If you are shanking the golf ball it’s one of the most frustrating shots in golf hits right on the inside goes at of right angles and you’re playing catchup for the rest of the hole so in this video it is all about helping you in the easiest way possible to never shank that

Golf ball again with special guests olle Tucker and myself we’re going to show you the one exercise that you need to do next time you’re down at the range to never shank the golf ball again let’s get stuck in okay mate we’re going to look at strike

Location we can see that one there this is center of the face little bit high and off the toe now down on the ground we had a tea set up what would this tea be used for I’m just a visual thing really to try to encourage the player to

Keep the club nearer them for whatever reason and have the club strike the ball like done there a little bit nearer the toe if they had been shanking it for again a number of reasons so you can hit the heal of the club and but that little visual ref

Um which I I really like giving players these sort of task or skill based things to do because if they come up with a movement that maybe corrects it in a efficient way you can use that feel that they’ve created themselves without me imposing a movement on them assuming they’re technically somewhere

Thereabouts yeah yeah yeah skill development uh you’ll find that technique will tend to follow the function of completing a drill such as this so for example let’s say I’m out there and I’m shanking shanking shanking we’re seeing a whole bunch of marks off the heel of the golf club there you

Could think of a plethora moves Sur the back swing of trying to drive the elbow in move the club head further behind but there are also so many ways that you can still shank it from there your arms could be too far behind your body then

They’ve got to play catch up so even though by this stage of the Swing the golf club feels a mile behind us yeah from there in that Split Second Coming Down all that can unravel so having that tea down there at the end of the day if I am swinging the

Golf club and I’m missing that te well then we’re going to tend to move that strike away from the heel and more towards the center if not the toe yeah and this is something where you have to you have to improve your Technique most gol as well

And everyone does work on that here with trapman you got the cameras people can spend a bit too much time looking for positions and checking numbers but and you would have seen it yourself goodlooking swings from maybe someone that hasn’t been planing so long or hasn’t developed the skill for maybe

Other sports as well yeah that cannot find the middle of the club and you’re there thinking that’s great I’d love to swing it like that yeah and then just not the awareness of the club head or the face angle or whatever it might be um and players miss out where you develop

Technique that will improve your golf we hope but it won’t improve your skill improving your skill working on your skill can also have a knock and affect to the technique so like you did there if you find a way to manufacture a swing to hit the toe you’re going to have to

Change XY Z in your swing but your focus is very much on the strike rather than a positional thing yeah and I would even tend to say it’s what’s more important having having perfect technique from the start of the takeaway to the top of the swing down to when the club shaft is

Parallel with the ground or having the perfect technique of striking the center in the face as the club makes its way through impact yeah and which one’s going to make it easy to get the ball started online with consistent speed that you can manage well it’s definitely

Going to be when we strike the center of the face a little bit more definely yeah so what are some common swing flaws that would encourage a heel strike that if we were to recreate right now and then I was to do this drill just as evidence of how valuable this drill is

Would then hit the tea so for example we’ll get back to that video in just a second but I just want to tell you quickly about my online training platform perform golf being a player myself and going through the struggles of working on my game all the way up to

Playing on tour I understand that nagging feeling that you’re putting work in that’s not actually making a difference to your swing and your goal golf game so that’s why I’ve created an all-encompassing membership covering every aspect of the game to help you FasTrack your progress and get you

Shooting lower scores it’s available on all the app stores and on the web the link is down below so sign up now experience the difference yourself let’s get back to the video uh I’ll start off I’m going to be a player that I don’t turn enough so my arms are going to lift

A lot right so I’m going to set up we can see the golf te is placed just outside the toe with the golf club let’s say I don’t turn enough my arms move independently then they are going to lift now from here if I swing down I have every ability right there

Just to clubber that tea right it’s going to be very hard for me from that position to come from the inside correct now what do we see players generally do here OE that try and hit the inside of the ball they don’t worry about their

Turn they try and do what well they got to get the club somehow behind them so we see often quite a lot of extension with the hips that way which does get the club Behind you but now you got face issue and you got low Point problems as

Well yeah so now this club just feels like it’s going straight Josel Maria at the ball face very open and we’re still going to hit the team definitely a chance here so that would be for the player who was trying to manufacturer a match up throughout their swing however

If I’m a player who simply just swings it too high with the hands cuz they’re not turning and after shot after shot after shot I’m trying to avoid that te you’ll find intuitively what is that player going to begin to do in the back swing to give themselves more room they

Normally give more room by getting that hip out of the way getting the shoulders round and that’s looking a lot better already yeah so now I have all the room without trying to manage something the0 25 of a second in the way down that is going to give me the space to collect

The center of the face what’s one more swing floor that would encourage a heel strike so we go the other way and rather than not turn enough we’ll say spinning a bit too early and Too Much from the top of the Swing okay so if you make a

Half decent back swing um where you might get to we see a lot of players that maybe don’t come laterally enough and they’ll go this way too early from the top and like you are there sort of on the back fill a little bit and any rotation from the top of the Swing

Throws the club out this way and like you can see there now that t in the heill is very much in play yeah big time Big Time so then this T Bean here intuitively for a lot of players what we will see them do is almost be more

Patient in the down swing isn’t it and with that patience it’s going to become a little bit more of a linear shift towards the target which does what to our arms OE so like you’re doing that very well it’s pulling the arms down or giving your arms time to fall in that

Space that you’ve created rather than losing that space and as soon as you go this way with the turn arms come out which one I keep like you’ve done there you’re back to Target for a fraction longer yeah to allow your arms to fall into that space that you’ve done in your

Back sping yeah very good and even though this is only just two of the many ways that you could come into impact and have the heel of the golf club hitting the uh the ball essentially both of these will get taken care of if you simply just do this te more

Yeah you certainly got um and even if your Technique is closer than the demos we’ve done there I think strike location awareness of where the head is and the face is so important for just improving the overall distance and like you said consistency of ball speed and flight

Yeah okay well let’s test me out one more give myself a bit of a buffer so I don’t make myself look like a fool set up to the ball my objective here is to focus on if anything exaggeration then I might even hit the toe of the golf club

Here and that was me someone who plays golf all day every day trying to hit it off the shiny part so I could avoid the tea so you can imagine if I was a Shanker then that ride there that’s certainly better than scooting right

Angles off the bush we use this a lot if you haven’t got the face spray like people do use we use this a lot and like you’ve done there can you hit outside the grooves on the toe of the club and they go for that and they’ll generally

Find the middle and I’ve seen people where you might encourage them if you set up behind the ball again for me yeah and address it and on a practice swing can you miss it and take a divit on the inside yeah yeah yeah and that’s good

Player easy for you to do yeah I see people middle it like that or even catch toe so I don’t stand here often yeah but using trapman or using the face spray uh even a more skillful player like yourself we can start to shift around can you go right a smaller amount out

The hill so a centimeter to the toe and then find the middle mhm so that awareness really helps player deliver it uh more consistently to the center of the strike yeah and at the end of the day that golf ball only really cares regardless of how you’re doing it how

This golf club is coming into play if we can strike the center of the club face more often through doing a drill like this is going to make the game a hell of a lot easier thanks man Midle
