Try hitting (i.e. thinking of) the ball with the toe of the club face. This will force the ball away from the hosel. It works for me. Good luck --Previous Message-- : I'm having the exact same problem and just when : I think I've rid myself of this terrible : shot, it comes back. I've consulted with : a pro and I've been able to work it out on : the driving range and it seems to come : back during my rounds. According to the : pro, balance is the key to the golf swing. : Without the proper balance at address, : the swing can be jeopardized. Try : shifting your weight forward so your : weight is off your heels and more toward : the front of your feet. Extending your : arms and shoulders forward toward the ball : can also help promote the right balance on : your feet. GOOD LUCK and let me know if : you get any other tips that work. : --Previous Message-- : I'm a 10 handicap, and have occasional shanks : that ruin some of my rounds. Once i start : shanking i get bad thoughts in my head and : i cant get rid of them. It seems like i'm : hitting it off the hosel of the club. Any : advice on how to get out of this terrible : feeling? : : :
