My Swing (jamiesmith900)

Help please I have very bad shank after playing very good can't hit a bat now:(

Get a set of left handed clubs and turn them around for a right handed shot. Impossible to shank this way. As far as real advice, get your left hip around and behind you sooner to create the space necessary for your arms and the club.

Jaime,

Put a box an inch outside the ball and just swing obviously avoid hitting the box both taking the club away and on the downswing. More importantly downswing. You are hitting it too close to the heel due to swing path issues. The box makes you take the right path. I have all the same issues as you do. The box drill is great.

thanks pal I will try, I have just been to range and hit all irons beautiful straight long high then out know after 20 balls full shanks God this is taking over my bloody life when I get them know Matter what I do they stay I will try the box or give the beloved game up:(

Maybe am not turning hips enough through impact

Not really. Again, check out the drill I posted earlier. Just from the pic, your weight is back and the club is swinging INward. You need to do the opposite, weight/hips forward and the hands forward. That will start moving the path more OUTward.

I'll also add this

Do this drill

[jamiesmith900]

Mvmac thanks this sounds very good as when I finish my swing it feels like weight is still on back foot a little this makes sense

Thanks a million everyone

Thanks for tips and info but it's went from bad to horrific now shanking every single shot even slow easy chip shots are along the ground to the right in exactly same place every time I just can't work it out the feeling through club is awful vibration and its smacking face closed on impact so club is turning in my hands upon strike any help or advice would be super as am on verge of packing in after being a 16 handicap to this omg :(:(

Took a look at your swing again. First thing I would do is get the eyes down more. Your eyes are too high and this causes your head to dip down at the start of the downswing. This starts to steepen the shaft, gets the club out at A6 and the handle swings left thru impact.

Also take a look at this post again. Do that hips pre-set drill and feel the handle raise and move out to the right.
