Cure the shanks

The shanks aren't bad luck. They're a signal, and a PGA Instructor can read it.

Few things in golf are scarier than the shanks, and they're almost always a chronic root issue rather than a one-off. Upload your swing and a PGA Instructor finds what's really sending it off the hosel, before it spreads to the rest of your game.

Voice-over

Note 01Sound familiar?

The shanks are equal parts mechanical and mental. Random online fixes tend to just move the miss somewhere new.

  • “The shanks popped up out of nowhere and almost made me quit the game.”
  • “One shank and I'm scared to swing for the rest of the round.”
  • “I can't trust my wedges anymore.”
  • “Every online fix I try just moves the problem somewhere else.”

  1. 01

    Film the club that's shanking

    Usually wedges and short irons. Face-on plus down-the-line gives your PGA Instructor the full picture of where the strike is going wrong. Film at the range, a simulator, or the course.
  2. 02

    A PGA Instructor finds why

    Standing too close, weight too far forward, an out-to-in path, the hosel finding the ball. A PGA Instructor identifies the actual cause instead of guessing.
  3. 03

    A confidence-rebuilding drill

    A specific drill to move the strike back to the center of the face, and a PGA Instructor to confirm the shanks are gone for good.

Why a PGA Instructor beats a panic Google search

  • An instructor who's seen it before

    The shanks are too personal for a generic answer. A PGA Instructor who's cured them before finds your specific cause.

  • Root cause, not a band-aid

    We chase the one thing actually sending it off the hosel, so the fix holds instead of moving the miss.

  • Rebuild the confidence too

    A clear, trustworthy fix is what gets you swinging freely again. Re-submit and your PGA Instructor confirms it's gone.

Note 02Common questions

Cure the shanks — FAQ

Sudden shanks are usually a chronic setup or path issue surfacing, not random. A PGA Instructor reviews your video and identifies the specific cause so you can stop guessing.

The one that's shanking, usually a wedge or short iron. Film both face-on and down-the-line so your PGA Instructor can see exactly where the strike is going off.

Within hours, and usually sooner. When the shanks are wrecking your rounds, you don't want to wait days.

Send another swing. Send it to the same PGA Instructor and they pick up where they left off, confirm the fix is holding, or adjust it.
