early extension shanking

[garyinderry]

A week is a long time in golf. Felt like pulling my hair out last Sunday and this week I am back hitting as good as I ever have. Still lots to do.

Sent my mate a video of me hitting a few irons and he sent this back. Pretty cool.

The shanks can be so frustrating and seem more common as the hc falls. I find that they are normally caused by getting my weight stuck on the back foot and not getting back through or being too mach on the inside on takeaway.

The easiest way for me to clear this is to set up with a range bucket outside the ball, leaving just enough room to take the ball away without the toe clipping the bucket, hit 50 balls like that and it's fixed.

If forces me to get my weight through, hips turning and my upper turning only my left foot.

This a drill I did when I was hitting a few shanks, it can get a few a strange looks if somebody's in the next bay

That is genius. will try that next time. I will bring an old 7 iron as my flat swing will definitely hit that wall. :thup:
