Bad Night at the Range

[stevek1969]

Went to the range tonight with gcd,i reckon the first 20 balls i hit were all shanks right thru my irons,i've maybe hit one or two over the years but never that many in a row it was a total mare.

When i stopped hitting the dreaded shot i was hitting the ball miles in the air and it went no place ,another thing i've never had is a ball flight that high.

The best bit was hitting the R11 gcd got from Auchterlonies as a demo hit some beletrs with it even we couldn't adjust it due to the way it was taped up,noticed he was hitting it really well might be new irons and a driver for him

,Ian we live and hope Boss Man Mike is on the case.

Blimey , you could have bought one, got bored with it, sold it and bought a proper driver by now...

I would just put it down to a bad night, next time the ball will fly better,just dont think too much about the night!!

It is a proper driver Ian i can assure you of that,once i get mine Dustin Johnson eat your heart out . I think its a Marmite club you either like or you don't ,i like it.In saying that the 910 is a cracking looking club and is getting good reviews but is it just hype.

Cheers James,once i hit the first few it was in the head and i kept hitting them.I thought i was making my normal swing but obviously not.

If it helps they say a shank is close to a perfect strike!


I had an issue couple years back, my alignment was out, the pro at the gc gave me quick free lesson and told me to deliberately hit a shank! I couldnt, he got me lined up and happy days!

One off for you mate, dont even worry bout it...

Its a shot i've never really had an issue with maybe the odd one or two but nearly every one my head was scrambled . Think i'll put it down to experience , i've worked hard on my game over the winter in all weathers and didn't see that coming at all.

You did the exact same thing I did on Tuesday night! I could have cried when I got home after shanking 20 out of the last 30 balls!

I have only started shanking since my pro has started getting me to try and turn my hips more. I do not think I have the strength there to control it yet(who exercises their hips?)therefore I loose control. I have good strength in my arms and back as well as my legs so I can control a more arms and shoulder based swing.

I have a lesson booked, I know my pro will understand, he know how well I can hit balls and I bet he will fix me in under a minute, he usually does!

Myt swing is rubbish at the moment. Not sure what is happening on the way back, either too steep or too flat. The contact isn't great and when I do hit down and compress it properly its going sharp left. Think a lesson may sort me. It doesn't actually feel too far from being good at times and other times it feels so uncoordinated it just isn't funny
