I have been hitting alot of shanks lately. I work out of them, but it gives me no confidence when I first go out to play. I worry about shanking it. Also I have been toppiong and also hitting my pitching wedge heavy alot lately. Can anyone help? Thanks Kelsey

An't this game grand. You got to leave the woories on the range and just play the game to be fun. In your set up place the toe of the club head more behind the ball. On your pitches put most of your weight foward. Most of all have fun it will come around.

Do you mean by toe more behind the ball not centering the clubface in the middle but more off the toe at setup? Thanks Kelsey

Yes, thats it. But you need to work on not coming over the top on your down swing. Try to take the club back on toe line and not to the inside so much. Good luck.
