A shank is also known as a "chili pepper", "ole stank bait" or "the willies" in our area!!!!!

Re: What is a shank?
I had the shanks bad last year. I broke the heads off two drivers last year on back to back holes. The second driver was my brother in laws.
I had a little over the top with a lunge move that was real hard on the hosel.

Not necessarily, it can also be due to just standing too close, or lunging from the top.

Re: What is a shank?
Amazingly, when you did shank with the iron the ball flew right! But with the driver it flew left.
