Good advice but I think that you will save a lot of frustration by taking a lesson(s).. why? because a second set of eyes is needed to pinpoint exactly what YOU are doing incorrectly. There are several variables involved here and what you do to cause a shank could differ from another golfer with a similar problem

Pincing the club too hard with the right hand thumb & index finger also causes a shank…

I saw this guy at the Troubadour. He was awesome.

I agree with this. I have really been working on my swing lately and what i do is I start my swing from the ground up. I start turning my hips first and let gravity and my body rotation bring my arms down and it has proven very consistent for me.

no, we’re trying to NOT come through impact with an open face. DUHHHHH

are you people retarded? a shank is not a slice. jesus christ.
May 6th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
a shank is NOT the same as a slice dumbass
May 6th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
ANYTHING beats a SHANK !!! So just try this and see if it works for you. Also remember to finish with your belt buckle towards the target.

True his cure for a slice does work great but this.When you start doing extra movements in your golf swing your just asking for trouble.Best advice I ever got was this.Think only about keeping your left arm completly straight on backswing,then just think about turning your hips and let arms follow on the dowswing,nothing more like turning your hands and stuff

THIS IS BAD BAD BAD ADVICE
May 6th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
why people hatin on this, it is a good fix for the shank and does work. LOL at turn it over EEARRLLYY though
May 6th, 2010 at 7:04 pm
Nope
He just wants you to able to control your golfswing.
If you know how to turn a slice into a hook, you could also turn a hook into a slice, or choose to hit a ball straight

Make your shanks to the right (aka slice) into a nice hook? why would you want to go from slicing to hooking, they are the same thing in the opposite direction! Why don’t they just give tips on how to hit it relatively straighter.
May 6th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
LOL so we cure the slice and the shank by turning our right hand over earlyyyyyyyyy.
I’m sure this guy use to play 79-84-92 in the mini-tours and finish dead last most of the time b/c of his snap hooks. And now he has to make shitty video like this to feed his family.

Thanks for trying to help, but let me give you some advice. If I could turn my hands over at will I’d be able to work the ball anyway I want and wouldn’t be having my current problem of shanking the ball.
May 6th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
turn ur right hand over? are we trying to do a draw shot?
May 6th, 2010 at 9:07 pm
what an idiot…that is not the main reason people shank the golf ball. Its coming too far from the inside or standing too close to the ball.

Hí Golfers
Shank(=socket)problem came from a backswing who is to FLAT, it must be more upright!

See the Jimmy Ballard Video. Only one that knows what he is talking about. This guy has no clue.

Great tip, five star. I got the shanks in a tournament about five years ago and it still strikes FEAR in my mind……
May 6th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
