I've read some of these comments, but I tell you what, at 1:35 in the video, I have used that as my station set-up and I love it. Pierce and Andy always talk about giving the lower body a reason to move, and this really forces it for me. I feel as if if it really makes me start with the hips to clear out before anything else, and I have to keep the arms in on my body. Over the top...gone. It also makes my body very balanced at the follow through. This is the most stable I've ever been, and I can hold it forever. It starts becoming a game to see how close I can set the rod to my hands at address. A great drill.

[@deluxecustom]

And now for the hundredth fix for shanks. The best fix is to immediately throw the entire bag into the nearest pond.

[@CHUMPTYTRUMPTY]

Tossing only the irons will suffice.

[@mikemasson9575]

Could not stop shanking for about 2 months. It was Pier’s 60 second tip that finally cured them. I lined the ball up on the hosel at address and stared flushing my irons. Shot an 83 in my first round after and have got my confidence back finally. Thank you both and love your instructional videos.

[@wildcat8797]

This happens to me for a few weeks every other year… it’s baffling. I’ve been a down the middle consistent ball striking with drivers, hybrids, & irons all year long. All of a sudden last month my irons caught the 90’degree shanks. But I don’t ever practice outside of playing rounds. Handicap is 6 for my course.

[@mahea8825]

I feel your pain. Just finished at the range after developing a shank with my irons. Baffling!

[@extrememetaldrummer1]

Same with me

[@monkeybreeksjov9574]

Had 8 shanks in my last 6 holes. I cannot stop it - don't think I was "over the top". Tried to address ball at hosel but shanked even more. Hate Golf. Love Golf. Hate Golf. Love Golf et seq.

[@jazzforJamie]

Read my comments obove and try?

[@kangta13]

Try this, bend trunk enough to feel your weight on the ball of your feel, when you swing turn your chest through the shot, try it.. alot of the tips given to fix the shank dont fix it correctly or give the wrong reason for the cause. Think of it like a stick with a string on it and a ball attached. If too upright and spin fast the ball moves outward. If you bend forward and spin the club will stay in line; rotating trunk through the shot will help more

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

Same I feel very hot and cold about Golf. Love/Hate relationship

[@yankorusev]

How can you say, hit five lovely iron shots then have a nasty shank. Then relax your arms and swing and hit another two or three horrid shanks. Definitely love golf, hate golf, detest golf, slightly like it again, tentatively fall in love with golf again then hate it next shot. Practised to play in a club competition. Before hand played three of the best rounds of my life. I was first on the tee, never felt as confident in my life and then shanked and hacked my way around the course. Followed a 75 with a 98. NearlY ended up in an asylum. I blame Davidleadbetters damn beach ball drill. I am a basket case

[@robertjohnson7181]

Take a step back EZ

[@evans_avpsn8475]

Started golf up again about a month ago. had 4/5 lessons about 2 years ago, which helped me understand the basic swing movement stance so i could atleast hit a ball decently especially with my wedges. Came back and everything was going fine felt like i hadnt stopped playing.. Until a week ago i went up range and started hitting a few right.. didnt understand it.. then all of a sudden i hit all of them right and low... felt so angry and embarrased as the range was packed. Seriously my heart was broken lol Went home and researched what had happend and how id go it so wrong and so consistently wrong all of a sudden. I looked up how to stop shanks and the best thing i read was to place 2 tees one in front and one behind the ball to make sure you swing properly through it.. practiced swinging in garden and seemed like i was consistently doing ok.. went up range and out of about 100 balls i hit 90 straight and high! felt so good! Such a small thing had cured my shanks..

[@DavidTaylor-cm2rv]

Firstly love the videos and thank god for the internet as I live in Western Australia. My comment would be is that loads of people hit a shank shot, different degrees of shank with many not knowing they are! Place a tee just in front of ur ball, remove ball, then swing if you are taking your shot this instantly will show you if your swing or body movement is causing the club to move forward and producing a shank shot ( you hit the tee) I am now at the lowest handcap I have ever been (15.5) but out of no where a shank appeared!!! Until you know you are some how moving the club forward, then you will be able to correct it. My biggest tip is to mark ur ball and then check you club face to see if you are hitting out of the sweet spot, this will get you more distance and/or more accurate direction.

[@jennovices2170]

I like the video .. I've been plsying golf all my life and was even down to a 9 handicap, only just started playing again this weekend and I was shanking the ball left right and centre ... anyways i'll try the golf bag/club idea to keep my swing controlled ...... good job

[@ben-vf]

Hi, my story mirrors yours. How did things work out? Any help would be appreciated.

[@chrishoebich2021]

Very insightful as a good possible cure to the PLAGUE of my shanks (the bane of my game). Thank you!

[@zhongweiho1966]

Does tensing the muscle in your arms during the back swing make a better swing?

[@willstargate4381]

That worked! Question though? When do I go back to my original club setup/address at the ball? In other words when do I stop addressing the ball at the heel of the club? Will my ball strike change?

[@timkirwin7328]

How to get more consistent in putting? like high stance vs low stance, pendulum motion vs push motion. you guys make some great videos, keep it up!

[@jhornbec]

Great video. Wonderful explanation

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks John. Hope this was useful.

[@SmartBimson]

Hello Piers, Hello Andy, My biggest problem is that I'm to fast with the shoulders or the hips (I used to play tennis a lot and my problems remind me of a top spin in tennis somehow). The result is either I hit the ball and it flies straight but right from the target (when hips are to fast and my spine falls back, so I open the club face and slice) or when I try not to be to quick with the hips then I pull the ball and it flies right to left . Do you have a drill, so that I can fix my quick hip turn and have more consistent and straight hits ? Thanks a lot you two and greetings , Andy

[@renabremer1105]

How does playing with wet conditions (fairway and rough) change my playing routine? Change swing or club? How to react?

[@tylerreynolds9564]

Can a flatter lie angle cause the hosel to come into play? I switched from the Cobra S3 to the Ping i200 and got fitted for the first time. My clubs are now 1* flat. Could that be the reason I shank now or is it just fundamentals?

[@ianjarvis2420]

I love this series

[@nicksundstrom7341]

Here’s my fix - if they ever occur I purposely try and do it again. I’ve never been able to shank it when I try to.

[@CHUMPTYTRUMPTY]

And doing so produces an acceptable shot? How about posting an instructional video of it?

[@vincentngo4342]

Hi Piers and Andy, have you guys ever thought of playing on the tour one day?

[@Pdubya69GS]

Yea. It's up to them whether they want to play on tour or not. They choose to teach at the moment because they make a lot more money teaching. Me & all my friends could play on tour if we really wanted to also but we choose to stay at our jobs because it's much more rewarding.

[@frannygiovinazzo4461]

Most of my irons shots are dead straight but when I get into the lower irons, 6 and below, when I start to swing fully at the ball I have a slice of about 30 yards, any suggestions on what I can do to stop that slice?

[@theMANxGOLFER]

How can I fix low pull hooks with 3 wood or hybrid?

[@kyler_haughton2771]

Can you help with my hitting out of the sand

[@pulldpin67]

The best advice is.... in your swing and follow thru... make sure your trail leg doesn't go out towards the ball...keep it tilted and going towards the target!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FatherJoel]

I do the second type of shank. Thank goodness not so often. I just watched Henrik Stenson do one at the HSBC, so don't feel so bad.

[@meandmygolf.]

[@TheCardCollectingGuy]

Not positive if you guys have done a video on this, but can you show me a few drills for feet positioning when I'm aiming my shot? Just want to thank you guys. My golf game has come leaps and bounds since I've found your channel.

[@cole1404]

For me, I will hit shanks when I don't hinge my wrists enough. Another cause for me is when I shift weight from heels forward (thus promoting an over the top move I suppose). The lack of wrist hinge is the main culprit however. Probably sounds counter intuitive to most. To fix I try and get rid of tension and think full turn. It sometimes takes a few range sessions to get rid of and will usually come back once or twice a year and last a week or two.

[@notmenotme614]

1:44 another way is to address the ball at the heel like this and then try to deliberately whiff the ball on the inside

[@MrOwenagetv]

Why do you want to hit it in the rough. 😂

[@AI_MoneyMastery]

+Owen Davies cause I suck titties

[@golpher12]

For me they seem to show up when I have to much speed in the forward arm, not allowing the wrists and hands to fully release. As soon as you pull the handle down with the lead arm you should be allowing the club to release and move faster than your arms. For a more practical solution or quick fix, try to hit the ball between the center of the clubface and the toe. This will at least stop the bleeding if your playing and this ugly shot shows up.

[@nathancamrynlexyncl2228]

Thank you for telling me this. I shank it very rarely but when I do it's bad. I'm only 10.

[@jjs490]

RUBBISH pure and simple.. Mine had to do with first of all my weight was more towards my toes at address.... and I would shift my weight on the back swing toward my right toe which set me up to be way out of balance. so at the start of the downswing I was on my toes and shanked every so often. It made me not want to play golf I was always playing golf defensively on the course. So for me I make sure I feel my weight coming straight down right on top of my ankles not the balls of my feet but between the balls and the heels which helps me stay off my toes , also at the top of my swing I was trying to shift my weight too much and I got out towards my toes so now my instructor has me not shifting my weight at all which works for me I actually do shift my weight but it stays moving toward the target and not toward the ball which is a shank move for me.

[@rayleeaustralia]

Shank you very much 🙌

How to get hench as Andy Proudman

[@TomCooke1512]

If you're a decent player with a pretty neutral path but prone to the shanks, do Monte Sheinblum's 'no turn & cast' drill. Also search Be Better Golf on KZbin and watch all the videos with Monte from the last few months, I can't remember the last shank I had on the course.

[@jamminhunter]

How to fix the top off a driver

[@yankorusev]

This guy says, address the ball with the heel whilst butch Harmon says address the ball with the toe. Now I am baffled lol

[@CHUMPTYTRUMPTY]

So why does Butch Harmon suggest positioning the ball at the toe of the club? You're claiming the exact opposite will work. This does not compute, so what gives, mates?

[@dylanknight4752]

[@Labgorilla]

Head to the range and understand your swing

[@Nextup2012]

Teaching in 60 sec and learning in 60 sec are totally different. This 60 sec concept just feels rushed. Like, I didn't learn anything from this video, I was just given a temporary solution to fix my shank. Not taught the mechanics as to why I'm swinging over the top or shifing my weight. Your mission is not to teach me what to do in 60 seconds. Your mission is making me understand why I'm doing it, so I can learn how to fix it. Often, fixing problems like swinging over the top won't just fix one problem, like shanking, but it will also fix other problems like not being able to hit a straight shot with no side spin. P.S. I'm not blaming you guys, I'm just giving feedback telling you to look from our perspective.

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks for the feedback and totally understand. We have lots of other videos which are much more detailed if you want to really understand. We have had a few requests for some short videos like this and we are aware that for golfers like yourself who really want to learn, this may not appeal to you. We will only be doing one video like this per week and the others will be in much more detail.

[@johnnyharper7506]

please play par 5 on one leg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bravendave]

I thought they said they were going to show the golf bag drill? And showing us a perfect hit doesn't help.

[@jazzforJamie]

Hi Guys, You are try hard also to conwince yourself I think? I have had shank problems on and off for a long period of years, but last month I came to a final test and shanks days are over. This is what I did! I take my stance and place clubhead heal on middle of the ball, and just go for the shot and hit perfect shots, over and over! Why so easy for me? This ball placement on shaftside of clubhead increase my focus to be very, very Hi in backswing and therefore let me hit on sweetspot of club! Thanks Guys for trying, please try what I do and make a video on that for all KZbinrs golfers with shank problems! //Johnny D Bergh /PGA retired

[@anthonyat2401]

Useless. This is never going to permanently cure a shank. They don't seem to realise that it is all to do with perception. People rarely shank if they close their eyes. That means it's because they are trying to hit the ball with their hands - the hands that are on the shaft, not the club-head. One needs to change the mental picture of the club to ball and realise that the ball is offset from the shaft and the hands. When you fully appreciate that, you will focus on the right swing anyway. All the rest is just fluff and sticking plasters to mask the fundamental issue.
