Re: Developing the shanks!!

A shank is a stroke where the ball is struck by the hosel instead of the centre of the club face. I read recently in a golfing web page somewhere that a shank should be looked at as a very good swing only an inch or so off target.

The suggested cure was to get a big cardboard box (big enough so as when you take your swing you do not strike the leading edge of the box) and put that on the ground on about 3" away from the ball and go ahead and hit the ball hithout hitting the box.

Simplistic, but worth a try...???

If I can recall the link to the page (might have been a Pelz page actually) I will post it...

Cheers
