to get better is to practice what you’re struggling with. Step by step, phase by phase, there’s no other way.
It’s weird I just got new wedges and I am a pretty good player but I would hit 15 good flighted wedges then I would hit 10 shanks in a row they felt like the same swing. Golf is a very weird sport
I went to the US Open in 2007 at Oakmont, Pennsylvania, and saw Tiger Woods shank one off the tee. Even the best do it. It's still horrible when it happens.
I literally do all three. The thing is, I’ve been knowing I do all three as well but my brain forgets in my swing lol. I know the standing on the wedge will work

Amazing distance gain! More efficient of a movement will unleash your distance potential 🤙🏻
@@jchowngolf awesome thanks!!
Dude!!! I did the exact same thing!!!! Never once shanked the ball EVER until my lesson. Totally destroyed me. This video may save me haha.

Great video - major shank problem at the mo - never considered the right heel lifting - will try the club head under the heel drill tomorrow.
Cheers
I have been shanking the ball all day. I could not figure it out. It was my right knee. Thank you so much !👍
Great visuals to correct faults and drills to work on!! Thanks :-)
Cheers Kenneth! 🤙🏻
Very good information which makes complete sense
Filmed myself shanking the ball and my left heel is lifting and my hips are pushing towards the ball. Thanks for giving me something to work on. Great video
Love these pointers… thanks!
Good video! Thanks for the tips!

Gonna try this mate as I struggle consistently with shanking the golf ball, to the point where I didn't play for over 10 years and now back playing its soul destroying
Great Tips...think, the first one help me👍

Lol, nice shank bruv! Thanks for last nights lesson. Much better at the range today like you said it would be.
Haha thanks mate, right out the centre of the hosel 😂 My pleasure mate, good to hear! The brain is a crazy thing when it comes to learning 🔥

This helped a lot, shank was gone as soon as I kept my right side quiet for my wedges
Thank you for this lesson, have started to do this recently and it ruins my game. Playing tomorrow and hope to report good news.
Good show, good to know. They happen to us all...
I think I do all three faults. LOL
Thanks for the videos. Great tuition
Haha definitely not uncommon. Thanks Graham! 👍🏼

Thanks for the help !!!
Even the word “shank” sends shivers thru me. Horrible shot. Good video cheers 👍
Me and you both! Thanks bud! 🤙🏻
Nice one!
Excellent

I have trouble shanking short shots and chips any ideas why and a fix ?
Shanking with chipping/pitch shots is usually caused by the hands/arms disconnecting from the body in the takeaway. Keep the hands moving closer to your lower body 👍🏼
@@jchowngolf Thanks JC, in practise I am great but get very yippy when it counts on the course same with putting. Very frustrating.
dude what is that cage you have? Do you ever hit the poles?

Absolutely, happens to everyone! Even Tiger 😱
Why don’t you swing through the target and not at the ball shank gone
#1 fixed my shank. Butch Harmon and Hank Haney didn't help!
😀👍
Thanks Milorad! 🔥
Good to see the subscribers going up.
Well deserved from all your hard work and articulate videos.
Thanks bud! I’m looking forward to the journey ahead 🤙🏻
I literally do all three. The thing is, I’ve been knowing I do all three as well but my brain forgets in my swing lol. I know the standing on the wedge will work
I am definitely doing 1 and 2 here......thisbis going to take some work lol
