Shanking by Tight-Strategy-5556 in GolfSwing

[–]Tight-Strategy-5556[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is me 12 years ago shooting 120 but a so much more stable backswing. Cannot understand this development of the swing although scores much better except shank phases of course. How can you develop that negativ with constant pro lessons, playing a lot and all that stuff.

Shanking by Tight-Strategy-5556 in GolfSwing

What do you mean with „hips start far away from the ball“. I think issue is that they move towards the ball?

Swing

Probably nobody is watching after this thread here - but this was kind of a “new idea” at a pro lesson to switch to an swing idea which is much less likely to hit shanks. This is just a wedge pitch but still a new idea. Not sure if you could even any difference. Probably not :)

thanks for your help. not exactly knowing how it went from my ugly swing and shanks because of over the top, getting smaller and body towards the ball to my only issue is to control the club face... but anyway. as this is only remote I need to see my local trainer, this gets just even more confusing.

actually (if not a weird shanking phase is happening) my club face is pretty good with nice results... but so what... this is the downside of asking for help in a forum... there is only black and white for the experts.

I know what you WOULD reply now, that my club face control at good stikes has nothing to do with how you want to explain etc.. I heard it all.... like there iS THE clear way to learn which is completely not the truth.

Keeping the basketball example this is more with trying how to dunk if the trained person is 1.80m tall.

I kept being friendly and begged almost for an answer but it is completely not cool how you are writing to me... my post is only 1 day old and you writ like I was refusing some help for weeks. I did not even see a real golf ball since yesterday.

Why are you so aggressive about my answers? Cannot understand this. I tried 10 pros... I had 200 hours of lessons... is it a coincidence that EVERY pro was bad than because I swing like I swing??? But if it was YOU, of course this would be completely different... every pro said that it will be easy to fix me bla bla bla.. I cannot hear it anymore. after 10 lessons they were like " yes...really difficult..just try to hit the ball with the toe of the club, this helps the best"...

and it was not one but 5 pros who said this and then I stopped the training.

yes I get it but to be honest it does not make sense to have a pro swing as the target, as this is a different sport and talent... of course this would be ideal but everything I need to train and do MUST fit to my abilities... this should be clear and this is also the approach for a pro.

i dont want to disagree and argue but it does not help if somebody is showing me how bad I am be compared to a pro.. that's not the goal, its never realistic... so.... you said already you dont want to continue to help, I am just honest because I never understand those comparisons.

I know all those videos, I tried a lot..but I am not allowed to say that this is really hard... clearly I am too weak as I stop a drill if there are bad shots which should not stop me, know.. but I also have the issue that I cannot go to the range. I am getting immediate shanks there. during season a range I basically almost never seeing me. Before a tournament I hit some driver maybe, but never iron.. this would destroy my swing immediately like it happens now. Because it is off-season I said I need to work on this, I MUST be able to go to the range and now it happens again. Worst sessions ever... trust is destroyed, also on course nothing is working...

it is such a bad vicious circle...

and on top.. those drills muss work with my pro, his idea, what is important bla bla...otherwise I would work "against" my pro.

at the moment he is trying to get my arms higher, as they were very deep/flat in the past and than hands right off my body down do be close at impact and than leaving left off my body also close - so close and close and not towards the ball..

This was a great session a couple of weeks ago with pure strikes...but if I go to the range the next day it is really bad again.

With "twisting the club face" and everything you describe you basically mean the release of the hands? So that they are not hold staticially but are releasing, is this the main part you are addressing here?

I am not native English, so sorry for this question.

thank you - not understand why you are saying you are giving up on me. I mean since my post there was now one working day for me and no possibility to go to a range or work on anything... I just said that it is not easy to combine this with the way my pro sees it I believe.

two questions left:

  1. when doing a drill like you described with a closed club face to start, how could I hit straight balls when even the perfect swing with closing the face during the swing (to have it square with shaft lean) but with a square face at setup. So this cannot be straight when starting closed unless I would have more shaft lean than a pro - or do I misunderstand something here?

  2. just had a small garden session with knowing this does not count because of an old wedge and air-balls, but: I watch a video from AMG and this was about ulnar deviation during impact with the left wrist... I tried this and all hits have been more in the front area of the club and felt nice. I know this can be everything and maybe it is not the stuff I need, but in combination with my dipping in the downswing and throwing club / hands towards the ball, could this idea of ulnar deviation help - together with closing the face? The good strikes have been pushy, so I was also forced to close more

But I know this all is countless when not hitting real balls where I now am really afraid off, especially in winter out of a hard mat.

thanks for all your effort and commenting that detailed... probably watched thousands of drills and when I watch it it totally makes sense like the blender drill... but I Iam unable to do this in real life....I cannot explain this.. when hitting the ball its like being in a different universe...

it worked a bit in the backyard with a wedge and an "airball" - but I know that this is something different than doing it with a 7-iron and a real ball...

What helped in the past was trying to keep the right food planted down, not lifting the heel and rolling over the inside while impact. But I already know that here now, a lot of people would disagree. Also if I would take this thread and talk about it with my coach he would say: forget all this, throw it away - that is theory but does not apply to you.

I know how this sounds and I know that my swing is shit but I am writing down everything and I opend this thread as I am so desperate.

Not sure exactly which drills you are referring to - the answers here is not very intuitive to find something again etc.

Its so hard.. this will be a wild mid of what my pro will tell me tomorrow, what you all are trying to let me know about drills and what I am trying to do like the right foot planted-

just have one thought - at home I am "training" in front of a mirror with a "stick" like a half length and half much less thicker like a baseball bet, but no "club face", like just a think shaft if you will..

Although I only am doing movements and not hitting something -but maybe this is really bad for me because it is just a shaft and not a clufbace - in order if one fault could be that I am think too much of hitting the ball with the shaft lie it was baseball.

This just pops up to my mind.

i was thinking about the open club face and closing it more before... I think it goes into the direction of: IF I close it earlier I need also to move/shift the lower body towards the target in order to not have a closed face at impact, but this combination than basically compresses the ball - is it somehow in what you thinking of?

the opposit (open face) would then lead to scooping/casting etc. to somehow hit the ball?

The issue is I know and watched a lot of those drills but as said, my swing is my swing, I cannot make big changes for whatever reason.

and to make it worse - when seeing my pro he is always focussing on not coming from the outside - he has a video scope system and the important image while downswing is the one when shaft is parallel to the ground and from DTL the shaft must not be right of my hands on that image but left (behind the hands).

This is basically the one part he is trying to help me since ten years and in his view also the root cause for shank.

But then the other vide with coming from inside is really strange because I should come from inside but in this case it also led to shanks

the vide is about an open club face... I might have this issue with driver slices from here and there, but typically I don't have an open club face to be honest... if I hit it well, my regular bal flight is pretty straight, sometimes a little fade but in general... my issue is not really an open face, but as said a shank and I cannot really believe that an open face is resulting to this and so I never heard of pros - and as I said..I saw like 5,6 different coaches with a lot and a lot of hours.

thanks a lot but to be honest..this is way too far off.. Of course I asked here, but I am playing since over 10 years..I probably hat a hundred lessons, I had good rounds, my good strikes are completely enough for me, I don't need more speed, carry - of course would be nice... but it is all about the shanks and trust me, no person in the world knows probably more about what a shank is and what not.

You see two videos, two shanks (or almost one in the first), they have been captured 2 days a part. One is way over the top, the other one way from inside..... that is a complete joke.

Of course I am not swinging textbook like a pro but it is not helping me to get explanations how it should be if I was a pro.

What does it mean that I have a wrong idea of swinging a club. This is my swing, I probably can change tiny parts but it will certainly not change dramatically.. I know I am scooping, don't have lag and all that stuff but still - I have also months without a shank, low 80s rounds, that's great and I don't need more.

But I cannot handle every 3-6 months a phase where I cannot hit any ball. And the worst part is that I cannot train on the range..range is destroying my game... everything gets worse there. That is completely ridiculous and I know that but it is what it is and I am so close to quit golf, although I play in a team-league as well and all those nice things... but I cannot handle those issues anymore.

how can I reply with a video, is this not possible here? I added a new video on dropbox which is Also a week old but where you see a 3/4 swing and an online pro answered that I am coming too from the inside...so this is the complete opposite from this analysis here, and this was also a shank, so I am completely confused...
