Why are YOU shanking?

If you’ve ever hit that dreaded shank, you know how painful it feels. In this video, I’m going to show you why you shank the golf ball and give you simple, repeatable fixes that will stop it for good. Whether you’re a serial shanker or just catching the occasional hosel, I’ll walk you through what’s really happening and how to fix your strike, weight, rotation, and setup so you can hit the middle of the club again.

I show how I adjust my stance for every club so my setup stays consistent — and shanks are gone for good.

Find your low point and position the ball just before it.
Avoid letting the club slide out on mats or hard ground.
