May: How to Hit a Shank
​
A shank definition - "A shank in golf refers to a shot where the ball is struck by the hosel of the club, resulting in a shot that travels almost perpendicular to the intended target line."
​
There are endless causes to a shank. It could be swing path, setup, clubface, grip, etc. If you have played enough golf you are gonna hit a shank or at least a couple. There is nothing wrong with that, it is inevitable. But if a shank starts to become more regular, than it is important to find the root of the cause. It is important to know how you as a golfer hit a shank, so you know how to avoid it.
​
So if you are struggling with the shanks, try to find the root problem and understand the anatomy of your shank, so you can avoid it.

If nothing is working you can always call us and book a lesson! Happy May!
