A little touch of the Shermans?

[patricks148]

Had a wee touch of the Sherman around Blairgowrie yesterday and speaking to the guys during the round about having a ball under your left heel drill.

Well it works on a range ok but what would you do during a round?

Was walking the dog tonight and took a pw and a handful of balls along the beach with me.

I tried lifting my left heel at the start of my back swing and it works!!!!

I even tried by best to hosel one but each time the ball came out the middle of the club.

Not saying this is any long term fix but well worth trying it and doing it if you find yourself with a bad case during a round.

Big Bomber as I'm sure you noticed lifts his left heel on his back swing and many pros do it also, if it's working buddy then stick with it a bit

Where do they come from? Been playing good just lately but then.........during a friendly knock, stood in the middle of the 6th fairway 1 under and wham. Pure shank with an 8 iron which cost me a shot. After that it was back to normal.

It's going around at the moment Patrick, it seems the time of year for it.

You'll work through it though :thup:

I managed one on Sunday,not had one for years then woosh a 56 degree wedge went off!!

It was a beauty too,had the full side spin on it and was practically going backwards as it scampered along the floor.I really don't think I could produce the shot again if i tried all week!!

One of golf's strange quirks is that it is almost impossible to deliberately hit a schh...
Maybe that is the cure.

As daft as it sounds, for me it is... address the ball with the hozel... Shanks-B-gone

I did it in the middle of a club match, then played some stellar golf and we won 5&4

It was just one shot in one round, happens to all of us. It is just much more weight is put on it as opposed to a hook or a top. We should treat all these misshits the same mentally. Sadly if you hit a fat shot you accept it, if you sherman you consider selling your clubs!
