Always a GD shank. 

I, for one, would be interested in seeing the most famous shot on TST on camera. I'm not even joking. You might as well have some fun with it. And as you know, around here.. we share.

I would say that’s unlikely being that it’s literally immediate. I hit a ball with the two ball then switch immediately. I actually once entertained my instructor by going back and fourth with about 10 balls using two balls, one ball, etc. I literally alternated my shanks to perfect rhythm. 

Put your phone (or headcover for less expensive-ness) just outside the ball. If you shank, you hit the phone. Would be a good reason to hit a good one. 😉

Whenever I’m playing with @Double Mocha Man, he gets a few shots that we say he vinsk-ed it instead of shanked it. 😂

In my defense, over almost 2 years, Phil has only seen me vinsk it once.  But it was a doozy...

That could backfire on you.  “Nuts! Now I’ve got to upgrade to the new phone I couldn’t really justify but now I have to.”

It’s certainly quite hyped up, though to be perfectly honest I played two rounds with @Vinsk and I can’t recall seeing a single one.

Doesn’t everybody say that?

Our round at Dave’s course. First tee, second shot was a cold shank.

Wow.. so you shank little quarter bunts too.. And it is not deliberate??.. Amazing and maddening at the same time!

Yep. I had a previous rough session of shanks with mid irons, well all irons, so I thought I’d just work on nice short chips and that was the result. Prior to that I hit about 20 nice chips in a row using the two ball drill. That video was me trying without the other ball there. Maddening.

I’m sure I’m a lot of things in that clip.

Well, that's easy:

It's gonna be a combination of setup and swing stuff. But honestly the setup is going to do a lot of it.

I'm not over-confident, but… even in that little tiny swing, you can see some things. Your instincts. Your tendency. Your setup. 😄

Agree with Erik. Bunch of basic stuff at set up prolly. For example, golf clubs don't like to be shoved out towards the ball with that hammer strong trail hand grip.. etc.

I’m really looking forward to going to Erie.

I suggest going before they have 24” of snow on the ground.😀

Yeah….I’m going mid-October so maybe only 10-12” at that time….😃

My rant for the day is coming from a family comp we play few times per year(Gladly) ... I must say not very enjoyable as of late ..and I'm sure actually hurts my game ... got a Great Competition coming up early NOV $12k in prizes 114 players max 2 ball teams .... so been playing local Comps as much as I can to build up to the Comp...

Now playing on Sunday in my family Comp we had like 6x in total ..so 2x  3 balls .....  Me my 70yr old Aunt - same age as me 43yr cousin along with his two boys under 10yrs old in a cart ....

I played rough most of the round only 5x holes I was dialled in ... I think many factors together made it tough,,,

- my 70yr auntie was shanking it left right overall having a shocker ...

-my cousin that swears he only plays coupe times a year and doesn't have a HC so in the rules we give hime the 24HC he believes is about right ...yet gets Birdies, drives 280yards ,, chips in par etc end up 7 under HC .... and did much the same the last time we played WTF ???

-one of his 9yr sons also teeing off taking sometimes 2-3 swings trying to hit the ball ...the other boy running a muck in a cart ...

... and for some reason I couldn't play ... one point took me 3x chips to go 30yards  ... muti 3putts even one 4x putt ... lost by 15 shots ... I'm playing 2-3x per weeks + practice etc ...what a chump
