Played a round this afternoon and shanks were in abundance.
Pulled it together near the end but a frustrating day. An nice side effect to the practice was a marked improvement in pitching/chipping and putting. Basic motion routine seems to paying off wrt the short game, gotta keep plugging away I guess.
This is what happens to me if I mix a Startup Swivel with too much Extensor Action.....I end up Hitting in the downswing. No good with that open of a clubface.
It's not the only way to shank....as it's been said before....but it's a common way.
If I wanna open the face like that.....I try for a real SWING.....like little Ex. Action.....Double Shift.....basically a STT.
If I use Single LWAction....i.e. no Swivel in backswing.....I use more Extensor Action....Trace more on-Plane...and Hit.
Dunno works for me.....thought I'd share.
...
Shanks are damn frustrating.....there's nothing else in golf that angers me more than the moment I see the ball rocket off to the right....literally.....makes me want to punch myself in the face.....makes me friggen ENRAGED!!! YARRRGH!GHGARHAG!
Really does make me angry.
