My advice is to see a PGA Pro in your area to get it sorted.

A couple quick tips that may help

Make sure you're not standing too far from the ball. Take your address position and then close your eyes, get comfortable but feel the balance in your feet as being in your instep, so your spikes under your heels are gripping the ground as much as the spikes under your toes, open your eyes and see where the clubface is and that is approx where you should have the ball at address. If you can check your address position in a mirror, stand as if you were hitting away from the mirror, the back of your shoulder should be approx above your knees and the instep of your feet.
Make a few practice swings with your eyes closed, making sure there is nothing nearby that can be hit. This will give you an appreciation of how your balance moves in your swing. Problems usually occur when you go onto the front of your lead foot on the through swing, pushing your swing arc away from your body amongst other things.

Another thing that could be a cause and worth checking is your clubface angle at P2 (clubshaft parallel to the ground in the early part of the backswing). Closed clubface, if the clubface is still facing the ground, tends to pull the lead shoulder down towards the ball and moving your balance onto the fronts of your feet.


hope you get them sorted soon, if you want any specific advice please feel free to PM me.

I had a dose of these a few months back.

Started off as only a range occurance, then they followed me onto the course.

Luckily they went away as quickly as they came.

Another vote to going to see a pro, only a pro will tell you EXACTLY why they are happening in your swing.

I had them badly a few years ago and tried to,play throu it but it got worse, pro fixed me in 1 session easily.

LOL this thread made me laugh. I was on the driving range at my club a couple of weeks ago and shanked 25 out of 30 balls before I tee'd off, went out and shot 42 points with 2 blobs

In 1994 I shanked 3 buckets of range balls, all 300 of the feckers! I was clearly trying to use them all up I was determined to figure out a fix..... and then the range closed


Might shank the occasional ball at the range whilst either warming up or trying something new.
