I can't explain it, it just happens.

I have the rest of the night to try and erase that word from my mind.

Seriously, thanks for the post MT.

the shank is the scariest thing in golf. When you get up there and have no idea if it's going straight, or straight right, it makes for a frustrating day.

I used to have a shanking problem. I tried everything and nothing really worked... then i decided to stand a bit farther from the ball. And it worked.

It was almost too easy an answer, but during set up after I figured it out, I had the butt of the club about an inch from by wang. Now I have no problem's with shanking.

Get in golf position, hang your left hand completely limp, (if you're right-handed) straight down. That's where it should be. Set up, and hit it without any swing thought.

Side note, it's amazing how much simple fundamentals have to do with a golf swing. Anytime I have a problem, i check stance, grip, ball position, etc. 95% of the time, there's something wrong with one of these.
