I cant hit a wedge from a 100 in. I get close, I shank, I back up and reach, I still shank. I did find that if I took my right hand off the club the shank went away, but I cant go out and play one handed. I need some help here.

Shanking is normally caused by hitting out to in so that you pull the hozel into the ball. Try hitting some balls with your feet together, you will probably not shank as it's hard to hit out to in when stood this way.
Take a range basket with a driver head cover held under the handle and hanging down the front of the basket, place it around one foot to the right of the ball so the head cover is just in line with the back of the ball. Now swing at the ball so that you do not hit the head cover. This will promote an inside approach and your shanks will almost certainly go, keep practising this and say goodbye to them.
Or:
keep on shanking
