Neither an AI or a swing guru, but this is my take:
You are probably standing to close to the ball & setting up on a hands-only plane. As you swing your arms extend. You then apply manipulation to get it back to the ball for impact, but do not quite get it there => shank.
The Golfing Machine is a great journey to take. Actually I feel TGM offers a few quick fixes, but they are not accessible (at least not through a text-based forum) unless you pick up some basic terminology.
TGM Permanent solution
Learn about flying wedges
Learn about extensor action
Learn about right forearm on clubshaft plane at address
Learn about right forearm pickup
1. Set your flying wedges
2. Let club fall down behind ball
- maintaining flying wedges & keeping right forearm on plane
- applying extensor action
3. Right forearm pickup
4. Swing to finish
Non-TGM Band-aid quickfix (will not help your game in the long run)
- Move away from the ball
and/or:
- Practice with putting a 2x4 parallell to target line & behind ball. You will refrain from hitting it & thus refrain from shanks.
-
I would encourage seeing an Authorized Instructor and combine that with digesting information available on the web.
