Crazy shot almost off at right angles!!! Help.

That's crazy stuff......

I hit a couple last night in my garage, the ball coming off the cub at about 45 deg right, bounced past the hoover and smacked into the kids sledge, did it three more times before it disappeared........

I could have sworn that it was coming of the toe of the club or the rounded sole of the hybrid...

Good to know or recognise it as a shank and it's cure.....

Ps I'm not entirely mental, I was only hitting plastic wiffel balls

Shame. I just had a great mental picture of a golf ball pinging allover the place, and you trying to dodge it. LMAO.

i hit about 20 of these up the range a few weeks ago. To cure it, i simply stopped going to the range.

This is now my stock shot. This week I am hitting mainly shanks, with a few fats and thins thrown in just to confuse matters. Golf is done.

I've perfected the art of shanking too. My semi shank is still a work in progress but the full blown slice is coming on a treat. Making a nice bit of modern art with the ball marks on the side of the bay and wondering if its too late as a Turner pize entry

most common with wedges for me... little flat swings from the inside and wallop, 30ft chip ends up a shank... bugger.

I find if I'm at the range that if I 'warm up' with some chips I'll start shanking everything because I get really flat.

As a drill to fix the Top-Ranks, At the range place a high rubber tee in the mat. Place balls one inch (2.5 cm) inside the tee and hit the ball while missing the tee. You will soon work out what you need to do to fix the problem.
